Hello/Bonjour 

Starting us strong for the New Year...Registration will open next week for our first in-person 2026 event, "Connecting the Drops: Water Management in an Evolving World" hosted by our Atlantic Branch in Moncton, New Brunswick on January 29-30th. Before you head out to your Halloween plans this evening, we hope you take a look at all the events that have been posted on our website in the last few weeks.

If you are planning a water-themed costume, we hope you share photos with us. Tag us @cwranational on Instagram or send your photos to info@cwra.org for sharing in a future newsletter.

We hope the scariest thing you encounter this weekend is making plans for 2026!
