CBA - The 2011 National Environment, Energy and Resources Law SummitThe Canadian Bar Association's National Environmental, Energy and Resource Law Section is pleased to present the latest instalment in its popular, ongoing, annual summit, focused this year on water rights and water protection and regulation, in a new, expanded two-day program format. We are especially pleased to have the participation of the International Law Section in this year's program.
Water is life. As the demand for clean water increases and as supplies are threatened, it is crucial that lawyers hone their understandings of the federal, provincial and international laws and rules surrounding this invaluable, irreplaceable and scarce resource.
Join leading legal practitioners, academics and industry experts from across Canada and from the United States, South Africa and elsewhere, to discuss and understand the implications of differing domestic water allocation regimes on competing demands, the interplay between commercial development and water, the regulation and protection of natural water resources. Learn about the international concerns surrounding trade and the treatment of water as an export commodity, water in the Arctic, and trans-boundary water pollution. Develop insight into local and municipal issues such as restricted water use, pollution control legislation, drinking water delivery, watershed management and issues related to the development of Canada's water related infrastructure and the protection of Canada's drinking water supplies.
Alberta, with its water licence moratorium and the unquenchable demand from the oil sands, is in a unique position to host this event dedicated to Canadian water law. The Banff Springs Hotel is the spectacular setting where you will engage with colleagues and share experience and timely knowledge that can be applied in your practice. Enjoy the company of old friends and new at the ever-popular networking receptions (planned Thursday and Friday evenings).
