Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Beyond Bottled Water Campaign has not yet yielded any measurable results, but can be noted here.
Beyond Bottled Water
Three years ago students, faculty, and staff responded to a referendum question asking “Are you in favour of ending the sale of bottled water on campus?” The majority voted in favour, giving the university a mandate to phase out bottled water, and ensure adequate safe alternatives exist on campus. Last year, at the student union's request, the university formed a working group consisting of the LUSU Sustainability Initiative, Conference Services, Physical Plant, Lakehead Administration, and faculty representation. LUSU has been charged with conducting an audit on Lakehead’s water infrastructure to ensure that water is safe and accessible.
As a result of this campaign, all LUSU owned centres and venues discontinued the sale of bottle water.
Furthermore, the undergraduate class "Water Resource Management" was involved in community service learning in the Winter term of 2014. They conducted an audit of the current Lakehead infrastructure to determine whether or not the university would be able to provide suitable water accessibility without bottled water on campus. It was determined that certain buildings would be able to and others would not. At this time, there is no further action taking place.
