The 2nd Annual Canadian Water Summit: Opportunities for Designing Our Water Future Coming to the International Centre in Toronto, Ontario on June 14, 2011 The Canadian Water Summit is a first-of-its-kind conference in Canada, fulfilling the need for idea exchange and collaboration between diverse stakeholders at the forefront of shaping Canada’s sustainable water future. The inaugural Canadian Water Summit in June 2010 was a great success, bringing together 300 leaders from business, government and civil society. The 2011 Canadian Water Summit, themed “Opportunities for Designing our Water Future,” will take an even bigger dive into Canadian water issues and focus on practical solutions to common challenges in the areas of business, municipalities, energy, policy and agriculture.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE...ONE BOTTLE AT A TIME HOPE-2o is a health and conservation-conscious nonprofit company that distributes free stainless steel water bottles to schools and youth organizations and which partners with other non-profit companies in their fundraising efforts. Our mission is to eliminate the use of plastic water bottles by giving every individual in the United States a stainless steel water bottle. For every stainless steel water bottle used, we eliminate the use of approximately 180 plastic water bottles per year therefore reducing the serious environmental and health issues caused by plastic water bottles. HOPE-2o works with eco-conscious businesses who sponsor stainless steel water bottles for schools and organizations and with non-profits who are interested in an eco-friendly fundraising campaign. Whether you represent a school, organization or are a potential sponsor or non-profit company, we'd like to hear from you.www.hope-2o.org

We are working on community based, alternative sustainable energy projects, primarily biodiesel. This is small operation and we consume water in the process of making fuel. However, current systems of energy production based on fossil fuels or nuclear, consume and waste enormous amounts of water. It is the main reason why we should and can not build another coal or nuclear plant. Distrribution of water will be the biggest challenge of the coming decades, and energy consumption will be fundamental to solving water challenges. Small scale local and distributed energy systesm will be critical.

    Thank you for taking part! Be sure to add your name and email to our mailing list so we can keep you informed leading up to the big event.

    Here are our top five picks for ways to celebrate Water Hour!

    1. Take action for the Gulf - Donate to a charity working on the cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico, such as those listed on charitynavigator.com. Tweet @BarackObama or your country's politicians to restrict or phase out offshore drilling. You could also send affirmations and prayers to the Gulf of Mexico and all people and creatures that depend on it - post these on our home page, tweet them (using #waterhour), or share them in a gathering.
    2. Walk, canoe, swim at a favourite water place. Take photos, tweet about the experience (using #waterhour), real time or afterward. Did you see water that's in trouble? Tell us about what you did on our home page, and upload photos to our Flickr group or facebook group.
    3. Have a Water Hour party - Gather with families, friends, collegues, and share stories of your most amazing experiences with water. Toast water after each story. Don't forget to post them at www.waterhour.org/watermoments. Play water themed charades and water themed music, and pass the hat to raise money for a water-related charity of your choice. Tell us about it on our home page and upload pictures/video of your party to our Flickr group or Youtube group.
    4. Do a 24 hour 1 gallon challenge - Can your family go for 24 hours using only 1 gallon of water, like millions of families do every day? Start the challenge at 8PM on June 11th. Post about the experience on our home page, our facebook group, or tweet about it using #waterhour.
    5. Declare your own personal commitment to action; whatever it may be, large or small - you could pledge to stop using bottled water, install a rain barrel, or boycott household cleaners with nasty chemicals. Invite others in the Water Hour community to make the same pledge – see if you can get a chain reaction going! Post your declaration at www.waterhour.org/declare.
