Conference Objectives and Format

With the objectives of assuring continuous improvement in drinking water services and public health in the face of new challenges, aging infrastructures and new solutions, the Conference will bring together the most topical reports and papers on drinking water issues. The 2010 Conference and Policy Forum will focus on the unique challenges faced in aligning research needs with reality in the drinking water situations across the country. The Conference will feature both oral and poster presentations, and possibly a policy or research forum.The Forum will address regulatory issues, research needs, and the contaminants of emerging concern.

Who Should Attend

Every person involved in drinking water supply and public health should attend and particularly those affected by the policy and regulatory frameworks or public concerns. The Conference provides a unique opportunity for Canada's consulting engineers, government regulators, municipal utility managers, public health professionals, private operators, researchers, students and others concerned with drinking water to meet, mingle and discuss the current and emerging issues. Thus, the conference discussions will help develop policies and the path forward.

Conference Sponsor

The Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water is the sponsor of this biennial Conference. The Committee develops the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality, which are published by Health Canada and initiated the Source to Tap management framework, published jointly by the Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment and Health Canada.

The Guidelines focus on reviews of scientific data relating to drinking water quality, on assessments of the implications of this data for health and on policies designed to protect the safe quality of the nation's drinking water supplies. The Source to Tap approach followed in Canada integrates and sets out the framework of areas and activities needed to ensure public health in drinking water supply.

Keynote Speaker

Dr. Peter Huck, NSERC Chair in Water Treatment

The Program Technical Committee is pleased to announce that Dr. Peter Huck has agreed to deliver the Keynote Address at this year's event. With a theme of “Drinking Water in the 21^st Century - from research to reality”, Dr. Huck, as the holder of an NSERC research chair in water treatment, will provide insight into Canadian research priorities, and how they will shape the future of municipal water treatment.

Dr. Huck received his Bachelor’s and Masters degrees in Civil and Water Resources Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. His Ph.D., obtained from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario in 1977 is in Chemical Engineering. Following two years in consulting, Dr. Huck joined the University of Regina in 1979 and moved to the University of Alberta in 1982.

Since 1993, Dr. Huck has been Professor and NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) Chairholder in Water Treatment in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo. The Chair’s mission is to conduct leading edge, fundamentally-based yet practically-oriented research in critical issues related to drinking water treatment. Funding for the Chair is provided jointly by NSERC, the water industry and the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Huck has 30 years experience in directing research related to drinking water treatment, including several major studies for the Water Research Foundation (previously American Water Works Association Research Foundation). He has more than 100 refereed publications and several hundred conference proceeding papers. His academic and consulting experience are internationally recognized and sought after.

In 2008 Dr. Huck was reappointed a second time for a 3-year term to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment’s Advisory Council on Drinking Water Quality and Testing Standards, which provides advice directly to the Minister. Dr. Huck was the recipient of the George Warren Fuller Award for 2007 from the Ontario Water Works Association (a section of the American Water Works Association [AWWA]) and in 2008 was the first person outside the USA to receive AWWA’s prestigious A.P. Black Research Award. Dr. Huck was retained as the water treatment expert by Part One of the Walkerton Inquiry in 2000-2001.

Mr. Chris Rayburn, Director, Research Management, Water Research Foundation

Mr. Rayburn is the Director of Research Management for Water Research Foundation, with overall responsibility for planning and overseeing the Foundation’s research program. He has been with the Foundation for twelve years and has served as project manager and senior project manager prior to his current position. Previously, Mr. Rayburn spent fourteen years as a consultant with various U.S. engineering firms, most recently as manager of IT Corporation’s Denver regional office from 1994-1997.
