Ever had a drink of dinosaur water? Well, this winter you'll be
able to get your thirst for knowledge and dinosaur water
quenched with the arrival of a travelling exhibit at the Bruce
County Museum & Cultural Centre in Southampton, Ontario, called,
We All Live Downstream: The Story of Canada's Water. Port
Elgin’s Meridian Credit Union sponsors this exhibit.

The dinosaur water is part of the exhibit, which
illustrates that the water consumed today has been around for billions
of years and shared through the water cycle by plants, animals and
humans.
In addition to the We All Live Downstream exhibit, Saugeen
Conservation has offered a portion of their popular exhibit The
Watershed Adventure, to be on display along side the We All Live
Downstream travelling exhibit
being featured in the Museum’s Ontario Power Generation Feature Gallery.
The Watershed Adventure was a hit last fall at the 2008 IPM. This is
also a ‘hands-on exhibit’ where visitors can take a journey through a
simulated model of the human body and find out how water is used in our
bodies, as well as the function of water in our day-to-day lives and
learn about the value of clean water to our environment and to
ourselves. This exhibit was created by and is on displayed courtesy of
the Saugeen Conservation, Grey-Sauble Conservation and Maitland
Conservation.
The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre is located at 33 Victoria
Street N., Southampton
