Ripple Effect: Protecting Canada’s Freshwater

Canada is full of amazing lakes and rivers, but many Canadians don't realize our water is under increasing threat from things like agricultural run-off and sewage.

This series looks at efforts to protect Canada's fresh water and is made possible due to support from Mountain Equipment Co-op as part of its Homewaters campaign, which is dedicated to preserving Canada’s freshwater from coast to coast.
