Save the dates 2025 Conference

Planning is well underway for the 2025 Conference.

Please mark the dates on your calendars.

October 5 -7, 2025

St. John's Newfoundland

St. John’s Convention Centre

After 10 years, the ACWWA Conference is returning to St. John’s, NL!
The planning for this event has already begun with hopes of making this a memorable experience for all delegates and vendors. The conference theme is Charting the Course, which gives a nod to the rich nautical history of Newfoundland and Labrador where everyone has a strong connection to the sea. Since John Cabot discovered Newfoundland in 1497, sailors have relied upon maps to chart their journeys around our province. This theme continues within the water and sewer industry and can be found in the management of projects, planning for the expansion of our systems, and the recruitment and retention of employees, all of these tasks require us to chart our course to be successful.

Family Day Drawing Contest

You will also find Myles & Maggie’s’ drawings in the 2026 ACWWA Calendars.

Online Courses

ACWWA has collaborated with the BCWWA, MTS and MPWWA to extend their training offerings to our members in Atlantic Canada.

The online content covers the same material as the in-class course, and earns the same number of continuing education units (CEUs).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I complete the course at my own pace?

Yes, for the majority of the time you set the pace. You decide when you want to view the presentations and complete the course work. However, every course has an end date and you are expected to have competed all reading and assignments by the time the course closes. If you do not complete the course work on-time, you will not be eligible to receive CEU credits.
