This is a handout from our webinar, "Creating Community: Lessons Learned through the BC Small Water Systems Community Network". The BC Small Water Systems Community Network is a free online platform that brings the small water system community together. The platform is open to anyone involved or interested in small water systems. To create a successful community, it's essential to encourage participation, provide accessible education, and facilitate conversations. By doing so, the community can create greater opportunities for everyone and lead to improved outcomes.
This webinar was originally recorded on November 15, 2023 for the Freshwater Stewardship Community webinar series. Now more than ever, connection has cascaded into the digital world…this brings with it many challenges but also an abundance of opportunities! The BC Small Water Systems Community Network was created to support owners, operators, and volunteers of small drinking water systems by connecting them with each other, and the diverse and interconnected community that supports them, and their resources. Many lessons have been learned since the launch of the Community Network. We will explore how we can take these learnings and create better community spaces for everyone!
