WRTBWA Quality and Quantity

Winter River – Tracadie Bay Watershed Association is a community based charitable organization established in 2008 that works to protect and enhance the health and aesthetic qualities of the Winter River - Tracadie Bay watershed, which is the main source of municipal water for the City of Charlottetown. Water quality and quantity data is collected to help us prioritize restoration projects, monitor effects of previous projects, and monitor long term trends due to wider scale activities such as water extraction for Charlottetown or local farming operations. Our projects are funded by the Government of Canada, Government of Prince Edward Island, City of Charlottetown, private foundations and individual donors. Our work is carried out by summer students, recent graduates, skilled supervisors and dedicated volunteers.
