WWD 2001 Event Canada - Toronto's World Water Day 2001 Agenda
A call for action
Under the slogan Give thanks for the blessing of readily available, sanitized drinking water in Canada, World Wide Wellness in Canada put out: a Call to action for Torontonians and all Canadians to get involved in assisting 40% world population who have no safe drinking water.
World Wide Wellness in Canada put out: a Call to action for Torontonians and all Canadians to get involved in assisting 40% world population who have no safe drinking water.
Call to action for a united, focused government, business, and civilian effort to:
Adopt safe water sanitization and treatment methods and practices that promote improved water conservation and health enhancement.
Adopt ‘Water for Life’ awareness campaigns and methods that promote Water, as life-giver and the first line of defence against health challenges.
Our rationale is that when people who live in countries blessed with an abundance of drinking water really understand the health-enhancing benefits of pure, fresh energized water, they are more likely to understand the devastating effects of lack of water in developing nations and move to conserve, preserve, and help others.
Thanks for your assistance, and congratulations - World Water Day is a wonderful tribute to our most precious asset. We need to make it a daily act.
