Congratulations to Ray and the team in @LullymorePark on the celebration of their 30th anniversary and the opening of the new section of their boardwalk.

An inspiring project born out of a vision showing how restoration, tourism and local economies are interlinked.

On this historic #WorldWaterDay, I have a request for leaders meeting at the UN this week:

Take #WaterAction, put the #WaterJusticeManifesto by brave water defenders at the heart of these talks.

Water is NOT a private commodity.

Water is a shared human right. Water is Life.
