We want to hear from you! Take part in DataStream’s feedback survey
February 14, 2023
Dear DataStream friends, colleagues, and collaborators:
For seven years, DataStream has been working with networks across Canada to support data sharing and improve access to freshwater quality data. Our mission is to promote knowledge sharing and collaborative water stewardship so our waters remain healthy for generations to come.
We are seeking feedback on our core programming which includes an online platform for sharing water quality data, data management and water science resources and training, network building, and advocacy to promote open access to environmental data. Whether you use DataStream’s online water data platform or work with us in other ways - we want to hear from you! Sharing your insights through this survey will help guide the ongoing development of DataStream.
The survey will remain open until February 22 and should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous. We will share a summary of the survey results in the coming months.
DataStream was developed by The Gordon Foundation and is carried out in collaboration with regional monitoring networks. We have engaged Imprint Consulting to help guide us through this evaluation process.

On behalf of the DataStream team, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!

Community science on the agenda in the Great Lakes
Since DataStream began in 2016, we have focused on amplifying the important work of community-based monitoring groups. We’re excited that community science has been a central theme at the many gatherings we’ve attended over the past few months throughout the Great Lakes region.
Paddling and protecting the Madawaska
For the past four years, Madawaska Kanu Centre’s office team have been tracking the river’s water quality. Once a month, unless the conditions are too icy, they measure parameters like pH levels, dissolved oxygen and transparency.
