A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
In 2010, the University of Ottawa became a bottled water free campus; however, in order to accomplish this task we needed to win the trust of the community and demonstrate that the drinking fountains on campus were safe. The thinking being that if the campus were to become bottled water free, (1) the University would be morally obligated to ensure that everyone on campus had access to safe drinking water, and (2) community members would be more accepting of the ban if there were clean and accessible water fountains.
