More than 500 people attended CanWell 2002 sharing innovative ideas as the industry continues to evolve.
This year's CanWell convention and trade show was a major success - matching our industry people with each other, government officials and many visitors from outside of the country. More than 500 people attended the convention, which was held at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, June 13-15. Gathering information, renewing old acquaintances and having some good fun were all part of the agenda.
Hazel McCallion, the mayor of Mississauga, opened the convention. She praised the association for its hard work on promoting the concept of ground water and encouraged the association to work with her and other municipalities to promote its benefits. Together with CanWell chair John Ortt, Debora Wright and other members of the committee, McCallion cut the ribbon to open the convention. Ontario Ground Water Association (OGWA) president Terry Marquardt and his wife, Monica, and vice president Allan Wright and his wife, Debora, escorted the mayor around the trade show where she delighted the exhibitors and attendees with her knowledge and humor.
