John and I worked on this event at its inception...and I as a water activist and Steering Committee member of the Council of Canadians would like to support this year's event and help in what ways you may find useful. I am helping again with this year's Travelling World Community Film Festival March 10th-13th which will be held at both UBCO and Okanagan College. We have the film Water on the Table...a powerful film that highlights the work of Maude Barlow on the global issue of water. Perhaps you would like to be involved in our scheduling of the showing time and such like on either Thursday or Friday March 10th, or 11th? We are just lining up the final schedule of the films...another one that is powerful and on the topic of water is Oil in Eden which speaks of the risk of the Enbridge oil pipeline that is proposed to run from the oilfields of Alberta to the port on the BC coast and then to have the oil shipped over to Asian ports. This is important for more folks to know about too! On the website just click the link for the film descriptions. My home phone number is 250 868 0900 Hello John, Leanne and Allisha,
