Stewardship- What you can do!
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.
Goals
1. To protect and preserve the quality and quantity of surface water
and ground water
within the South Saskatchewan River Watershed.
2. 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.
3. To engender an appreciation and an understanding, by the residents
of the South
Saskatchewan River Watershed, of the fundamental
importance and value
of protecting the water supply.
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. To emphasize the overall, including economic, importance and
value of preserving
the natural environment, particularly with
regards to watercourses, aquifers,
riparian areas, and wetlands.
