From the source to the tap and back again... 
How can Ontario protect its water resources and guarantee safe drinking water? Join us as we examine the state of water management in Ontario -- including source protection, safe drinking water, conservation, and pollution prevention. 

Clean Water for Ontario is an opportunity for organizations, professionals and the public to share ideas on the future of water management in Ontario.  We've invited many of the province's leading environmental and professional organizations to share their knowledge of the issue.  We've also set aside time for brief statements from other groups and the public.  It's your chance to make learn about the options and make your views known. 

Conference proceedings will be published and made available via the Conservation Council's web site.
