A base on dry land for water protectors - The Globe and Mail

After attending the inaugural Waterkeeper Gala presented by RBC last year, Kenneth Irving donated his family home to Lake Ontario Waterkeeper. The home will be used as Canada's first centre dedicated to swimmable, drinkable, fishable water.

Mr. Irving, former chief executive officer of Saint John-based Irving Oil Ltd., was impressed by the dedication of the people he met. “Since they were also committed to making a difference through Waterkeeper, I thought to myself, ‘There has to be something special about this organization,’” he said in an e-mail.
