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.
A low-flow shower like the Grohe Rainshower 310 SmartConnect head, for example, reduces water and energy use. WaterSense certified with a flow of 6.6 litres-per-minute, its good looks prove that efficient resource consumption and high design can get along. It’s also a DIY-install—simply replace the shower-head and attach the remote control to the wall.
