Mission
To inspire and empower individuals, groups, communities and industry within the South Saskatchewan River Watershed to participate in stewardship initiatives and activities that will protect the beauty, diversity and integrity of the watershed, while encouraging environmentally sustainable economic and cultural activities.
Vision
We envision a future where the People of our Watershed, the Councils which represent them and the Commercial Entities which provide goods and services to them, share a stewardship ethic which ensures the long-term economic and cultural wellbeing of the watershed through ongoing cooperative efforts in ecological protection and conservation.
Our Goals
- To protect and preserve the quality and quantity of surface water and ground water within the South Saskatchewan River Watershed.
- To ensure a safe and adequate supply of potable water for the people of Saskatchewan who depend on the South Saskatchewan River Watershed as the source of their drinking water.
- To engender an appreciation and an understanding, by the residents of the South Saskatchewan River Watershed, of the fundamentalimportance and value of protecting the water supply.
- To promote environmentally friendly management practices and support local municipalities and industries, in efforts to incorporate them into their operations (both in terms of water usage and effluent release or run-off).
- To encourage watershed residents to make environmentally sound choices in their homes and their day-to-day lives, by creating awareness, by providing information on what individuals can do, and by simplifying the process.
- To emphasize the economic importance and value of preserving the natural environment, particularly with regards to watercourses, aquifers, riparian areas, and wetlands.
