Hanneke will be signing her new book “Water in Canada: A resource in crisis”. Hanneke is an environmental journalist writing for the Edmonton Journal. With a foreword by world-renowned water expert Dr. David Schindler, Water in Canada makes it crystal clear that the quantity and quality of our freshwater resources are diminishing at an alarming rate. Environmental journalist Hanneke Brooymans examines the effects of human activities on our water, and presents a thought-provoking analysis of our water issues: • where Canada’s freshwater comes from • water politics and economics • the impact of climate change on our water resources • whether our supply of freshwater now and for the future is healthy and sustainable in the face of increasing urban, agricultural and industrial use • threats and concerns including pollution, bottled water pros and cons, boil-water advisories and flawed water treatment systems in our municipalities and First Nations communities • what our three levels of government are doing to protect and conserve freshwater—and what they should be doing • conflicts related to international water issues including diversion projects that might see our freshwater sold to thirsty states in the U.S. These huge issues, which have enormous ramifications for future generations of Canadians, receive fair and intelligent discussion in this fascinating treatment—an essential book for anyone who uses or drinks water in Canada.

Title: 2 Fil Screening: River Webs and Return of the Red Lake Walleye Edmonton Water Week’s Ecology Day. Water is vital for all life on Earth. The science of ecology helps us understand how ecosystems function and guide restoration efforts. About the films: River Webs http://www.riverwebs.org/ takes a close look at an international group of river ecologists who share a story of tragedy, growth, and recovery. Across Eastern and Western cultures, this unlikely circle of friends shows us a very human side of science, while demonstrating how the process of discovery works. The inspiring lives and experiences of these scientists build a rich story of hope and interconnectedness, while providing a personal window through which to view rivers, ecology, and conservation. Return of the Red Lake Walleye http://www.returnoftheredlakewalleye.com/sp1.html chronicles the extraordinary effort of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians—working together with the State of Minnesota and the federal government—to bring back the culturally vital walleye from the brink of extinction and restore it to health in Red Lake. It examines how the Band and State overcame decades of bad blood to forge an innovative public policy solution that puts cooperation before conflict and science before politics, fueling an amazing recovery that has defied the odds. A compelling example of tribal sovereignty in practice, Return of the Red Lake Walleye documents the significance of the walleye’s return for the Red Lake community, its people, the tribe as a whole, and those generations yet to come. |
