The BC Government together with UVIC, UBC Okanagan, UNBC and MITACS (Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems) are hosting a BC Water Symposium on August 30th to September 1st, 2010, in three locations concurrently across the province: Victoria, Kelowna, and Prince George. The objectives of the symposium are to discuss emerging issues pertinent to water science, to develop new collaborative relationships, and to work together to build the foundations for a Water Science Strategy for BC. In addition, the symposium will expose participants to new ideas and initiatives and provide a venue for sharing knowledge and discussing its application to local issues.

You are encouraged to attend the Symposium and to participate in developing a Water Science Strategy. The Symposium will begin with a public lecture and have a mix of plenary talks from both local and international experts, panel discussions, break-out discussions, networking breaks as well as a poster reception. This mix of platforms will give participants a chance to listen to leading experts as well as to meet new colleagues and engage in dialogue around the content of a Water Science Strategy for BC.
