  Project Blue is the Roots & Shoots Canada 2009 national water campaign. The purpose of Project Blue is to encourage Roots & Shoots groups to focus their projects on water-related issues and take part in coordinated activities and events. In doing so, groups’ projects will be united around a common theme in order to increase their impact. This website is intended to be a hub for all things water. We encourage Roots & Shoots members to use the site to connect with other groups and organizations working on water issues across Canada.

  Project Blue aims to:

  • Educate youth on contemporary water issues
  • Support youth in taking action on water issues
  • Mobilize youth to increase the impact of their activities
  • Empower youth to increase awareness and understanding of the global water crisis
