Across Canada Workshop Series on Resilient Rainwater Management launched in Calgary: "It was an overwhelming success," said Bert van Duin, City of Calgary host
“The big takeaway for me is confirmation that in Calgary we are actually on the right track; and it fits with a number of items that I heard. There is a lot of discussion pertaining to degraded areas, wetlands and streams. People say ‘well, it is degraded and so it has no value’. In contrast to that mind-set, the notion of the Shifting Baseline continuum tells us that we can go back to a higher state,” stated Bert van Duin.
