The City of Ottawa, which has been trying to get more people to drink tap water over the past 10 years, has targeted pub tables as a medium for its message ahead of the deluge of Canada Day revellers.
Public works and environmental services paid $3,000 to produce 35,000 cardboard coasters, which have been distributed to a dozen pubs and restaurants on Elgin Street in the lead-up to the celebrations.
Leslie Vanclief, the department’s section manager of stakeholder relations, said the coasters promote Ottawa’s tap water as a “safe, healthy and affordable option.”
