Water walk

Dear Editor:

Save Our Water would like to thank Shane Philips for his Ear to the Groundwater Walk.

He stopped at the Middlebrook well, the banner on Mill Street in Elora, and then walked to Fergus to Ted Arnott’s and Michael Chong’s offices, dropping off letters to them. He pointed out the insanity of giving away groundwater that the community relies upon. He then walked to Hillsburg the following day.

Shane grew up in Fergus and knew from his family what happened in Kerala, India when Coca Cola pumped until the wells went dry. No one wants that to happen here. No one wants to deal with the millions of plastic water bottles produced by commercial water bottling either.

Thank you for bringing forward these issues to our communities.

Donna McCaw,
Elora
