Canadians marched outside of Toronto's City Hall on March 22 for World Water Day, a time for countries to draw attention to the United Nations' recommendations for global access to fresh water. Led by KAIROS and other social justice bodies, protesters were pressing for community control of water services throughout the world.
The event coincided with the last day of the World Water Forum in Mexico, where international finanical institutions, multinational corporations and government officials discussed the growing trend of privatizing water resources. World Water Day has been observed since 1993.
