The tour will offer valuable insight into how the facility operates, the steps involved in wastewater treatment, and the measures being implemented to align with upcoming regulatory changes. The Town of Gander began planning for these changes in 2017 by allocating funds for the construction of a modern wastewater treatment plant designed to meet updated Canadian environmental effluent water-quality standards. Today, the facility is fully operational and features an aerated lagoon system engineered to accommodate Gander’s projected population growth to 17,500 by 2040. The facility has greatly increased the performance and capacity of Gander's wastewater treatment system, ensuring that the municipality meets Federal Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations as the Town continues to grow. To kick off our conference, we invite you to join us for this valuable learning opportunity on March 23, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Town of Gander’s Wastewater Treatment Plant.Sign up now by completing the form on the next page!
