World Water Day in PA celebrated with film screening
March 22 is World Water Day and in its honour, Prince Albert’s John M. Cuelenaere Library is teaming up with the local chapter of the Council of Canadians and Cinema Politica to show the documentary Water on the Table on Friday.
There will a representative from the city of Prince Albert speaking before the film, along with speakers from Idle No More, members of Renewable Power: The Intelligent Choice and Labour and Food Secure Saskatchewan.
Nancy Carswell, a member of the Council of Canadians, said the documentary “is a character-driven, social issue documentary by Liz Marshall that explores Canada’s relationship to its freshwater, arguable its most precious natural resource.”
“World Water Day this year focuses on cooperation as its theme and this film in particular is going to highlight the fact that although were in Canada, everybody shares the same resource. So we have to be very careful about how we cooperate together,” Carswell said.
