Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.
An all-girl team of first year engineering students from Canadian University Dubai (CUD) have developed an award-winning solution for the sustainable transportation of water. The wind-powered lifting system was recognized for its efficient, innovative design, winning first place in a recent competition staged by global industry body, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
