Vincent Massey Collegiate to Walk for Water

While access to water is not an issue in Montreal, on Friday, April 27 (1:15 pm) at Parc Maisonneuve (4601 Sherbrooke East), students at Vincent Massey Collegiate in Rosemount will simulate what countless people in developing nations have to undergo on a daily basis in order to provide drinking water for their families.

In order to simulate the conditions, students will walk five kilometers around Parc Maisonneuve with either four textbooks or filled bottles of water in their backpacks.

The walk is expected to last one hour.

The Vincent Massey Collegiate House Council is encouraging donations of $25, as this represents the amount needed to provide a child clean water for his or her life. Donations are being accepted online: crowdrise.com/vincentmassey-collegiate.
