Abstract

In June 2012, the WSP partnered with the University of Victoria’s Faculty of Law and Environmental Law Centre to host a two-day workshop on water entitlements. With British Columbia’s Water Act modernization process underway, the main purpose of the workshop was to disseminate knowledge about legal entitlements in the province, and take lessons from other jurisdictions, including Australia and the United States.
