Is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola? Or, is water a human right like air?

Radical Reels Guelph Presents: Water on the Table!
Join OPIRG Guelph for Radical Reels, in collaboration with our Central Student Association and Wellington Water Watchers!
Come by to watch Water on the Table! Water on the Table is a Canadian documentary film directed, produced and written by filmmaker Liz Marshall. The film explores Canada’s relationship to its freshwater resources and features Canadian activist Maude Barlow in her pursuit to protect water from privatization. Counterbalancing Barlow’s views are those of policy and economic experts who assert that water is a resource and a commodity like any other.
This is being presented as part of the Central Student Associations Tap In Campaign, an initiative to make the University go water bottle free! Come out and learn more about the campaign and how you can get involved.
RSVP on our Facebook page today! Facebook – Radical Reels Guelph
The Wellington Water Watchers are a grassroots organization that envisions a society where people recognize that water is inherent to all life, live in balance with nature, and build just relationships with each other. The Water Watchers empower people & communities to work in solidarity towards social justice through the unifying lens of water.
The Central Student Association advocates for and represent University of Guelph’s undergraduate student’s collective interests, provide a number of services to support their success, and run events to enhance their student experience.
About the Tap In campaign: Over the past two decades, major bottled water companies have promoted their product in our schools. Meanwhile, public water supply infrastructure has been neglected and drinking water fountains continue to disappear.
In Canada, with over 100 Indigenous communities who do not have access to clean drinking water, the privatization of water is a scam as a quarter of bottled water is just tap water in new packaging. Students are fighting to reverse this wasteful trend.
