As the old adage goes: “when it rains; it pours”.

This month, CBJ is giving a nod to our wet summer with a wet issue. We spent a lot of time underwater—from municipal water facilities to the oceans that drive our fishing industry—discovering what lies beneath.

First, we talked to an expert from the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association and got the real story about water quality and how politics affect industry standards. We also checked in on a couple municipalities to see how they are upgrading water treatment plants to better serve their communities and lakes. Last but not least, CBJ interviewed fishers from the East and West Coasts to learn why they are serious about sustainability.    

As not to get completely waterlogged, we dried off and headed downtown Toronto to visit Sports Net where we talked to Doug Beeforth about the broadcasting business and why the network is so popular.

As always we’re happy to bring you this edition! Grab a towel and enjoy the read.
