Children's Water Festival

The Hamilton Children’s Water Festival in 2023 will take place in-person (with virtual activities available) and is an opportunity to educate students about the importance of water conservation, protection, awareness, respect, science technology, history and health. Teachers can register to attend one of three festival days. Space is extremely limited and spaces are filled on a first come, first served basis. Each activity is based on the Ontario Curriculum and are provided by our close community partners such as Green Venture, the Royal Botanical Gardens, the City of Hamilton, McMaster University and many more!

• Who: Grade 4 Teachers and their students
• What: Hamilton Children’s Water Festival
• Where: Pier 4 Park
• When: May 30 to June 1, 2023
• Why: To give students a new respect for water and the environment as well as make them aware of local water issues.
• This is a free event

The ultimate goal is to foster decision-makers, initiate the process of behavioural change, to empower children to initiate change within their homes, schools and communities, and to encourage children to become catalysts for change by taking information and new found respect back to their own environment.
