World Water Day


On Sunday, March 22 it is World Water Day.  We just finished our discussion about Canada's water resources and the global water crisis in the Geography classes. Although recognition of this day seems to be a good fit for the grade 10 students in these classes considering this, the state of the world's water supply is something that everyone should be aware of. Water is involved in the production of everything - growing and processing our food, manufacturing of goods, electricity production, and in our direct water consumption (drinking, showering, etc.). I encourage all of my students to visit the above website, check out the posters and literature on display and consider posting an image via Facebook, Twitter, Vine or Instagram with the hashtag #WaterIs

Follow these simple steps to post your selfie in support of World Water Day. 
- take a piece of paper and write what water is to you (#WaterIs hope, #WaterIs a day at the Beach, #WaterIs in need of our help, etc...)
- take a selfie or a make a video including your water message and tag it with the hashtag #WaterIs (also include #sjasd and #sjci)
- upload it via Facebook, Twitter, Vine or Instagram. 

Search the hashtag #WaterIs to read the other messages that are being uploaded from all over the world.
