Water and wastewater are public goods and best run by public utilities for public benefit. Full stop. Quoted in today’s @elliotatthewhig on why Kingston’s proven model doesn’t need to be moved beyond public reach to a corporate municipal service. #SwimmableDrinkableFishable

Hopefully by adding your opinion on the future of Toronto Harbour you will not only be supporting a healthy Lake Ontario and Humber Bay but also speaking up for all waters across Canada. Unprecedented opportunity to be heard.

The future of Toronto Harbour is being decided right now. Federal consultation closes July 24. Takes 8 minutes. The lake can’t speak for itself. You can. #Toronto @SwimDrinkFish open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

Claude Cormier’s greatest waterfront work is not in Toronto but Kingston. The Gord Edgar Downie is not just a waterfront park, it is a swimming pier, making Great Lake accessible for all. That is what Toronto needs, deserves, requires. theglobeandmail.com/canada/t… @swimdrinkfish

The debate over Billy Bishop Airport isn't just about jets vs. noise, it's about future of Toronto’s waterfront. For many, the harbour is cottage country. Do we take that away for increased flights? Or continue to restore the connection to Lake Ontario? open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

20% of world’s surface fresh water is flowing by the Island but taking water for granted turned this privilege into a crisis. Lack of investment in proper sewage treatment was a red flag. Montreal warning residents of water shortages this summer. cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/…

Today is the Swim Drink Fish Gala, supporting the Waterkeeper mission to get people back to the water’s edge. With projects like the Wave Prize & the Binnagami project, we are getting people off screens & back to the water that makes swimmable drinkable fishable water possible

Unexpected failure causing sewage bypasses into. Ocean. Community told not to flush toilets, use showers or do laundry until bypass ends. And stay out of water. cheknews.ca/unexpectedly-fai… @swimdrinkfish @waterkeepermark

Toronto's aging infrastructure means a heavy downpour quickly triggers sewer overflows. Engineering fixes take decades, but honest communication shouldn't. Why the City needs to ditch the PR spin and tell the truth about our water quality open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

While historic schools like Yale fiercely document and preserve their history in brick and stone, Queen's is defining its legacy by how it choosing to reconnect with and restore a living ecosystem. open.substack.com/pub/waterk… #yale #queens @swimdrinkfish

Every time it rains in Toronto our sewers overflow into Lake Ontario. We are drifting toward a dangerous future, but art might just be the thing that saves us. Here is why the Swim Drink Fish Art for Water gala matters now more than ever: open.substack.com/pub/waterk…
