9 In Focus, November, 2010 2UNF R7ELLS We in Canada are lucky to have easy access to fresh, clean water. Every year, however, three million people die from contaminated drinking water. For the last few years, the people of Halton Hills have come together to combat this problem by participating in the Run for Wells. Runners, walkers and supporters of all ages participated in the fundraiser, which included a Kids 1K Fun Run, a 5K race and a 5K power walk, as well as food, games, face painting and prizes. This year's event, which took place September 25 at the Gellert Centre, raised more than $30,000, which will go towards building two wells in Africa.
