The Canadian Water Quality Association promotes the individual right to quality water; educates water quality professionals; promotes the growth of the water quality improvement industry; serves as a unified voice in government and public relations; provides a role in consumer education.

CWQA provides close contact with federal regulatory and legislative officials. We not only warn of impending legislation, we act before laws are passed. We represent the industry before regulatory agencies such as Health Canada, Industry Canada and provincial ministries, such as Environment, Health and Consumer and Commercial Relations.

Canadian Water Quality Association members are kept in the forefront of the industry by way of the latest technical and scientific information acquired through laboratory testing and research studies. This information is disseminated to members through newsletters and special publications.

In this age of rapid development, education often spells the difference between progress and stagnation. CWQA offers a wide-range of educational and certification programs.
