On Saturday, November 16th, 2019, we encourage you to join us in Ridgetown, Ontario, just east of Chatham to have a conversation about clean water. Water and sanitation is one of the six areas of focus of Rotary.
The Great Lakes region represents 21% of the world's surface fresh water by volume and 84% of North America's surface fresh water.
It is all of our jobs to protect one of life's most precious resources. We as Rotarians need to take the lead in demonstrating good local water practices. Small changes in our homes, our workplaces, and our lifestyles can contribute to larger solutions.
Rotary clubs along the Mississippi River are partnering together with other local organizations to promote and support clean water education, water remediation projects, and to celebrate Mississippi River culture. Could this be a model for us since we are surrounded by beautiful bodies of water such as Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake St. Clair?
