Client: Toronto Water Watch
When Toronto City Council voted 26-16 to turn its water system over to a private corporation, most people thought it was a done deal, but Public Interest coordinated a year-long campaign to overturn a City Council decision. Public Interest helped build a broad coalition of labour, environment and citizens’ groups, generated extensive media coverage, lobbied key decision makers and ultimately persuaded City Council to overturn their previous decision by a vote of 33-4.
