Protect Water: Boycott Nestlé

The Council of Canadians is currently running a campaign to protect underground aquifers from excessive exploitation by large multinational companies. They are drawing attention to Nestlé’s for profit water pumping and bottling operations in Southern Ontario and British Columbia. This, despite the outcries from local residents who believe that the water under their ground should first be used for local purposes, not bottled and sent away.

The Ontario government has announced a proposal to extend the current moratorium on new and expanded bottled water permits to October 1, 2020, which, as explained by the Canadian Environmental Law Association, was put in place in 2016 and first extended in 2018.

You can make your voice heard by submitting your comments on the moratorium before December 18, 2019 on the Ontario Government website.
