We have had to cancel tonight’s webinar on the Story of IWA Canalway Cavalcade, but we will be looking to reschedule this event.

Learn the story behind IWA Canalway Cavalcade in this webinar presented by IWA’s Libby Bradshaw.

London’s canals are linear parks in the heart of London, but they weren’t always so accessible. IWA’s iconic London festival was born out of a movement to open up the canals for all Londoners to use, which became the city waterscapes that we know and love today.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
