Water Conservation Awareness Campaign Research

Transition Salt Spring aims to motivate residents of the Southern Gulf Islands of BC to adopt water conservation practices in their private homes and local businesses.

By the end of the project, the team should have a comprehensive strategy and a set of materials ready for implementation.
