The Wellington Water Watchers celebrated a milestone on July 30. The grassroots organization received “Blue Community” status from the Council of Canadians. This week, this was celebrated on a largely attended video event with Blue Community co-founder Maude Barlow (see here for information and link to the video recording). The Wellington Advertiser now published an article about it. Water Watchers executive director Arlene Slocombe said at the virtual celebration:
“After lobbying for years for municipalities to become Blue Communities, we recently realized we could become one too.”
