Opinion: Time to address Saskatchewan’s water quality woes

With everyone back to work and school, the water quality in Saskatchewan lakes and rivers may not be front of mind for many right now. But World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD) makes this the perfect time to think about, and take action for, all those freshwater places that are near and dear to us. WWMD is an international outreach program held annually between Sept. 18 and Oct. 18. By engaging communities in monitoring the condition of local water bodies, it helps increase awareness of the importance of good water quality to life, livelihoods and personal enjoyment.
