Across the Ărramăt Project, many place‑based initiatives have highlighted deep and diverse relationships with water, whether responding to drought, flooding, aquatic species health, contaminants, or the cultural, social, spiritual, and inherent value of water. These perspectives continue to shape our collective work on biodiversity, health, and well‑being.

Pathway 8 invites you to join us for Water Stories, an online screening series featuring ten short videos submitted by project partners. These films will support shared learning across the network and contribute to discussions informing a co‑authored policy brief and publication for the United Nations Water Conference (Abu Dhabi, December 8–10, 2026), where we will host the virtual side event “Water as a Relative, Not a Resource: Indigenous‑led Solutions for Water Security, Biodiversity Conservation, and Health and Well‑being.”

Screenings will take place on November 6, 12, 20, and 26, from 7:00–8:30 PM MT, with 2–3 films shown each week followed by discussion. The full screening schedule is attached; please note that the order of films may be rearranged as needed.

To attend, please RSVP to Kristine Wray (kwray1@ualberta.ca) or to arramat.water@gmail.com, and we will send you an invitation with the Zoom link for the session(s) you wish to join.
