Clean Water Foundation a Hit at the Green Living Show!
The Green Living Show in Toronto was a huge success and particularly fulfilling for the Clean Water Foundation. Our congratulations go out to the entire Green Living Team for putting on the best environmental show, we’ve ever seen.
Clean Water Foundation staff helped thousands of visitors learn about ways to make their homes Water Smart and ensure that Canada will always be blessed with an abundance of clean, safe, and accessible water.
Visitors walked off with more than 12,000 Clean Water Foundation brochures and information about programs that support homeowner efforts to preserve and protect our water.

The Clean Water Foundation is sponsoring the first ever Green Roof Award at the Green Toronto Awards. Green roofs are systems where a vegetated area becomes part of a building's roof. Green Roofs hold the potential to green Toronto by increasing energy efficiency, improving air and water quality, as well as beautifying the city by providing natural green spaces in built-up areas.
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony at Toronto City Hall on May 4th.
Our thanks to Wal Mart Canada, for making the Green Roof Award possible.
