Recently, the Canadian Water Network had new headquarters built near the [[University of Waterloo] after their previous headquarters became property of Research in Motion. The network protects watersheds, ecosystems and public safety around Canada. The CWN has reduced waterborne illnesses and advanced technology, management and governance of Canada's water resources.
