About the Watershed Interpreters’ Network (WIN)

The Watershed Interpreters’ Network (WIN) was established in 2007 to foster and facilitate communication throughout the year among all Conservation Authority (CA) educators. This communication includes annual Rekindle the Sparks Workshops, newsletters, social media and other means to share expertise to improve CA education throughout Ontario. To achieve this, WIN works closely with Conservation Ontario.

The Watershed Interpreters’ Network recognizes the uniqueness and importance of Conservation Authority educators: We are watershed-based, we communicate conservation knowledge from our own leading resource management agencies (Conservation Authorities), and we work visibly and locally through education to make our watersheds healthier and safer.

Rekindle the Sparks is an annual workshop for Ontario’s Conservation Authority educators. Its goal is to make our hands-on, experiential, environmental education even better, thereby improving the health of watersheds and residents across our province.

Since 1994, Rekindle the Sparks workshops have provided opportunities for participants to share expertise, collaborate, and learn from leaders in the field. They are energizing and educational!
