Advancing the Oldman River State of the Watershed Assessment’s Socio-Economic Pillar

The Oldman Watershed Council is launching a State of the Watershed assessment to understand the current health of the Oldman watershed across three pillars: Environmental, Indigenous, and Socio-Economic. The State of the Watershed assessment will use collaborative, science-based methods to summarize current conditions and identify where future land and water management efforts are needed. The Prentice Institute at the University of Lethbridge, a social and political science research institute, is overseeing the Socio-Economic Pillar and serving as the academic supervisor for the internship. To develop the foundational Socio-Economic Pillar, a Mitacs Business Strategy Internship will deliver a roadmap for selecting relevant socio-economic indicators and conduct preparatory work for stakeholder and rightsholder engagement in the Oldman watershed.
