We work with a broad range of stakeholders to improve cooperation for more effective water protection - including monitoring, data sharing, outreach, education, and research. We are in the process of re-designing Water Connections, an online portal to connect Canada's water community, in order to better serve its users. www.waterconnect.ca will allow everyone to share data, experiences, best practices, templates, news, and events about their own water activities, and will generate engagement within communities for water protection. Other important initiatives include educating shoreline owners and recreational water users how to best conserve the health of lakes and rivers. Our location is also home to an impressive demonstration site for a zero discharge wastewater garden!

CBSDC is a charitable organization whose prime focus is the development, expansion, and maintenance of a series of walking and hiking trails. The network originally paralleled the Corner Brook Stream, and has since expanded to interconnect key areas of the city providing a green transportation alternative. This river system flows through the city providing industrial and potable water, while also giving walkers a respite from city life within its natural corridor. The stream is also home to successful reintroduction of a sustaining run of Atlantic salmon. The trail system has been instrumental in influencing healthy lifestyle choices; providing recreational opportunities such as birdwatching, snowshoeing, skiing, jogging, geocaching, orienteering, swimming, etc. CBSDC has also partnered with local schools and educational facilities to assist in programming and use of the trails as a venue for a variety of academic pursuits.
