Canadian Water Quality Association

It began in 1956 with a group of water treatment dealers originally established as the Canadian Association of Water Conditioning (CAWC). In 1975, the CAWC merged with the Canadian Water Conditioning Manufacturers Association (CWCMA), their sister manufacturer's association, to form what is CWQA (the Canadian Water Quality Association) today. The intention of the group was to: Representation - Create a single Canadian voice for water treatment dealers, manufacturers and stakeholders within the water treatment industry Public Relations - Assist all levels of government in understanding our industry and serve as a unified voice in government and public relations and staying in close contact with federal regulatory and legislative officials (not only warning of impending legislation but also acting before laws are passed) Deliver clean safe water to all Canadians
