STRATEGIC PLAN

BCWWA is working towards realizing a vision that people have safe water and a healthy water environment. In pursuit of this vision, the BCWWA's mission is to connect and empower the BC and Yukon water sector to advocate for and safeguard public health and the environment.

The BCWWA Board of Directors, with input from key volunteers, subject matter experts and water sector stakeholders, identified four ends or goals that our programs, services and activities are focused on through to the end of 2023: 

1. The water sector has an engaged network.
2. The water sector has a competent and sustainable workforce.
3. Leaders make informed decisions about water services.
4. Leadership and innovation in the water sector is encouraged and promoted.
