Ecologos Environmental Organization hasn't added a story.

We are so excited to announce the first-annual Water Docs 'Outdoor Adventures' Draw!

Phew, what a year and a half it's been, right? Well, the warm weather is finally here and it's time to get our butts outdoors and we want to help you do it right! Whether you're an environmentalist, weekend warrior, or simply love the tranquility of nature, there's a prize in this draw just for you.

But if we're being honest, the prizes are really just a bonus, because when you enter the draw you are directly helping us, a 23-year registered environmental and arts charity. If you want to learn how you are helping, keep reading through our campaign below. But, if you just came for the prizes (and that's totally okay) then good luck in the draw and enjoy your summer!

Water Docs is at a pivotal moment.

Like most non-profits, the pandemic has hit us quite hard and we are experiencing massive setbacks from some of our main sources of funding. However, we see a unique opportunity for environmental protection to take centre stage as we move past the pandemic. So, despite those setbacks, we are now choosing to make an even bigger splash by launching our first annual Water Docs 'Outdoor Adventures' Draw in support of Water Docs.

 

We work in tandem with Learning For a Sustainable Future and the Ontario grade 7 and 8 curriculum to deliver 8-month-long teachings about water and climate issues in our country and around the world. These teachings culminate in students crafting documentaries about what they have learned. Check out last year's student docs here: YouTube.

Your support can help us reach the next Autumn Peltier or Greta Thunberg.

This fall we will present our 10th Anniversary Water Docs Film Festival. This amounts to dozens of world-class environmental documentaries and films being shown resulting in countless moments of awe and inspiration sparked amongst our audiences. Check out the trailer from last year's fest here: YouTube.

Your support will help us achieve our goal of doing something big to celebrate our 10th Anniversary festival, something bigger than just us.

Everyone deserves to be moved and feel inspired by our films. Our community screening program lets individuals in even the most remote corners of our province and beyond inspire their friends and family by hosting screenings of their own in places like libraries, community centres, and church halls. There's no limit to the places where these screenings can occur.

We have facilitated screenings in places like Owen Sound, Chatham, and Kelowna, BC.
Where will your support take us next?

Not convinced? Here is exactly what your support will do.

If you were moved at all while reading through this campaign, perhaps an emotional connection with the children, a passion for documentary films or the environment, or simply excitement about the possibility of winning one of our prizes, then chances are someone else will too.

Keep an eye on our social media channels and updates page of this campaign for details surrounding the official draw date.

Why not take this moment to share this draw with your outdoor adventure lovin' friends and family. Surely you'd want to enjoy these prizes with them?

If you made it this far, lucky you! Please enjoy more photos of our prizes below.
