<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma; COLOR: #000000; DIRECTION: ltr">Hi
GREN friends,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am wondering if the Wellington Water Watchers might have 10 minutes or so
at your next board meeting to share some campaign news and actions (and some
campaign materials)? Please let me know. In the mean time, please help us in any
way you can to get the word out about a couple of actions we are launching
(detailed below).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As you probably now, the Wellington Water Watchers (of which I am a board
member) and communities fighting Nestle Waters in Wellington County have had
some success, lately, in getting the attention of the Premier and Minister of
Environment and Climate Change around the issue of for-profit water bottling in
this province. The Province has made some small concessions in the right
direction, but we are not satisfied and nor should anyone in this
province.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have <B><I>four demands </I></B>on the province, and we are calling on
friends and allies across Ontario to join us in these our demands on the
Provincial government:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(1) deny Nestle's three applications for permits to take water for bottling
in Wellington County</DIV>
<DIV>(2) respect the duty to consult with indigenous communities in the
assessment of water-taking permits in Ontario</DIV>
<DIV>(3) ensure public control and ownership of water, and</DIV>
<DIV>(4) enact policy now to phase out water bottling in Ontario over the next
10 years.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><B>Join us by </B></DIV>
<DIV>(1) Going to <A style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" href="http://www.saynotonestle.ca"
target=_blank>http://www.saynotonestle.ca</A> and endorsing our "Water For Life,
Not Profit" campaign declaration</DIV>
<DIV>(2) Spreading the word and asking everyone in your networks to endorse the
campaign too</DIV>
<DIV>(3) Coming to and helping us to promote <B><I>Waterstock</I></B> (June 11
in Erin), a major food/music/community event designed to raise awareness and
assemble opposition to for-profit water bottling in Ontario. Details here: <A
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" href="http://www.ourwaterstock.ca"
target=_blank>www.ourwaterstock.ca</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In both cases, it's all about the number of bodies, so please do what you
can to take part in and promote both. And if you've got a meeting coming up any
time soon, we would love the opportunity to connect that way too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
