[All] A Watershed moment? (Pun intended)

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks!
I relayed this to Kevin but wanted to share this with the group too. 
I've been dealing with very bad pnumonia for about a month and a half. First antibiotics failed to stop the chest infections. I'm on the second set right now with the most powerful stuff they've got plus two codine tylonols to boot. Never the less, sleepless nights allowed me to come up with that brainstorm  that unfolded as I wrote it.  I have no clue on timeframe or the policy architecture to shape the logic and I'm a go with the flow thinker. I'm not fixated on having to do it, and I don't see the vision of me doing it yet but that idea of approaching issues based on Watershed wide is the fundamental thing that just clicked. 
This might actually be an idea for a National Water Strategy actually: The creation of a Watershed governance tier including a rep for every watershed to represent issues of ecological/economical/policy/sustainability based initiatives. 
That is what I really want to see as an ongoing thing. The EBR idea was a concept to get to this step which I think has more appeal as a long term ongoing dynamic tool rather than falling into the shortcomings of the Oak Ridge's Moraine Act. That policy got it's wheel stuck in the muck. It's hard for them to push concerns further but if we facilitated a watershed vehical of governance, we could impliment solutions on an evolutionary basis. Keep dialogue going, spread what works and keep expanding and working together to get results etc. 
If we have the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, why not the Federation of Canadian Watersheds?
