Join Dr. Robert Case (Associate Professor, Social Development Studies) in a free, online lecture through the Waterloo Public Library Lecture Series.
Topic: Why for-profit water bottling is a problem and what we can do about it.
Water is emerging as an increasingly potent focus of political contestation in communities all around the globe. Wellington County, Ontario, is no exception even though – unlike many places where water is a issue of contention – most people in Wellington County have reliable access to as much safe, clean, affordable water as they need. In this presentation I will share findings of my research on how water activism has evolved in Wellington County and what is driving it, and engage those in attendance in a discussion of next steps and opportunities for involvement in the local water justice movement.
