About the Conference

The word ‘symposium’ is rooted in the Greek verb ‘sympotein', which means ‘to drink together’ ... and that’s exactly what we plan to do (in the context of public water)! Halton high school students are invited to attend the Halton Water Symposium for a day of entertainment, conversation, and thoughtful deliberation on bottled water and related water justice issues. Our vision is to promote and foster youth awareness and activism by having students engage with a number of captivating individuals and organizations who share a passion for environmental justice.
