The
Toronto Catholic District School Board is promoting the elimination
of the sale and distribution of bottled water in all of its schools,
offices and at off-site events, when tap water is available.
This
idea was born out of a student-lead, social justice initiative
brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees and passed at
its meeting on April 20, 2011.
A
letter and pamphlet, explaining this initiative, will be included in
our newsletter next month. In the meantime, click on the link below
and you can see the video prepared by our students leaders.

Together,
we can apply our Catholic social teachings and live out our values by
supporting this initiative.
