The Wabamun Watershed Management Council members represent a diversity of perspectives, jurisdictional authorities and organizations active within the Lake Wabamun watershed based on affiliations within four broad sectors:
- watershed resident
- government
- non-government organization
- industry/business (industry seats currently vacant)
Each member is responsible for establishing a process for communication within his or her respective affiliation, so that they can represent the broader interests of that group as well as themselves. Alberta Environment has served an interim role in facilitating the selection of candidates, however in the future the Council will take the lead role in its own recruitment and selection. Initial terms are for both two and three year durations (as agreed upon by Council members), to allow for a staggered replacement of members. Subsequent terms will be for two years with no member serving more than two consecutive terms.
Nominations for membership on the Wabamun Watershed Management Council will be accepted until such time as the Council is fully populated, after which time replacement of membership will occur on an annual basis. At the discretion of Council members, vacant seats may be filled throughout the year as required to replace departing members.
The WWMC is currently seeking representation from the following sectors: First Nation/Metis (one seat), NGO Environmental (one seat), Industry (two seats), Agriculture (one seat). For more information please review the following documents:
