Working together for the long term.
The Oldman Watershed Council (OWC) is a community-based, not-for-profit that works with
everyone to find practical solutions to environmental challenges that impact us all. It takes time
and effort to work collaboratively but OWC is building a new way of managing our water and land where
we all do our part, work together and think long term. We believe it's worth the investment.
In 2023 and 2024, OWC took water samples upstream and downstream of Lethbridge to get tested for pesticides. This was part of a Canada-wide pilot project led by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, and it’s given us new insight into the health of the Oldman River.
