Please Note: Due to COVID-19 we are currently working to get 1 station into the schools that do not have a station. Once this work is completed we will provide an update on the status of this program.

Plastic water bottles are expensive, can deplete water sources in local communities, take a lot of energy to create and transport, and last in landfills for over four hundred years. Toronto tap water on the other hand is affordable, local, low-waste, and tasty!
To support schools in curbing plastic water bottle consumption, EcoSchools created a reusable water bottle refill program called Project Refill. By providing select schools with water bottle refill stations, this project will help schools move from landfill to refill.
