The Council of Canadians held a symposium on water management down at Metro Hall earlier today, a watershed event where H2O specialists from Hamilton, Toronto and Simcoe County were given a chance to pool their ideas before a rapt audience thirsty for information.

This site may be called Urban Flute project, but without consideration of  rural roots, our cities are sunk!

Serious environmental issues were bantered about, underscoring the dire need for establishing a National Policy pertaining to one of Canada’s most precious and embattled resources. Without federal legislation, water tables in Southern Ontario, Manitoba and other regions of Canada could be ruthlessly depleted in any number of provincial cash-grab scenarios.

If you consider that water is fast becoming the oil of our time, your attention to H2O issues are of paramount importance. Outcomes from today’s symposium? Create a veritable tsunami of solidarity demanding that the federal government address this pressing issue.
