Healthy hydration habits, starts early!

Healthy water drinking habits can be acquired in a very early childhood. At the age of six months, we can give small amounts of water to babies.

The Mr. FunWater Challenge

Every year, on the third week of March, we celebrate water on the occasion of Canada Water Week and World Water Day.

In addition to highlighting the importance of this precious resource, the Mr.FunWater Challenge aims to promote water as the best drink to stay hydrated, while having fun.
