Summary
Troubled Water examines the threat to some of the local drinking water systems within 100 kilometers of my home. It also highlights some of the successful solutions that people and communities have brought forward to protect their water sources.
Why we need your help
Your donation will help cover the cost of adding a new section to the film about the effects that mining operations and land rehabilitation have on drinking water. This section will draw examples from the copper mine that contaminated the Tsolum River, the potential contamination from the Raven Coal mine and the risk associated with filling a rock quarry with contaminated soil in the Shawnigan lake watershed. Any contributions over the campaign goal will be used to help promote the film and do further education work.
Do you know what’s going on in your community drinking watershed? Many people don’t. We take our water for granted, sometimes until it is to late.
We’re making Troubled Water to help educate the public and will be broadcasting the film for free online.
Recognition for your help
Contributions over $50 will be recognized in the credits, the larger the contribution the larger the credit including up to a full credit screen with a custom photo of a favorite river or lake for the background (submit a photo or choose from one of ours). We want you and yours to be able to look back and see the contribution you made towards better water management for future generations.
Online Launch Date and deadline
