Here are CFUW Stratford Advocacy Committee members at City Hall today after Bev Symons (centre) presented our report to the Infrastructure, Transportation and Safety Committee of City Council and appealed for the City to ban sale of bottled water at municipal facilities and events. The Committee referred the issue to staff for a report on how such a measure would be implemented with a staff member noting (as Bev did too) that it’s been done in other municipalities. We’ll be watching for next steps!
The media was there, with a story already available at The Beacon Herald online
