Hello everyone, my name is Or Denemark and this is my Watermark.

Last October, I went on my first kayaking trip. I decided to explore the Rideau Canal. It's a place that combines the beauty of a natural body of water with the history of the people living around it.

During that trip, I drank and cooked with the water from the river, which made me think, "What are we putting into our natural waterways?"

It's experiences like this that have honed with water and I hope to have many more.
