Detroit River Water Festival

May 24, 2012 from 9am-2pm at the Detroit Riverfront!

The Detroit River Water Festival is a day-long educational event designed to help sixth-grade students learn about our most precious natural resource – clean, fresh water. Students from Detroit and Windsor area will come togther to learn about the Detroit River in this bi-national event.

This FREE program helps students appreciate the importance of water and how it impacts their daily lives. It also provides students with hands-on activities to help them understand water resource-related topics including ecosystems, social studies, the geosphere and the hydrologic cycle. Students will learn the central role water and the Detroit River play in the region’s economy and quality of life.

Classes will rotate through four different outdoor and indoor learning stations along the Detroit Riverfront. Indoor presentations will take place in the GM Learning Center inside the Renaissance Center. Lunch will be provided to students at Rivard Plaza along with educational entertainment from the live music of Joe Reilly.

Think about a boat mishap you have cesuad. It is wise to carry insurance.If you hit someone or have collision your gonna need insurance.Dont let anybody tell you otherwise. I have seen people get sued for everything they own because they didnt have insurance.

"The “rust belt” is not an abstract conpect but a reality ..."Yes, we know, and it's a reality brought about by unionization and progressive policies. "Arguing that one political party is to blame for the economic decline of one city ignores the fact that similar declines have happened in other cities, cities with a more diverse voting record."Name one."Does this mean you honestly believe that if a different political party had been in charge in Detroit over the past 50 years that the city wouldn’t have experienced decline?"Yes. One need only look at New York pre-Giuliani and post-Giuliani to see the positive effect that even one Republican administration can have on a progressive basket case."While it may be comforting to cling to your partisan ideology to explain the world around you, it often times will lead you to ignore any facts that conflict with that ideology."You have not presented a single fact to support your arguments. For starters, try explaining how Republicans helped to screw up Detroit, since they haven't held an elected office there in more than half a century.
