Be Water Positive

Scott Shawyer

“Through my experiences on the oceans, I’ve come to think a great deal about water, despite its abundance, it is a scarce and invaluable resource for sustaining all life. As Canadians, we are privileged to take freshwater for granted, but now, as Be Water Positive, we recognize the urgent need for responsible water management. Embracing this new purpose allows us to shed light on the global water scarcity and inspire positive change. Together with our key partners we can make a significant impact by promoting water positivity
