Our boards and task forces are busy, and our annual Activities Report has hit the streets.
The IJC’s recent Spring 2015 Semi-Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., featured boards and task forces that help spread cooperation from coast-to-cost in watersheds along the Canadian-U.S. border.
The border is not a boundary at all in this case. It brings people together to make progress on key issues concerning the two countries and our shared waters.
The six-member Commission, with three representatives each from Canada and the U.S., heard and discussed progress reports with its numerous boards and task forces during the week of April 27-May 1. Those included the Great Lakes Water Quality and Science Advisory boards, which were reorganized last year and are off to a stellar start.
IJC boards and task forces are made up of volunteers from areas including the general public, academia and government. The meeting was hosted by the Canadian Embassy, and commissioners held other executive sessions and meetings during the week with U.S. government representatives and officials.
Besides accepting progress reports, the Commission also released its 2014 Activities Report at a reception for meeting attendees. You can pick up an electronic copy at this link.
You can read various progress reports via the links below (click on the images for infographics from a few of the boards). You can find previous and upcoming reports on our Publications page.
