Ontario Headwaters Institute - Preserving Ontario's Headwaters

The OHI is a registered charity 'working to preserve the province's headwaters through education & community engagement'. This is a subject near and dear to me, you can read my post on 'Water - it's future & our Future' from my February 19th post on the subject.
The OHI is hosting seven Community Workshops on Preserving Ontario's Headwaters, it's free but registration is required in advance, just so they have enough chairs & coffee!
The seminar location that is closest to us here in Northumberland is taking place on Thursday March 25 at the Peterborough Public Library from 1 to 3 pm. It is being sponsored by Peterborough Green-up and the Otonabee Conservation Area.
This is important to us here in Northumberland because we do have so many aquifers, streams and wetlands flowing here in Northumberland. We are south of Peterborough and the water does flow south to our Great Lake Ontario from the north. If you drink water, cook with water or give water to your children, livestock, pets or friends you may be interested in this seminar.
