2017-2018 NWT Youth Water Stewardship Opportunities Calendar. During development of the Water Strategy, water partners emphasized the importance of involving young people in water stewardship. Youth are the future leaders of our territory. Opportunities for youth to learn about water stewardship and participate in water stewardship activities create informed leaders and decision-makers of tomorrow. This calendar lists opportunities for young people to explore water stewardship activities and programming in the NWT. Each month highlights different ways for youth to get involved!

Description: 

The Canadian Heritage Rivers System requires ten-year monitoring reports to assess whether designated rivers continue to meet the criteria for designation as a Canadian Heritage River.  

The first ten-year monitoring report for the Tsiigehnjik/Arctic Red River was published in 2005, and covered the period 1993-2003.

The second ten-year monitoring report for Tsiigehnjik covers the period 2005-2014. This assessment builds on the first ten-year report, and is based on the river’s cultural, recreational, renewable resource, biodiversity and intrinsic value to local Indigenous community members.

To promote a cooperative approach to water management, the Governments of Canada, British Columbia, Alberta (AB), Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories (NWT) and Yukon signed the Mackenzie River Basin Transboundary Waters Master Agreement (Master Agreement) in 1997. The Master Agreement commits all six governments to work together to maintain the ecological integrity of the aquatic Management Agreements (Bilateral Agreements).

The NWT-AB Agreement was signed March 18, 2015. This report outlines highlights of the first year of implementation of the agreement.

This report contains implementation highlights of the inaugural year, 2015-2016.

Description: 

There is limited knowledge about the quality, quantity and location of groundwater near NWT borders in the Mackenzie River Basin. To understand gaps in knowledge, a report was completed to describe what is known about groundwater resources, uses and monitoring, along with potential impacts to groundwater. The report will support development of Groundwater Learning Plans. Development of these plans is a commitment in NWT transboundary water management agreements with Alberta and British Columbia for areas where there are moderate levels of existing or proposed development and/or areas considered vulnerable.
