Today Ecojustice is releasing it to the rest of the country and inviting all Canadians to stand up for our right to clean water. Here are the grades for each province and territory, as well as the federal government:http://www.ecojustice.ca/waterproof-the-essentials/at_download/file

The result? Canadians are subject to a patchwork of drinking water standards and programs that range from excellent to abysmal. This means that how safe your water is depends on where you live.

Now that the grades are out, Ecojustice needs your help to make sure everyone has access to safe, clean water. Whether you live in Ontario or Nunavut, please join us in sending a message to the people that can make a difference- our leaders. Sign the petition (https://ecojustice.wufoo.com/forms/petition-help-protect-our-right-to-safe-water/) today and call on the federal government to protect our right to water by developing national, legally binding drinking water standards.

While you’re at it, check out our grades map, the full report and a short video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiDwvwuDWKw&feature=youtu.be) about source water protection. Then spread the word by sharing them, especially the petition, with your friends.

Thanks for your support and helping make Canada’s drinking water safe for all.
