Ensuring Ecological Health, Supporting Resilient Communities and Enhancing a Sustainable Economy.

Our Watershed. Our Responsibility.

The Athabasca watershed plays a vital role in sustaining our communities and our economy. Protecting and preserving it is a shared responsibility for us all.

We work to build relationships, share information, and inform the planning and policy decisions that affect the Athabasca River watershed. Our vision is a watershed that is ecologically healthy, supports resilient communities, and promotes a sustainable economy.
