Canada Water Week and a Shout-Out for EALT by Laurie Blakeman
This is Canada Water Week (March 19–25th)!
Most people are not aware that it is activities on the land that most impact our rivers and lakes, and that protecting natural areas is a great way to conserve our precious water resource.
One person who recognises the value of Land Trusts such as EALT, for their various benefits to the citizens of Alberta, is MLA for Edmonton-Centre, Laurie Blakeman. She provided a great shout-out to EALT for all its stewarding work at the Legislative Assembly, and suggested that everyone consider being involved through donations, volunteering, etc.
In this Canada Water Week, we invite you to:
- Read about the benefits to water quality and quantity of conserving natural areas: http://ealt.ca/media/uploads/Water__wetlands.pdf
- Consider supporting EALT’s work by volunteering or donating: http://www.ealt.ca/act/
- Join EALT volunteers and others at Jasper Place High School on Monday 19th, 6:30pm in their Global Café for a water event, where speaker Dr. John Fennell will lead a discussion about groundwater’s importance to rivers and lakes: http://canadawaterweek.com/event/372
