Ottawa – Today, the City of Ottawa held a Water Roundtable with Ottawa residents and representatives from Conservation Authorities, government agencies and environmental organizations to discuss the health of Ottawa’s rivers, lakes, and streams. The event was hosted by Councillor Maria McRae, Chair of the City’s Environment Committee and featured speeches from the Ottawa Riverkeeper, Meredith Brown and Windmill Group Founding Partner, Jeff Westeinde.
“Water is the lifeblood of our City and we are blessed to live in an area with such abundant water supplies,” said Mayor Watson. “Ottawa’s residents enjoy some of the safest and highest quality drinking water in the world and we are committed to preserving and protecting our precious water resources for future generations.”
“The City’s Water Roundtable engaged our community on a variety of issues affecting water in Ottawa,” said Chair McRae. “The Roundtable discussions increased awareness and shared understanding of the health of Ottawa’s water resources; and furthered conversations with residents about what we as a community can do to ensure these precious resources are protected and preserved.”
To engage Ottawa’s youth in this important discussion, the City launched a call for posters to increase awareness about drinking water and the significance of water in our community. All Ottawa schools with students in grades three, four and five were invited to submit one poster on the theme “Water is Life,” to illustrate the importance of water as the lifeblood of our city and a resource that we rely on daily. All submissions are being displayed at City Hall and on ottawa.ca as part of the event.
