Niagara Falls is the place to be for lovers of water in November! Join us for the NWWC2  2023 in Niagara Falls!

It can easily be argued it's never been more important for Canada's municipal water sector to communicate effectively with the general public. The list of issues seems endless. While costs are rising to provide safe drinking water and treat wastewater effectively, Canadians see drinking water as a right and many think they should get it almost free. Affordability has become an issue for water like everything else. Then there are continual stories in the media about safety concerns with water, shaking the faith consumers have in their tap water.

The question then becomes, how do you communicate effectively to tell your story?

Grant Ainsley has won awards in journalism and public relations and he'll talk about why the news media has changed and explain why it's no longer the "go to" to get messages to the public. He'll speak about creative ways the municipal water sector can use to tell its story in our opening keynote and explain why the water industry should get more active in communicating with Canadians.

Learn why the communication game has changed and how to be successful in the new world.
