On March 22nd, World Water Day, the Waterloo-Wellington chapter of the Children’s Water Education Council (CWEC) held their 2nd annual Soup Fest. This event was intended to raise awareness of World Water Day, as well as fund raise for festivals in the Region that aim to educate students about our water sources.
The Children’s Water Education Council is composed of 25 regions across the province and has the mandate of educating youth to respect our water sources. Many of these regions have their own Children’s Water Festivals, as well as other environmental events and camps available to youth.
In the Waterloo Region, upcoming events include, an environmental leadership camp running April 15th and 16th at the Region of Waterloo Museum. Click here for registration.
The Waterloo-Wellington Children’s Groundwater Festival will also take place Monday May 30th to Friday June 3rd, 2011.
Celebrating World Water Day at Soup Fest was a great event. This is a new event, that we are hoping to grow larger in the next few years. Raising awareness and support for the Children’s Water Education Council.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success.
