How are you Planning on Celebrating Canada Water Week?

Canada Water Week is a week-long celebration of water from coast-to-coast-to-coast, held annually in the third week of March to coincide with World Water Day on March 22.   This year it is March 19-25.  Individuals, organizations and governments across the country are encouraged to get involved by organizing or participating in fun and educational events. Together, we  can raise the profile and understanding of water.   The theme for Canada Water Week 2012 is “Discover Your Water Footprint”.

The best “Water Footprint” calculator I have found is the one from National Geographic.   Just substitute the zip code of some place that has similar climate to our area, like Burlington Vermonts zip code, is 05401 and check it out!   It only takes a couple of minutes and its fun!   You”ll find it at this link.
