Are you looking for an opportunity to learn more about your local waters and support protecting and restoring the water in your community?

Swim Drink Fish’s community water monitoring hubs offer a variety of volunteer opportunities to become involved and dive deeper in discovering and safeguarding your community’s waterways.

From community science and outreach to behind-the scenes projects, our volunteers help to collect and share important information about our waterways and build a community of people who are connected to and invested in the health of our waters. It takes a community to protect our water!

Become a water monitoring hub volunteer at one of our hubs across Canada. Scroll down to learn about the volunteer roles available at each of our hub locations.

We believe a connected and informed community of Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River advocates can make a difference. Imagine the power of one million people with a shared goal to protect and restore the lands and waters of the world’s largest freshwater ecosystem. Our collective voices are strong.

We’d like to connect with people across all political boundaries in this vast and diverse watershed.

By joining Biinaagami, you signal that it’s important to invest in protecting the waters that surround and sustain us. You also have an opportunity to inspire others and showcase your story, project, organization or business. We will invite others to follow your work so that together we can transform local action into collective impact!
