We have a fantastic, wide ranging conversation for YOU dear listeners, discussing all the finer points of water and how our lives and communities interact with it.

Our brave and intrepid host, Bethany, is also part of an organization called Protect Our Water Source, which is organized in the Haut St. Laurent area to do exactly that: protect our water. In this incredible episode, we talk about the great BAPE news of the day, how you can get involved in protecting water in your community, and who are the other great supporting players in this fight.
