- Celebrate the progress made in restoring biodiversity of our region even as we have transformed our economy, building on the position established during the G-20 Summit;
- Connect other communities in North America and internationally in a conversation about the importance of water to biodiversity, economic development, and environmental stewardship; and engage our citizens in actions they can take to be better stewards of our environment;
- Change our region for the better by developing water quality plans of action and capacity for follow through.
