Sudbury, Ont. – A province-wide tour to encourage bans of bottled water in municipal and provincial facilities, sponsored by the Council of Canadians and CUPE Ontario, comes to Sudbury on Thursday, April 16. The 4-city speaking tour across northern Ontario features Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians and Senior Advisor on Water to the President of the UN General Assembly, and Sid Ryan, CUPE Ontario President.
The town hall meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Dynamic Earth, Atlas Copco Theatre, 122 Big Nickel Road, Sudbury.
The bottled water industry sells water a shared public resource for huge profits, undermining our faith in public water. The Unbottle It! speaking tour provides communities with the facts and calls on local governments, school boards community groups and individuals to tap into clean, safe public drinking water.
