Water warriors: Maude Barlow in documentary, Mary Muter on the Agenda

AWARE Simcoe – March 21 2013 

The Site 41 battle is one of those featured featured in this documentary about Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians. Water On The Table explores Canada’s relationship to its most precious and increasingly threatened natural resource: freshwater. 

From the controversial corporate privatization of water to bulk water exports to the United States, Water On The Table captures the public and private sides of Maude Barlow in her tireless crusade to have water declared a human right, and not a commodity. 

Water on the Table is a part of TVO’s Celebration of Canada Water Week.
