March is Water Month!

Each March, the City of Greater Sudbury celebrates Water Month. This month-long celebration is held in recognition of World Water Day on March 22, an annual United Nations observance that highlights the importance of fresh water.

Here’s how you can take part:

Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Tours
Residents and school classrooms are invited to book a tour of City of Greater Sudbury Water or Wastewater Treatment Plants. Tours are free of charge and available in English or French.

Tours for secondary school students can be tailored to include specific topics related to:
• Chemicals and/or biology
• Career opportunities
• Different levels of government and the services offered by the municipality

Groups can book a tour of the Sudbury Wastewater Treatment Plant (1271 Kelly Lake Rd., Sudbury) or the Wanapitei Water Treatment Plant (321 Trans-Canada Highway, Coniston). To book a tour, contact Julie Friel, Manager of Water Treatment, at Julie.friel@greatersudbury.ca or 705-674-4455, extension 3651.
