Editor’s notes

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

KEN JOHNSON

Welcome to the 18th Edition of the NTWWA Journal. This year has presented the opportunity to get face to face with our Arctic water practitioner peers for the first time in two years – what a treat! A good time was had by all at the conference in Yellowknife in November. The Journal theme of Arctic Water Emergencies is very timely to the issues at hand in the Canadian Arctic and elsewhere in the panarctic world. It is a particular pleasure to have an article from our Greenland peers about an emergency that is very similar to the water emergency that occurred in Iqaluit in 2021. The other articles in the Journal provide water emergency perspectives from across the North American Arctic with a photo collage and an article on the Iqaluit water emergency.

In closing, I must blow my own horn because I have been honoured with the HC Lindsten Award for my service and leadership to the Western Canada Water (WCW) organization, to which the NTWWA is a constituent organization. The Lindsten Award was instituted in 1952, and I am the 70th recipient of the award. As you may not know, I represented the NTWWA on the WCW Board, and I was a member of the NTWWA Board during the same period. My most notable contributions to both WCW and NTWWA have been my editorial activities over the past 20 years serving as a member of the WCW Magazine committee, and a contributor of over two dozen articles to the WCW magazine providing WCW members with insight and perspectives on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in the Canadian Arctic and the panarctic regions of the world.
