"You can expect your kid to return a budding water warrior after visiting the annual Haliburton-Muskoka Children's Water Festival (www.hmwaterfestival.ca), which takes place in late September in Minden, Ont." Anne Casselman, Canadian Geographic, June 2011
It is an honour that the Haliburton-Muskoka-Kawartha Children's Water Festival is mentioned in the June 2011 issue of the Canadian Geographic magazine as an ideal place for children to learn about water! You can read the entire article here: www.canadiangeographic.ca.
Thank you to all who help bring this event to our youth and to all the principals, teachers and parents who recognize its importance! Together we are making a splash!
The Haliburton-Muskoka-Kawartha Children's Water Festival steering
committee would like to say a big "Thanks!" to all of the organizations
and people who are supporting the 2011 Water Festival.
