Welcome to your Spring/Summer Waterfront, which celebrates our charity’s 10th anniversary with reflections from former trustee John Dodwell and celebrity canal fan, Brian Blessed. We also highlight a busy programme of Let’s Events that will help every canal lover join in the celebrations. As our new campaign to Protect Canals for Nature launches we look at how our canals provide vital habitats for threatened wildlife And we look back on another productive programme of winter works that will keep on canals open and accessible for everyone this summer. Finally, you can discover how we've been busy making canals #GamesReady with the Commonwealth Games coming to Birmingham this year. Happy reading!
