Creemore-based charity Tin Roof Global recently received a significant funding boost from Collingwood-based Blundstone Footwear. Here, Blundstone Canada CEO Ian Heaps (left) poses with Tin Roof president John Millar after committing $40,000 to support Tin Roof’s efforts. Tin Roof will use the money to expand its local and international water initiatives. Locally, its Roof It H2O program takes Canadian elementary and high school students for a tour of global water issues and encourages local student action. Tin Roof’s new GUSH program for elementary schools explores local water issues related to development, quarries and landfills. And at the university level, Tin Roof will continue to expand its campus clubs initiative, which began at the University of Guelph and is currently expanding to Dalhousie University in Halifax, with more campuses across Canada in its sights. In Uganda, Tin Roof will expand its rural water source initiatives.
