Share the Water: Political? Not really.
Recently, I received an email from an organization that felt they couldn't support Share the Water because they felt it would require them to take a political stance. While I respect that some may not want to weigh in with a particular opinion, I hope that this would not translate into not engaging in the debate at all. If anything, our water future depends on a robust public debate.
New blog and new campaign
We're launching a new campaign today called Share the Water. The campaign will increase awareness about water use and rights in Alberta. We'll also talk about the First-In-Time and First-In-Right (FIT FIR) system and how we can fairly share water given a limited water supply.
