Protecting freshwater is not only the work of scientists.

 

People in many fields help protect, manage, understand, recycle, innovate, or raise awareness about water every day. Some work in the field. Others develop technologies, support communities, design projects, analyze data, or share their knowledge.

 

With this Action Pack, learners discover that water careers are varied, practical, and accessible. They then choose someone they consider a freshwater hero and create a profile that brings their impact to light.

Summer activity

Horizontal line

 

This summer, in collaboration with the Carrefour de l’eau and the C.I.E.A.U., the Action Pack moves beyond the screen and connects to a real-world project: the Carrefour de l’eau technology showcase. 

Located on the Port of Québec site, between the City of Québec wastewater treatment plant and Baie de Beauport beach, this project offers a concrete setting to discover how water can be recycled, studied, put to better use, and better understood.  

The technology showcase is a modular space that can bring several parts of the Carrefour de l’eau to life. It offers a living glimpse of careers, technologies, and initiatives that contribute to the future of freshwater.

A version adapted for Kindergarten to Grade 6 is also available.  

It explores the same theme — freshwater heroes — with a simpler, more visual approach that is better adapted for younger learners.
