The Canadian Coalition for Healthy Waters is a non-partisan coalition of organizations advocating for federal government leadership and policy to support the health of fresh water—including all inland waters—across Canada. From rivers to aquifers, wetlands to estuaries, and lakes to glaciers, water is fundamental to the health, economic prosperity, social well-being and resilience of communities across Canada, and to the healthy functioning of the planet’s ecosystems.

While this is often a time for celebration, it can also be a time of reflection on our careers and trajectories. I made the following as a resource for an application a few years back and found it still relevant, with a few updates around the well-being of the job seeker. The job search process can be long, demoralizing and challenging, so please take care of yourself, breathe and take a break when necessary. It's easy to tell people to network, apply and research, but sometimes the best thing is to take a few days off, see friends and family, and take time for yourself. With all that said, the water sector needs innovative people with passion and enthusiasm (aka you!), and I'm here to provide support when and where I can. Happiest of holidays to all!

Inspired by Steve Misati's incredible posts for young people in the sector, I created a 'cheat sheet' based on my own experiences for my lecture for the IWRM Masters class at McGill University yesterday! ***Long post - be prepared*** What I recommend: 💼 Places to find a job 💼 (in addition to networking) - Josh's Water Jobs and @Josh Newton - Terra.do - OnePointFive (opf.degree) - Climatebase - In addition to scouring multiple university job boards (notably universities that offer degrees in your sector and getting on the newsletter for companies you're interested in) 📘 Rules for LinkedIn 📘 - Have a full and completed profile - when you add new people to network, introduce yourself. While some people add anyone who follows them, I only add people who I recognize, have mutuals with or have introduced themselves. This is a safety step that I take across platforms. - Join groups and post your own content - Post frequently - the algorithm likes it and people are more likely to see your content 🌟 Volunteering and Opportunities for Young Professionals 🌟 *Note: these are based on my own experiences, and there are so many opportunities open. Also, many volunteer positions require you to pay for travel and or/accommodation which immediately excludes many. I'm aware of this and have tried to add other options as well. - North American Youth Parliament for Water (check out Erica-Lynn Porta and Henry Pitts - incredible people) - Onewater - A FANTASTIC group of people (Christian Fischer) making water stories accessible, engaging and putting them on a global platform. A fantastic place to post your research and experiment with how you do this (photography stories, letters to the sea, videography, etc.) + translation - Water Youth Network - very global, and a fantastic way to connect across the world - International Water Association - has a young professionals program and conference, I believe the next one will be in Calgary -World Water Week - Apply to be a volunteer or rapporteur or for the YSPC (YSPC has accommodation and travel paid) - Climate Cardinals - University-based and cool social content - Opportunities to volunteer at NYC Climate Week and San Francisco Climate Week, and most major climate conferences put on by the UN, including UN-Water 2026 hosted by #Senegal and #UAE THAT'S ALL FOLKS - please message me or comment your own suggestions for young people and let's get this shared, it's internship application season!
