The Oldman River Watershed is located in the southwest corner of Southern Alberta. Its boundaries reach west along the border of British Columbia, north of High River, stretching east of Taber, and reaching across the 49th parallel into the Montana, USA. The size of the watershed is approximately 25000 km2 and covers high alpine landscapes, rolling foothills, lush native grasslands, and productive agricultural land. There is one city, Lethbridge, in the watershed, and several towns and hamlets that are home to approximately 200,000 people.
The OWC is striving to manage the watershed responsibly in the face of
a growing population and a vibrant economy. By partnering with stakeholders, we are working to plan for our watershed's future.
You can be a part of this important effort. Membership to the Council is free and available to individuals who live and work within the Oldman Watershed. To become a member, visit our membership page. If you would like to volunteer with us, contact our office at 403-382-4239 or send an email toinfo@oldmanbasin.org.
