Loblaw Water Fund grantees announced for 2015 WWF May 12, 2015 Share: Share This Page: Share with Facebook Share via Twitter Share via Linkedin Share in email WWF-Canada and Loblaw Companies Limited are proud to announce the Loblaw Water Fund grant recipients for 2015, supporting on-the-ground work to ensure a healthy future for Canada’s waters. Canada is home to 20 per cent of the world’s freshwater, and we applaud the hundreds of local and regional organizations working to keep Canada’s waters healthy. CURA H2O. © Oliver Woods We are proud to support organizations and individuals doing work on the ground, and in our communities, that improve the health of Canada’s waters and connect people to nature. The Loblaw Water Fund recognizes that we can do more together, supporting each other, than we can alone. WWF’s Loblaw Water Fund provides grants to registered charitable organizations and not-for-profits working on action-oriented projects that aim to conserve, protect, or restore freshwater habitats and the species living within them. This is the second year of grants in a three-year commitment; the 2016 grants will open for submissions in Fall 2015 at wwfcastg.wwf.ca/waterfund.

Our 2014 Grantees restored over 75 hectares of wetland and riparian habitat for freshwater species, planted over 7,200 native trees and plants, and engaged more than 1,500 volunteers in monitoring and restoration efforts at 770 sites across the country. Congratulations to all of this year’s Loblaw Water Fund recipients!
