FLOW Canada

The Forum for Leadership on Water (FLOW) is an independent group of water experts from across Canada that encourages government action to protect our critical freshwater resources.  Its members believe that all levels of government must work together as part of a pan-Canadian strategy that effectively addresses current and emerging threats to freshwater security.  POLIS Research Associate David Boyd, Water Sustainability Project Leader and Associate Director Oliver M. Brandes, and former Researcher Tony Maas all helped found the organization and remain active members of FLOW.

FLOW and its predecessor, the Gordon Water Group, have released two major reports: Changing the Flow: A Blueprint for Federal Action on Freshwater, and Clean Water, Green Jobs: A Stimulus Package for Sustainable Water Investments.
