BC Ministry of Environment launches water blog
Environment Minister Barry Penner announced this week the launching of LIVING WATER SMART BLOG, by the B.C. government, in attempts to embark on modernizing B.C.’s Water Act.
“Water defines British Columbia, and over the next 25 years we expect B.C.’s population to grow by another 1.4 million people,” said Penner. “Our water will have to go a lot further without compromising nature’s needs. The Living Water Smart blog is an interactive way to encourage open dialogue on this important topic. Together, we can determine the steps we must take to protect our water both for today and the future.”
A key initial element of this process is to educate British Columbians about B.C.’s Water Plan and about water usage in our province. The blog will also reach out to residents and receive their ideas on how best to manage B.C.’s most important natural resource.
