After 10 years, the ACWWA conference is returning to Moncton, NB. This event brings together water and wastewater professionals from across the region to connect, learn, and collaborate on the issues that matter most to our communities and our environment.
This year’s theme, Flowing Forward: Scarcity to Sustainability, reflects on a pivotal moment for our industry. Across Atlantic Canada and beyond, we are facing increasing pressures from climate change, droughts, population growth, aging infrastructure, and workforce challenges. Yet, alongside these pressures come opportunities—for innovation, collaboration, and long-term solutions that strengthen the resilience and sustainability of our water and wastewater systems. This conference is designed to support that forward movement through shared knowledge, practical insights, and meaningful dialogue with an abundance of networking opportunities.
