- World Water Day is being celebrated all over the world on March 22. Please join The Council of Canadians (CCC) for the "Save Our Water" rally from noon to 1:00 p.m. in downtown Guelph in St. George's Square. Bring a banner or artwork to add to the display by citizens who want the right to clean, safe, public water. James Gordon and The Funky Mamas will be performing and there will be speeches from environmentalists and neighbourhood groups from across Guelph and Wellington County. This will be a fun, family-friendly event!
- The Green Impact Guelph project - or the GIG - is a community-wide initiative working to put Guelph on the map as Canada's leader in household energy and water conservation!
Be a leader in household conservation by installing your free GIG conservation kit and by taking a quick online survey. Take the survey before March 23rd for a chance to win a front-loading steam washer and gas dryer, among other great environmentally-friendly prizes.
