Held in September 2010, and organized by the Partnership for Water Sustainability in British Columbia, the workshop was described as the first of its kind in Canada. Part of the rollout to stimulate a national dialogue on sustainable water management, the workshop program was a unique blend of research and practice. Also known as the Worth Every Penny Workshop, the program connected the dots between three initiatives:

1. Action for Water, implemented by the Regional District of Nanaimo following approval in a referendum in November 2008.

2. Worth Every Penny: A Primer on Conservation-Oriented Water Pricing,released in May 2010.

3. Beyond the Guidebook 2010: Implementing a New Culture for Urban Watershed Protection and Restoration in British Columbia, released in June 2010.

The Worth Every Penny Primer anchored the morning program. The afternoon session was framed as Water for Life and Livelihoods on Vancouver Island. This was especially relevant to the RDN’s Action for Water because of the comprehensive and holistic scope of that program, especially in that it was keyed to integration of water and land planning.
