This report highlights what has been achieved with implementation of wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 and its contribution to-date towards managing the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada and beyond. It also underscores the potential for a wastewater surveillance platform to be applied to other biomarker targets, providing decision-makers in Canada with timely and actionable intelligence regarding disease and other public health threats.

The following recommendations were provided in the report:
Recommendation 1. Capture useful lessons from wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2.
Recommendation 2. Create structures and capacity to sustain capability and develop rapid response to future public health threats
Recommendation 3. Develop frameworks for surveillance program design
Recommendation 4. Develop frameworks for interpretation of surveillance program results
Recommendation 5. Maintain and promote academic partnerships and communication networks that will help identify new opportunities and threats
Recommendation 6. Build upon existing infrastructure and programs
