"RBC is proud to support the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper's activities, which contribute to a culture of water stewardship and ensure our watersheds will continue to be safe as a source of drinking water, as a home for wildlife, and as a place for us all to enjoy," Nixon said.
Founded in 2001, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper is part of the Waterkeeper Alliance and fulfills its mission by educating the public about Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes Basin and by conducting research and public education activities on behalf of the watershed. Its goal is to restore and protect Lake Ontario's natural resources, as well as contribute to its aesthetic, social recreational and economic values. Lake Ontario Waterkeeper regards the ability to safely swim, drink and fish in local waterways as hallmarks of clean water.
"This is an important day for Lake Ontario Waterkeeper," said Mark Mattson, President & Waterkeeper, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper. "RBC's support brings our communities one step closer to a restored Lake Ontario, so we can all safely swim, drink and fish its blue waters."
"RBC is doing important work, dedicating funds to grassroots watershed protection," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Chairman of Waterkeeper Alliance. "This is the kind of leadership we need to protect our environment and to sustain economic growth for generations."
The Waterkeeper Alliance is an international grassroots alliance dedicated to winning back waterways in communities around the globe. Waterkeeper Alliance connects and supports local Waterkeeper programs to provide a voice for waterways and their communities worldwide.
The RBC Blue Water Project is a wide-ranging, multi-year program to help foster a culture of water stewardship in Canada and abroad, so that people have clean fresh water today and tomorrow. The RBC Blue Water Project, announced in late 2007, is a 10-year, $50 million grant program, focused on watershed protection and clean drinking water, and was inaugurated by a $10 million commitment to the ONE DROP Foundation, established by Cirque du Soleil founder, Guy Laliberté. The company will announce additional grants under the RBC Blue Water Project later in September.
