The United Nations defines the Blue Economy as an “ocean economy that aims at “the improvement of human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.” However, we believe that definition is too narrow, and needs to be more all-encompassing of the entire water sector from coast to coast to coast.

In our first session, we’ll explore why the wider definition is warranted, why it’s important for the future of the Canadian water sector, and the importance of gaining a greater appreciation of all of our Canadian watersheds.
