With the Federal Election coming October 21, let's take a look at what water promises are being made to Ontario voters. Our Fall
has a lot of updates. Including:
The chronic gap in drinking water access for First Nations across Canada is one of the few water issues that all four Ontario parties agree on. All want to end long-term DWAs by 2021
Just in time for Thanksgiving, here are some teachings from what Robin Wall Kimmerer calls
'The Honourable Harvest':
Ask permission of the ones whose lives you seek.
Abide by the answer.
Never take the first. Never take the last.
Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.
Take only what you need and leave some for others.
Use everything that you take.
Take only that which is given to you.
Share it, as the Earth has shared with you.
Be grateful.
Reciprocate the gift.
Sustain the ones who sustain you, and the Earth
will last forever.
