Lace up with Water Docs on October 16! We’re taking part in this year's Toronto Waterfront Marathon as an official charity! We could use your support… participating in and/or making a donation.
Come and join the efforts to raise funds to carry on the work of Ecologos/WaterDocs. Anyone who signs up to participate in the marathon can do so using our unique link and in doing so, can help fundraise for us!

Everyone interested in running or walking the 5k, half, or full marathon can register using our link and support our cause. So if you or someone you know is into marathons, supporting charities, or just getting outside for some fresh air for a good cause, then we'd love to have you join us. Please use this link registration link. Once you are on the Toronto Waterfront Marathon page, select the Ecologos/WaterDocs organization.
From the Sidelines
If you’re not into running, how about cheering us on from the sidelines? You can still support Ecologos/Water Docs by donating to the team or an individual runner/walker through our link as well. You don’t have to be in Toronto to participate either. You can take part in the marathon virtually from anywhere in the world, so don’t let location discourage you.

WATER DOCS PROGRAMS
Water Docs is evolving its programming. After 10 years of producing the Water Docs Film Festival, our team is now developing an exciting new project called the #LaterNoMore campaign.
Water is the primary medium through which we will feel the effects of climate change. Unpredictable water availability, flooding, exacerbating water scarcity and contaminated water are all threatening factors causing concern about the kind of world the next generation will inherit as well as our ability to mitigate the increasing impacts. Climate change is a complex global issue that will continue to have a growing impact on communities, businesses, and the economy into the future.
It will require significant effort to transition successfully to a low-carbon society. We all have a role to play – individuals, families, governments, financial institutions, businesses, industries, schools, and faith communities – in accelerating and scaling up climate change solutions.
#LATERNOMORE
We are excited to share the details of the #LaterNoMore project. In it’s pilot year, the first solution that we will be focussing on will be Green Transportation. The electric vehicle industry is currently in its infancy, however moving into the not so distant future, it will become a major player in the reduction of carbon emissions. It’s exciting what this industry has in store for us.
Simultaneously, we continue to deliver great programming through our Water Docs at School and Water Docs Where You Live programs. Dive a little deeper and read about who we are, what we do and how we do it.
A three-year campaign to promote climate solutions, shape public opinion and accelerate action to create a carbon neutral environment for future generations.
This extraordinary school program teaches thousands of kids about water and climate using a unique, hands-on approach, instilling a passion for water stewardship.
Take action and make waves for water and climate protection in your community by hosting your own online community film screening.

Guest Blogs
The Water Docs Water Talk is a space where we publish just about anything water and climate related; news stories, fictional stories, creative writing pieces, interviews, personal stories, testimonials, listicles, opinion pieces, you name it! We are offering you a chance to be featured in Water Talk and publish your work on our blog!
If you feel passionate about a particular environmental issue, have a touching story about water or climate, or feel like just grabbing a pen and paper and seeing where your mind takes you, we'd love to work with you to get you published! And hey, we will even toss in a Water Docs branded t-shirt and water bottle as a thank you for sharing with us.
Please reach out to Ben, our Digital Content Manager, with your idea(s) if you are interested in writing something for Water Docs.
WATER DOCS’ MISSION
To evoke a spirit of reverence for water and a liveable climate.
To inform about threats that imperil water and a liveable climate.
To inspire citizen action to protect water and a liveable climate.
““The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have the facts and solutions. All we have to do is wake up and change.””
Every time I enter the ocean, it shows me something beautiful and unexpected. I’m looking for sharks, and a fin whale surfaces, breath bursting into fine mist. Sea lion pups encourage me to play, spinning in the water, swimming fast then turning on a dime and blowing bubbles. Floating at the surface, a comb jelly mesmerises me with rainbow bands of bioluminescence.
