On behalf of the Global Water Futures program and its national and international partners including the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, we wish to invite you to participate as we broadcast a special World Water Day celebration from Canmore, Canada. The theme for World Water Day 2021 is Valuing Water: What Water Means to You. We have modified that theme slightly to focus on Valuing Mountain Water in a global context.

This one-and-a-half-hour webinar is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time on Monday, March 22nd and will be broadcast by zoom around the world.

The moderator of the webinar will be Bob Sandford, Global Water Futures Chair in Water & Climate Security at the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment. Following a welcome by Canmore Mayor John Borrowman, presenters will include Parliamentary Secretary Terry Duguid on the creation of a new Canada Water Agency; Dr. John Pomeroy, Director of Global Water Futures; glaciologist Caroline Aubry-Wake; U of C Professor and former Director of the Water Survey of Canada Alain Pietroniro; Louise Arnal, Postdoctoral Fellow, Centre for Hydrology, Canmore; climate modelling expert Professor Martyn Clark; Anil Mishra, Chief of Hydrological Systems and Water Scarcity, United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organisation, Paris; and Berit Arheimer, Professor, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute & President, International Association of Hydrological Sciences.
