Lakehead University in Orillia has phased out the sale of bottled water on campus.
As the winter semester starts, single-use bottled water will no longer be available in the cafeteria, kiosk or vending machines on campus.
Students are also being encouraged to refrain from bringing single-use, disposable bottles on campus and to switch to reusable bottles.
The ban comes after a request from Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU) that raised awareness of the environmental, economic and social impacts of bottled water.
