Canada’s largest citizen’s organization campaigns for clean water

Date: 2009.11.21 | Category: Canadian, Domestic Water Conservation | Tags:

Founded in 1985, the Council of Canadians is Canada’s largest citizens’ organization, with members and chapters across the country. We work to protect Canadian independence by promoting progressive policies on fair trade, clean water, energy security, public health care, and other issues of social and economic concern to Canadians.

The Council of Canadians’ water campaign is calling for a national water policy that protects Canada’s water from bulk exports and privatization, because:

• The free market doesn’t guarantee access to water;
• Bulk exports could open the floodgates to trade challenges;
• Canada’s water supply is limited;
• Public water is safer, cleaner and more affordable; and
• Water is essential for people and nature.
