Our water tasting at the Farmer’s Market this morning went really well! It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and we met lots of nice people (including local media) and friendly dogs. It didn’t take long to collect 100 ballots from tasters of all ages.
Many thanks to all those who lent their time and taste buds to this experiment. If you’re curious to know what you picked as your favourite beverage, here’s the breakdown (omitting brand names):
A = bottled water B = bottled water C = Port Alberni tap water D = bottled water
We’ll be publishing the results after we tabulate the votes, so stay tuned. In the meantime, if you haven’t seen our website before — welcome! Please take a look around at the events, discussions and resources posted here. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, June 20, and all are welcome. Look for us at the Canada Day Parade, too, when we’ll be handing out goodies for the garden!
