Bottled Water Free Day
Start: 00:00

 
A new campaign has targeted March 11 as the day students and workers on Canadian campuses take back their taps and fountains. Bottled Water Free Day is a joint project of the Canadian Federation of Students, Sierra Youth Coalition and Polaris Institute and looks at how free access to water becomes more difficult as public drinking fountains and other infrastructures are not being maintained or designed in new buildings. Bottled water corporations are moving in to corner the market, replacing public infrastructure with private vending machines.

Screening: FLOW
Start: 19:00
End: 21:00

 
Don't ignore World Water Day, Monday, March 22nd, but mark it by attending the showing of the excellent film, FLOW.

This film exposes the hardships brought on people around the world by the privatization of water delivery by huge corporations such as Suez, Vivendi and RWE AG, and by the exploitation of water aquifers by companies such as Nestles and Coke. Third World countries are being forced into privatization by the World Bank and IMF, even though it often results in their poor being cut off.
