Freshwater is one of Canada’s most precious resources. With more than 30% of the world’s freshwater in our care, we have a global responsibility to protect and steward it through effective public policy.

The Geoffrey and Erika Bruce Fellowships are designed to support the next generation of freshwater leaders, policy researchers and practitioners to focus on public policies that ensure the sustainability of Canada’s freshwater resources. Funds enable Bruce Fellows and Bruce Postdoctoral Fellows to focus their research on important water policy topics and generate critical recommendations regarding freshwater resources in Canada.
