Water…it gives us life, it symbolizes summer, it has spiritual meaning, it calms us, it’s what defines our community. Kelli Saunders, the Foundation's International Watershed Coordinator has a weekly column in the the Lake of the Woods Enterprise newspaper and online at the Kenora Daily Miner News.
