On October 25th, Urban Water TMU hosted Downstream 2024! Downstream is an immersive networking experience for young professionals creatively curated by Actual Media. Young professionals gather in round table microsessions to pose questions to experienced professionals from the water sector.
More than 60 ambitious youth spent their Friday afternoon gleaning advice and guidance about careers in the water sector from experts. The students and recent graduates hailed from Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, York University, University of Guelph, and International institutions.
Huge thanks to the experts who generously volunteered their time to the Downstream event. The experts included: William Fernandes, Toronto Water; Ryan Sorichetti, MECP; Rizwan Younis, City of Guelph; Adriano Mena, York Region; Melissa De Young, Pollution Probe; Gregary Ford, Swim Drink Fish; Mike Goffin, TMU Bruce Fellowship in Canadian Water Policy; and David Kellershohn, TRCA.
