A CONVERSATION WITH WATER DEFENDERS

On Sunday, March 28, 2021, from 1-3 pm, in alignment with the Sugar Making Moon, please join us for a conversation about our water and our future. Stephanie and Autumn Peltier have been travelling the world advocating for the protection of water for all beings of earth. In this dialogue you will learn about the maple harvest, cycles of the moon, the breaking of the ice as the season changes, and our responsibilities as humans to restore, defend, and ensure clean water for all.

WORLD WATER DAY PANEL “VALUING WATER IN CANADA”

MARCH 25, 2021 2PM ET/11AM PT:

The 2021 UN World Water Day (March 22, 2021) theme is “Valuing Water”. While most Canadians agree that water is vital to our health and living standards (and to Canada’s self-identity) we see large differences in how water is valued financially, socially, and environmentally, in daily decisions about its management. CWRA is hosting a panel of experts on how water is valued in Canada to help advance this discussion. Stephanie Smith, CWRA’s President-Elect, will moderate the discussion.

Water Wow | World Water Day 2021

World Water Day 2021

We are joining people around the world, in celebration and protection of freshwater.  At the heart of the two largest Great Lakes, the only outflowing river from Lake Superior and a plethora of inland waterways, we are truly in a spectacular place to celebrate and protect freshwater.

From season to season, our experiences of water change, as do the activities and memories that go along with them.  We have reached out to students across the Algoma District and broader local and global community, asking people to share their freshwater stories.  What a heartwarming and wonderful experience to share.  Thank you to all who contributed.
