Template for Change

Template for Change is a program that resulted from the Action Plans in the final lesson plan of Operation Water Drop. As students' made their community Action Plan as part of the closing to the school program, parents and community members became aware of the students perspectives on drinking water and requested that the action plan become a blueprint for implementation and not end in the classroom. With this goal in mind Template for Change was developed, with financial support from Alberta Ecotrust.

At the same time as communities were requesting a need for guidance, the Yellow Quill people were greatly appreciative of the help they received from the SDWF and they wanted to "give back", or to help other communities. In spring of 2004, Saddle Lake First Nation in Alberta were also helped by scientists from the SDWF and they too wanted to help other communities with similar challenges.

The fall of 2004 SDWF developed Template for Change, a blueprint to guide/lead communities through the challenges and obstacles that restrict the quality of water for their citizens. Dr. Hans Peterson is also volunteering one hour of his time to be available for phone in to all communities participating in Template for Change, he will give specific scientific advice to that community and answer any questions citizens may like to ask.

It is recommended that students organize local "Water Awareness" workshops, or information sessions, for anyone interested in attending from their own community and from neighbouring communities. Template for Change includes an introductory presentation from Dr. Hans, with recorded presentations on DVD from the people of Yellow Quill First Nation, Saddle Lake First Nation and Six Nations, as well as many other prominent speakers such as David Suzuki! Template for Change is a total of 12 DVDs with over 16 hours of recorded presentations that include all speaker presentations from the SDWF International Conference "The Future of Water Treatment".
