About Water-on-Wheels

Water-on-Wheels (WOW) is an Ontario-based company that provides mobile water refill stations to indoor and outdoor special events across Canada. WOW water stations that connect to existing water sources allowing event patrons access to free drinking water to refill re-usable water bottles onsite at special events. Offering a sustainable alternative to commercially packaged bottled water WOW decreases an event's environmental impact by allowing guests to gain access to water from an existing municipal water source (fire hydrants, hose bibs). Now finishing its second season, WOW is a turn-key staffed service that provides the stations, all necessary water source connections, hoses, and signage necessary to keep people hydrated.

Full coverage of Rebecca and the other winners will appear in the December/January 2012 issue of PROFIT: Your Guide to Business Success magazine.

Congratulations to Rebecca and the rest of the 2012 FuEL Awards winners!

I am nominated for a FuEL Award!

I am very pleased to announce my nomination for a FuEL Award as part of the Canadian Future Entrepreneurial Leaders Youth Business Foundation awards program. The FuEL Awards were created to promote entrepreneurship in Canada by identifying forward-thinking role models for youth and illustrating the many benefits of venturing out on one's own.

As you know, I started my business Water-on-Wheels back in 2010 to provide mobile water refill stations to special events across Canada. I am very proud to share that the business has experienced tremendous success and growth over the past two seasons. In April 2012 WOW won the City of Toronto’s Green Award for Water Efficiency.
