The Ottawa Water Study/Action Group thanks all of you who sent in letters to Minister Wilkinson and the Director of the Plastics and Marine Litter Division of ECCC to urge that single-use plastic water bottles be including in the federal governments 2021 plastics ban.

We hope the government hears your important concerns and will keep you posted on any updates.

Wishing you all a happy, health and safe holiday season and we look forward to continuing our work together to promote clean, safe and healthy tap water for generations to come!
"The bottled water industry promotes their product as a 'healthier' alternative to tap water.
But the fact is tap water in Canada is much more regulated than bottled water."
