9 million people rely on Lake Ontario for their drinking water, including the 6.4 million people in the Greater Toronto Area.
In this episode of the Swim Drink Fish video series presented by Ace Hill, Krystyn Tully and Mark Mattson, co-founders of Swim Drink Fish, are joined by Blake Anderson, co-founder of Ace Hill Beer. The importance of clean drinking water and Ontario's dependence on Lake Ontario is discussed.
