Wolseley Canada is proud to announce a $10,000 investment in Living Lake Canada’s Oldman Watershed Groundwater Program. 

Groundwater plays a vital role in supplying drinking water to Canadians while also supporting agricultural production. As changing climates create water scarcity, there is a critical need to understand this freshwater source. 

This large-scale pilot project run by Living Lakes Canada serves as a template to develop a provincial framework for monitoring priority groundwater aquifers in the Oldman Watershed in southwestern Alberta.

“Wolseley Waterworks is proud to support Living Lakes Canada in their work to identify groundwater sources,” says Jason Larner, General Manager, Waterworks, Western Canada at Wolseley Canada. “Safeguarding our groundwater aquifers will help with sustainable water use and ensures future generations have access to freshwater.”

With this $10,000 donation Wolseley is investing in innovative research which plays an important role in understanding groundwater knowledge in Alberta and will help shape management planning.

“Wolseley’s generous donation to the Oldman Watershed Groundwater Program is an investment in the long-term sustainability of Alberta’s water,” said Selena Schut, groundwater program manager with Living Lakes Canada. “This support will help identify and monitor priority groundwater aquifers in the Oldman watershed, while also empowering residents with increased knowledge and awareness about their groundwater."
