Athabasca Watershed Council

Our Vision The Athabasca watershed is ecologically healthy, supporting resilient communities and a sustainable economy. Our Mission To demonstrate leadership and facilitate informed decision-making in the Athabasca watershed by bringing stakeholders and Indigenous peoples together to achieve our shared vision. Our Goals Stakeholders and Indigenous peoples throughout the Athabasca River watershed understand basic watershed science, are knowledgeable about the condition of the watershed, and are engaged in managing the watershed in a sustainable way. The AWC-WPAC develops and fosters relationships with stakeholders and indigenous peoples throughout the watershed. The AWC-WPAC acts as an information sharing hub and, through it, stakeholders, indigenous peoples, and the general public are able to share and receive information about relevant events, reports, processes, and conditions in a timely manner. The Athabasca River watershed is managed in a way that enables environmental, social, and economic sustainability through an Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP). The AWC-WPAC is a functional and sustainable organization.
