Discussing water security at the GLOBE Forum in Vancouver
March 12, 2024
The recent GLOBE Forum in Vancouver brought together innovators and changemakers from across the country who are accelerating the clean economy.
Any discussion about the social, economic, and environmental challenges of our time must include water, so DataStream’s Carolyn DuBois was delighted to be part of the Ensuring Water Security session. Notably, for the first time in the 30-year history of the Forum, there was a theme focused on water.
Speaking alongside other inspiring water champions Carolyn emphasized the importance of open data and community based monitoring during the panel, which examined the need for a cross-sector approach to water management, protection, and governance to ensure water security.
The GLOBE Forum was a fantastic opportunity to speak with inspiring individuals from a range of sectors. We look forward to being part of future conversations.

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.
