Congratulations to all the world and my heartfelt thankyou to Maude Barlow for her continued effort on behalf of the world’s water. I would also like to again thank Liz Marshall for her inspiration to create “Water on the Table”. A film that reminds us that there is still work to do so let’s all help in every way we can to support that effort. My thanks too to the many people who have in some way helped with this victory for water at the UN. Now let’s keep water in the hearts and minds of our communities so we can continue to move forward on this universal issue. Canada has work to do and we can all be apart of making that happen.
Let’s all take a moment together and celebrate a great day for water!
