We Need to Save ELA!

Canadians and people around the world received a huge blow with the news on May 17 that the Government of Canada is cancelling the ELA program next year.

The abrupt closure means invaluable water research projects—not being done anywhere else in the world—will be lost, and their future findings lost with them.

Take Action Now!
