… our new web skins that is!

We’ve updated the look of our Water Canada and ReNew Canada websites and we couldn’t be happier about them.

In particular, you should check out the revamped ReImagine section of ReNew — it’s pretty spiffy. And our Water Canada online Buyer’s Guide has never looked better.

Thanks to the web guys and gals at Geek Oracle for all their hard work.

Actual Media is proud to announce the launch of Water’s Next, a new supplement to Water Canada. Water’s Next celebrates the abundance of talent in Canada’s water sector. From August to October, we took open submissions to find the industry’s best people, businesses, innovations and projects. Our 22-member jury team looked at all the submissions and came up with this year’s list of nominees.
