We invite you to become a part of the local and global movement for water security and justice by joining the Blue Communities Project – a joint initiative that furthers the work of local Water Watch coalitions across the country.
Learn what you can do as a community activist, public sector worker or municipal councillor to help protect the water commons – our shared water resources – in the face of increasing pressure to put water up for sale and privatize water services.
Take the Tap Water Pledge to support publicly-owned and delivered water by drinking tap water instead of bottled water.
Here is what you can do to get involved in the Blue Communities Project:
- Set up a Water Watch Committee.
Water Watch Committees are the first line of defence against water privatization. Click here to find out how to set up a Water Watch Committee. Have a launch party for your Watch Watch Committee and let the local media know.
- Use the tips and tools in the Blue Communities Guide.
The guide is a useful resource to help you call on your local government to:
- adopt a declaration on the right to water.
- fight the privatization of water and wastewater services.
- stop the sale and purchase of bottled water.
Download the guide for information and resources to help you achieve these goals. Contact your regional Council of Canadians office for more information.
