Water...it is in us, we need it, we drink it, we play and wash in it....Water makes life as we know it possible.
In Canada, we are so fortunate to have a huge abundance of fresh water. Often, we take this for granted, never really thinking about how truly amazing, life-giving and necessary water is. Yet, worldwide, almost 1 billion people live without access to this basic need.
Thinking about water differently is the first step toward valuing, respecting and equitably distributing our water resources in Canada and around the world.
Here are just a few ways that you can celebrate this important day: Monday, March 22, 2010.
WaterCan is proud to have been selected as an official partner of the Ottawa (Mar. 20-21) and Calgary (Mar. 27-28) Go Green Expos, hosted by National Events Management.
A portion of the proceeds of both events will be donated to WaterCan in support of clean water projects.
