Water Is Life. Unfortunately our sources are polluted by individuals and industry undermining the health of our nation. Our governments value the rights of corporations and multi-nationals over humanity and the earth. Their policies of exploitation have brought us to the point of a global water crisis. As Canadians, if we do not speak up right now for sustainability; make a stand today, at this very moment for something that we believe in - something so simple as pure water - we shall lose it forever, dooming plants, animals and our children to extinction. These are the times; this is the last stand for water, air, earth: for life itself.
Thanks,
WaterWalk is intended to help focus and give voice to Canadian's concerns for water across the many regions of the country and to encourage an awakening to water consciousness everywhere in Canada. All people along the route are invited join in by foot, bicycle, wheelchair for any part or all of WaterWalk. Small samples of water (in drops) will be woven together and carried to Ottawa. Pure water is essential to life and health. Governing titanic policies are undermining our health and our ability to leave a living legacy for our children. History has shown that the survival of civilizations depends on clean water supplies. Ask yourself the following questions:
WaterWalk is not an organization. It is a movement of like-minded individuals who care about our water sources, and depends on the support of people en route.
