Important Waterkeeper investigation & study into PFAS contamination in US waters. Good reason to assume similar chemicals in Canadian water particularly around sewage treatment plants. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/6968b3… Great work — now need to keep PFAS out of water & bodies.

Amazing Fin Donnelly taking in the challenge of speaking for Fraser River as Riverkeeper. Next summer — going to swim the river again to raise awareness and excitement about protecting 30 percent of watershed by 2030. Swim Drink Fish Waterkeeper Alliance

Shockingly poor water quality around Montreal. Especially when think it is an island on fast moving river that holds 20% of worlds surface fresh water. Disgraceful. Want a go for a dip? Montreal swimming water quality varies Swim GuideWaterkeeper Alliance ctvnews.ca/montreal/artic…

Came across this amazing 2005 performance by Gord Downie at ideacity. He was a visionary artist who was anxious about a future without Canada. We are real. We are survivors. We are good, honest & beautiful. Believe in each other. Swim Drink Fish ideacity.ca/video/gord-dow…

What are people looking for in summer? A trip to beach with family. Swim, maybe fish. Have fun. All for free. Swimmable cities makes that all possible for most people. It should be the #1 env priority of every city. Keep untreated sewage out of water. Swim Drink Fish Swim Guide

The western beaches in Toronto have incredible potential for swimming. However, the waters are highly polluted due to sewage & stormwater. Take this opportunity to request enhancements to water quality & accessibility. Swim Drink Fish ca.mar.medallia.com/?e=459217&d=l&…

Protect your waterway by swimming in it. The most powerful environmental regulations and laws in Canada are designed to protect users. If you don’t swim or fish in your water — or get drinking water from it — you aren’t protecting it for people or wildlife. ⁦Swim Drink Fish

Protecting water for fish like trout, salmon & bass is good for swimmers. Protecting water for swimming is good for fish. 2/3 of Canadians swim or fish at least once a year. Let’s work together to restore swimmable fishable water for all. Swim Drink Fish ⁦⁦Waterkeeper Alliance
