One of the best things about working at Alberta Ecotrust is the opportunity to support inventive non-profits as they design and implement pioneering environmental programs. 

Waterlution is such a non-profit, and its Canadian Water Innovation Lab is one definitely a trail blazer. 

Slated for October 2010, the Lab will bring 250 young Canadians together in Alberta's Bow Valley for a once in-a-lifetime learning event.

Together, the cohort of emerging leaders will gain the knowledge and tools to help turn their good intentions into concrete actions to protect our most precious natural resource: water.  Led by a team of 50 specially trained facilitators, the delegates will participate in experiential learning activities, field tours, interactive dialogue sessions, and meet with guest mentors including water resource practitioners, policy makers, activists, educators, and Aboriginal and community leaders.
