The conference has been held in North America, the British Isles, Europe, and Asia. OUR VITAL WATERWAYS: AGENTS OF TRANSFORMATION The 2017 World Canals Conference, held on the Erie Canal in Syracuse, New York, focused on canals and inland waterways as agents of transformation. Once the mothers of cities and ports, transformers of landscapes and builders of nations, canals are now the focus of revitalizing communities, the makers of power and the suppliers of essential water. The conference encouraged conversations about the operation and maintenance of new and historic canals, canals within larger landscapes, environmental issues, economic and community revitalization, navigation, tourism, recreation, historic preservation and interpretation. The conference provided opportunities for cross-fertilization—of disciplines, organizations and nations—that is one of the hallmarks of World Canals Conferences. PRESENTATION ABSTRACTS More than fifty presenters shared their experiences and insights with attendees from 19 U.S. states, five Canadian provinces, 14 countries, and three continents. Abstracts of their presentations follow, along with brief biographies and contact information for the speakers. We encourage readers to continue conversions started at WCC2017 to further the transformative power of canals and inland waterways.

As an organisation we look after some of the island’s most valuable outdoor recreation resources and as an all island body have a clear challenge to demonstrate that working together we can deliver more for people across the island than working separately. The past five years have been challenging, a change in focus, moving from our customers being primarily boat owners to a much broader customer base and new opportunities for growing use of the waterways. Thanks to the skills and experience of our operational teams, despite greatly reduced funding, we have been able to respond to infrastructure failures, commenced lock gate manufacture and replacement, and maintained the hundreds of recreational and amenity sites across the waterways.

  • World Canals Conference Brings Opportunity to Pittsford
    World Canals Conference brings opportunity to Pittsford For the first time in history, Rochester will become host to the World Canals Conference (WCC) for the second time. Rochester is the only city who has hosted the conference twice – this is a true honor and tribute to our community. Some past host cities have included: Montreal, Canada; Dublin, Ireland; Liverpool, England; and Lille, France. Next year, the World Canals Conference will be hosted by The Netherlands. The conference is an annual worldwide event that brings canal and waterway enthusiasts, professionals and scholars from around the world together, in one location, to learn about a variety of topics related to canals. These topics include: the protection of historic canals or features; revitalization of canal systems; harbor sites; canal trails and amenities; and much more. The conference is an opportunity for the host city to showcase their canal or waterway and its many achievements. The City of Rochester has seized this opportunity to offer a variety of activities for both WCC attendees and residents. If you are interested in finding out more about the conference and different events surrounding it, I encourage residents to visit www.wccrochester.org. The Town of Pittsford is also excited for the opportunity the conference will bring. On September 22, the Town and Village of Pittsford will host over 60 guests from the World Canal Conference who will be touring Pittsford on a day trip. Our guests will have the opportunity to take a Sam Patch boat tour, participate in a walking tour of Pittsford led by Mayor Corby and myself or spend the day shopping along Main/State Street, Schoen Place and Northfield Commons.
