Water Hogs Fundraiser
We believe that this initiative will help increase environmental awareness that go beyond local and national interests and will also expand empathy among our students and communities. Depending on our success and level of commitment that we receive from the U of T administration we hope to introduce the Water Hogs to the other U of T campuses in the near future.
