Peterborough Children's Water Festival PCWF

Peterborough Children's Water Festival

The Peterborough Children's Water Festival (PCWF) is a community event that provides students with the opportunity to discover the importance and diversity of water. As a founding member PUG Services Corp. works year round to deliver the Children's Water Festival each May. This water festival has been a successful educational event for 18 years thanks to the support of our community  partners local businesses.

Festival overview

The PCWF works hard to ensure that each student's visit is a memorable part of their education.  The objectives of this interactive event are for students to develop personal awareness of the importance of water and to foster respect for the natural environment.  We hope by increasing awareness and respect participating students and teachers will become water stewards in their classrooms and community.
