Children’s Water Education Council’s 4th Annual Soupfest – Just Add Water

11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Waterloo Region Museum (DOON) is proud to host the Children's Water Education Council's 4^th annual Soupfest in celebration of World Water Day. Local restaurants and culinary schools will be donating pots of their best soups in support of CWEC. What better way to take the chill off a late winter's day than with a bowl of soup or two! Cost of a Soupfest ticket is $10 per person with all proceeds going to the Children's Water Education Council in support of educating people of ages about the importance of water protection and conservation.
