From the Canadian Blue Community Water Watchers:
Less than 500 people… but Water needs YOU!
If you’re reading this, you’re one of the almost 30,000 people who are on our email list. You’ve followed along on our campaigns, taken actions to protect water, attended events, celebrated wins, and perhaps even shared learnings in your community.
But the truth is, only 494 people donated to Water Watchers in 2025.Yes, you read that right (unfortunately). With all that we do to protect waters and communities around the Great Lakes, it’s the generosity of less than 500 people that’s keeping our organization alive. We work tirelessly day in and day out to protect water from the corrupting and consuming forces that seek to drain her, pollute her, and destroy her. Water is our closest, most precious kin. Together, we can honour water and keep her safe. Could you imagine what we could all do together if more of those 30,000 people made even a small donation? |

Only 1% of charitable giving goes to environmental causes in Canada. With all the challenges and threats facing our collective ecosystems, it is mind-blowing that so few financial resources go to the people and organizations working to protect the waters and lands we all depend on for life.
That’s where you come in.We invite you to become a donor today to show you truly believe Water is For Life, Not Profit. |

Featured Cause: $5,000 Matching Funds for the Mobile Drinking Water Unit Program! |
 |
| Drinking water is a human right and bottled water is not a feasible solution for drinking water access. To support a world without bottled water, we are launching a new drinking water access program: Water Watchers’ Mobile Drinking Water Unit. This program will provide a practical, community-powered alternative to bottled water, delivering clean, safe drinking water wherever it’s needed. The program will support communities facing water access gaps and reduce reliance on single-use plastic at public events, all while encouraging action to protect water at the source and drive public investment in public drinking water systems. |
A generous donor is matching all donations up to $5,000 for this initiative! |

We have a lot of exciting work coming in 2026, including water protection, Indigenous solidarity, and climate justice campaigns that punch above their weight class. We need to resource this work powerfully and continuously because this movement is about sustaining protections for the long-haul.
The more people in the movement, the more powerful we become. Thank you for being with us! |
