May 3-4, 2023 Four Points by Sheraton

Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 3V9

The Canadian Water Quality Association (CWQA) headed back to Niagara Falls for the Spring Conference and Annual General Meeting. The theme for the event was Illuminate, and that is exactly what happened. The attendees started the two-day event at the Niagara Parks Power Station Tour. Learning how water illuminated homes with electricity and how the working conditions didn’t deter the employees from wanting to work there. The afternoon of the first day was focused on ultra violet technologies by showcasing some of the CWQA UV manufacturers. The manufacturers were put on the hot seat under the lights of the local Yuk, Yuk’s stage to answer burning questions from the attendees. Watch for this uploaded to the ‘recorded webinars’ area for members only on the CWQA Website. Finally, we all gathered in the Crystal Lounge for a Welcome Reception sponsored by Kinetico Canada.

The second day featured business discussions, the ever-important information about PFAS and ended with a comedy skit by Scott Faulconbridge from Yuk Yuk’s.

These two days would not have been possible without the great sponsorships. Your sponsors are featured below.

Here are some of the comments from the attendees about the tour and the event:

“Great field trip. I think everyone was absolutely impressed.”

“Love hearing the history behind the scenes”

“Great experience, took a lot out of this conference and really enjoyed!”

“Loved the convention and it was very well put together”

 

“I was very Illuminted and rejuvenated to be in a place where everyone has the same goals. I have not been to a meeting in a long time. I will definitely be returning next year.”

“The UV discussion was excellent! I wonder if something similar could be done for disinfection in general?”

The attendees have spoken and here is the results from the “Where should the CWQA go next year”
