About the Festival

Over 3,000 grade 3-5 students from across London and Middlesex and surrounding areas will participate in the London-Middlesex Children's Water Festival at Fanshawe Conservation Area and Fanshawe Pioneer Village.  The students, their teachers and parent volunteers will learn all about water – how to protect it, people’s attitudes towards it, and technology and science that focus on it.

Maintaining the quality and quantity of our groundwater and surface water is vital for the future development of our communities and for the heath and enjoyment of the residents. Educating youth about water and the environment is the perfect way to start doing this.

The Festival rotates through three communities - London-Middlesex, St. Thomas-Elgin and Oxford County - on a three year rotation.  Previous festivals have been held in London (2007), St. Thomas (2008) and Woodstock (2009).
