The World Water Day Celebration 2010
Sunday, March 28, 2010, Community Hall, Elmvale
Celebrating what is special about Elmvale
Last year, the
Elmvale Foundation (EF) launched its first annual celebration
of World Water Day (WWD) - the tradition continues. This speaker
series is designed to help people think about water, and how
fortunate the Elmvale area is to possess some of the purest
water on the planet. Water is the basis for all life and factors
into every aspect of our daily lives from the food we eat
to quenching our thirst to our personal hygiene. Can you imagine
a world, or community, without clean water??? many of Earth's
people can! Being informed is the first step towards protecting
this amazing natural resource.
In addition to the day's speaker, a Town Hall meeting will
be held in the morning to discuss/disseminate information
related to how the County initiatives related to future "waste"stream
management might impact on water source protection.
This year, please join the Elmvale Foundation in celebrating
World Water Day on Sunday March 28, 2010, at the Community
Hall in Elmvale. This is a look forward to and a must attend
event because of the importance of taking time to think about
water and how we can maintain the quality and quantity of
our water resources for the next generation to enjoy.
World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)
in Rio de Janeiro. In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly
designated March 22 of each year, to raise awareness about
water issues. For more information about World Water Day,

This Elmvale World Water Day celebration and presentation
(Sunday March 28, 2010) is all about families; interactive
learning for children about where water comes from and how
important it is to life; students in primary and secondary
schools studying water can fast-track their learning about
how we value water and where the opportunities are to take
ownership in protecting and stewarding this valuable resource
in Elmvale, and around the world. And parents can learn how
they can take steps now to ensure that their children live
with quality water resources.
