The Canadian Water Network (CWN), Student and Young Professional (SYP) Committee, representing Kitchener and Waterloo, and SWIGS from University of Waterloo are excited to announce our end of year Blue Drinks event! This will be hosted in Kitchener at McCabe's Bar and Grill on King Street.

Join us for a panel discussion aimed at exploring Indigenous perspectives on water issues. The panelists are Terrylynn Brant, Vanessa Gray, and Rachel Thevenard. Amy Smoke will be moderating the discussion and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

The panel is a collaborative initiative between the Aboriginal Education Centre and SWIGS. The Aboriginal Education Centre is located at St. Paul's University College, Room 232.

There will be coffee, tea and treats. We hope to see you there!

Come join us at the Grad House for free food and great company! Word on the street is that there will be ice cream sundaes as well. Who doesn't want a cool treat on a hot summers day?

As grad students, it can sometimes feel like we have filled our brains with all this niche information that might never be useful... Well at least for one-night let's put all those random water facts to good use for a trivia event all about water! All interested students are welcome for an evening of fun facts with friends. 

‘Blue Drinks’ is an informal event for graduate students to meet and network with leading water professionals from public and private sector alike.
