Paper Title
SUSTAINABLE WATER EVENT MANAGEMENT

Abstract
This paper presents the successes and challenges in the TICCIH case (The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage). After researching on the subject, we found out Sustainable Water is so important while organizing an event that all our decision are made in line with our concerns to protect our environment. Having become a major issue in terms of health and the environment, the single-use water bottle has caused a lot of discussion and has been in the dock for several years. From a social responsibility perspective, several senior leaders in the public and private sectors are concerned about this issue. In 2009, the University of Winnipeg was the first Canadian university to ban disposable water bottles¹. A year later, in 2010, Bishop University became the first university in Quebec to do the same². Since that time, several Canadian universities have taken concrete actions to raise awareness among their customers about this scourge. Forced to note that the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQÀM) is falling behind at this level compared to its peers, we see this as an opportunity to stand out with a vision and a solid strategic plan and thus strengthen the leadership of the institution in terms of health and sustainable development. Quebecers are the biggest drinkers of bottled water in Canada!!³ In Canada, 30% of water bottles contain water from a municipal distribution network¹. In 2011, PepsiCo paid $0.22 up to 100,000m³ to the city of Montreal². In Quebec, 57% of bottles consumed at home only reached a sorting center¹. Bottled water costs 300 to 5000 times more than a liter of tap water¹. Water that comes from a municipal network travels on average 10 KM unlike Evian brand water which travels 5,147 KM from France to Canada The belief that the water that comes out of our taps is of poor quality is an important factor that influences the individual to consume bottled water. According to the Polaris Institute, only 6% of Canada's bottling plants were tested in 2010 (16 out of 282 plants). 27 out of 49 bottled water products have been recalled by the Canadian Food Agency since 2000. Concentrations of contaminants such as arsenic, bromide, bacteria and lead have been found in bottled water samples¹. A German study mentioned in the May 2006 issue of Environment Magazine claims that bottled water contains 95 to 165 times more antimony, a toxic substance, because of the plastic in the bottles (PET). A Finnish study mentioned in issue 38 of the journal Water Research reveals that copper piping used in municipal distribution networks and in homes has an antibacterial effect, helping to limit the growth and proliferation of bacteria in water. The aim of the project is to promote the development of the social responsibility of individuals and companies in the face of the various issues concerning the sale and consumption of single-use water bottles. Our mandate is to promote and implement responsible business practices in order to change consumption habits. We will present you the successes and challenges in the TICCIH case (The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage).
