PROGRAMS
The multiple award-winning RiverWatch Institute of Alberta is a non-profit registered charity delivering some of Canada's best watershed education programs - the namesake RiverWatch School Program; CreekWatch Citizen Science; Summer River Ambassador Outreach; and Youth Climate Leadership Challenge. In each RiverWatch program - whether involving students, volunteers or public - participants learn the science of their local river ecosystem and have the opportunity join a raft float trip. Rafting takes everyone out into the natural world and right into the mix of ecology, wildlife, history, geology, engineering, science and data collection. Our programs showcase rivers like nothing participants have seen before and create an experience they’ll never forget!

Science
All RiverWatch programs engage participants in authentic science. We provide the tools and instruction that help answer the question “How healthy is my creek or river? Through first-hand data collection and observation, participants generate their own conclusions!
"RiverWatch delivers watershed education on and along Alberta’s rivers and creeks. Through the use of river float trips, portable water quality labs and stewardship activities, program participants learn the science behind Alberta waterways. By becoming more watershed literate, Albertans of all walks of life can better understand, enjoy and care for our natural environment!"
