The University of Waterloo announced a$1.75 millioncommitment from RBC Foundation to support development of a new graduate study program in Integrated Water Management.
The RBC Water Scholars program aims to provide students graduating with water-related degrees broader perspectives and the ability to communicate and co-operate with experts from other water-related fields.
