Every day is World Water Day r1 Three ways you can protect water right now. ...

Dear friend,

Today is World Water Day, and we are asking you to keep up your support in protecting water – for today, for tomorrow, forever.

TAKE ACTION NOW For more than eight years, supporters like you have helped us pressure the federal government to ensure all First Nations have access to clean drinking water on reserves. The number of long-term drinking water advisories on reserves has been reduced from more than 150 in 2015 to 36 today. But we need to keep up the pressure. Canada is already falling short $138 million dollars each year to maintain and operate these systems. Write to the Prime Minister now to keep the government focused on finishing the job.

In the last few months, more than 27,500 people have become Public Water Champions to stop Big Water from wasting our precious resources for profit. Big Water are billion-dollar hedge funds, multinational corporations, and their armies of paid lobbyists that want to own our water and the infrastructure that provides it – so they can sell it back to us for a profit. Public Water Champions are turning the tide against Big Water – join them and become a Champion today!

And finally, on this World Water Day, I want to share some good news. Today, we welcome our newest Blue Community: Huron College in London, Ontario! The students and administration have passed resolutions to support the human right to water, keep water public, and phase out bottled water sales on campus. We now have 86 Blue Communities worldwide, and activists are busy working on this in eleven other cities as well. To turn your community Blue, This email address is being protected from spambots.

There are few things more important than clean, safe water. Thanks for all you do to protect this precious resource. Together, we can keep up the pressure to fight polluting industries, weak federal government protections, and water privatization efforts that are putting our water resources at risk.

In solidarity,

Mark Calzavara
Water Campaigner, The Council of Canadians
