Turn on the Tap 2009
Julia Wilkinson Encourages Citizens to Turn on the Tap
C.A.R.E. Stratford's fourth annual Turn on the Tap Campaign will be held on Friday, November 27th this year. Stratford Central's Swim Team and Eco Club join C.A.R.E. Stratford in encouraging everyone to register and to help spread the word about choosing tap water as the first choice for drinking water.
"Why wouldn't you want to drink Stratford's tap water? It isn't hard to fill up a reusable waterbottle before you leave your house in the morning. I have been all over the world and whenever I come home from school, I can't wait to drink Stratford's water. I don't think people realize how good our tap water is in Southwestern Ontario," commented Julia Wilkinson, Olympic Athlete.
The campaign asks participants to pledge to drink tap water only on November 27 th and to make tap water their regular choice for drinking water. The spirit of the campaign fosters an appreciation for our municipal water supply.
Locally, participants are encouraged to donate money saved by drinking tap water to Rotary’s Aquabox program. Participants from outside of Stratford are encouraged to donate to local water initiatives. Donations can be sent to Stratford Central Secondary School at 60 St. Andrew Street, Stratford, N5A 1A3.
Beyond the one day campaign, participants agree to make tap water their regular choice for drinking water. Stratford's tap water is our least expensive option for drinking water and is not a burden on our recycling operations or on our landfill. Our example in drinking tap water affirms the work of our city staff who diligently monitor our water supply to ensure its health and safety.
"I drank Stratford tap water out of my waterbottle every morning and night while I was training with SKYAC. Why would you want to miss out on the water that fuels Olympians?" asked Julia Wilkinson.
Please join Central's Eco Club and Swim Team, along with C.A.R.E. Stratford, as we turn on the tap to remind ourselves that we are fortunate to enjoy safe municipal water and to help provide safe drinking water to others. Donations to the Aquabox program, will help provide potable water to others around the world.
Participants are asked to register either by joining the Facebook event found on the C.A.R.E. Stratford group or by contacting Kerry McManus. For more information please contact Kerry McManus at (519) 271-4500 or by emailing carestratford@gmail.com.
