What is Canada Water Week?

Canada Water Week is a week-long celebration of water from coast-to-coast-to-coast, starting March 14 and culminating with  <http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/Redirect.aspx?u=357663&q=284557203&lm=29252017&r=255839&qz=6e3a9ee9c54ceed2fa75985ffd66df34> World Water Day on March 22, 2011. Individuals, organizations and governments across the country are encouraged to get involved by organizing or participating in fun and educational events. Together, we will raise the profile and understanding of water and its importance to Canada’s prosperity.

How can you help?

We want to celebrate from coast-to-coast-to-coast! To that end, we are encouraging individuals and groups across the country to organize fun and educational events in their communities. Art exhibits, concerts, documentary screenings, sporting events; educational activities through libraries, community/recreational centres, museums, schools, water utilities or nature appreciation groups—there’s no end to creatively engaging people on water.

Let this year’s theme—Healthy Rivers, Living Lakes—serve as your inspiration! Having healthy rivers and living lakes is critical to all aspects of our lives—recreation, drinking water, family vacations, culture — not to mention the importance to mammals, fish, birds, insects and plants; we all require clean water for our health!

The idea is to exercise the positive power of arts and culture to encourage people to embrace and appreciate water in order to protect it.

How will we help you?

We created  <http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/Redirect.aspx?u=357664&q=284557203&lm=29252017&r=255839&qz=84e8cd2401d5644c05c34786fc190630> canadawaterweek.com as our shared online home. This bilingual website allows you to: upload and promote your event through a calendar and integrated social media; download tools you may need such as logos, web banners and posters; contribute to our Flickr pool of photos; and connect with other individuals and groups across the country.

We have a team of people available to provide assistance with event ideas, make connections in communities where events are already planned, help with communication efforts and promotions. As we approach Canada Water Week, we will also be promoting activities across the country, generating publicity and creating momentum for participation and attendance at events.

Be sure not to miss out! Together, across Canada, we will unite in our love for clean and healthy rivers and lakes! Mark your calendars today—March 14 to 22—Canada Water Week!

Get in touch with us at  <mailto:info at canadawaterweek.com> info at canadawaterweek.com for more information or to discuss your idea for a Water Week event.

Register today and win!
