Business Case

Ten years ago, the Town of Walkerton, Ontario was rocked with tragedy from contaminated drinking water which killed seven people, left more than 2,300 residents severely ill and shook public confidence in tap water across Ontario. An inquiry was held and one of Justice O’Connor’s key recommendations was to restore public confidence in drinking water. The Drinking Water Programs Branch of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment was tasked with developing ideas and products to educate children and youth to become environmental stewards of drinking water.

Target Audience

The primary audience for this campaign were young children aged 8-12. Secondary audiences were educators, municipalities, conservation authorities, science centres and environmental groups.

Objectives

The Ministry of the Environment set out the following goals in the pursuit of restoring public confidence in Ontario’s tap water:

  • Develop educational material for children and youth to help raise awareness about drinking water.
  • Develop networks and align programming with interested stakeholders to increase education and outreach.

Result

Were the adventures of Danny Droplet enough to raise awareness about drinking water in Ontario’s youth? Find out this and more during the webinar with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment!
