A 24 hour relay you can do in 30 minutes. Proceeds to Water First.
On Saturday/Sunday June 3-4 (noon to noon), 48 participants (solo or team) will take a 30-minute leg of a 24 hour relay, carrying a baton as they run, skip, dance, wheelchair, cycle, skateboard, kayak, dog walk – you name it – their way toward glory.
Our collective goal is to raise $24,000 for Water First Education and Training.
About Water First
Sustainable access to safe, clean water in Indigenous communities continues to be a pressing issue in Canada today.
Water First is a not-for-profit charitable organization that partners with Indigenous communities to address drinking water and environmental water challenges through education, training and meaningful collaboration. Since 2009, Water First has collaborated with over 70 communities across Canada on a variety of water education and training projects.
In Canada 14% of First Nation communities are under a drinking water advisory. In Ontario 25% of First Nation communities are under a drinking water advisory.
Water First partners with Indigenous communities that have identified education and training as part of the solution to the water crisis. Because safe water needs skilled people.
