Thursday morning Danna Henderson woke bright and early to be at the University of Regina for the prime minister’s visit; not to get a selfie — but to bring some attention to water issues.

Henderson, a member of Keepers of the Water a grassroots environmental group, said when she heard of Justin Trudeau’s pending visit she knew she had to be there.

Wednesday night, she quickly organized a Water is Life rally in response to his visit and she’s not sorry.

“Sometimes I want to be quiet, but that’s not me,” said Henderson.

Unsure of who would respond on such short notice, she was surprised that Trudeau was met by not one, but three groups of protesters on his walk through the university.

“I think people need to realize that people like me are not going anywhere,” she said. “We may not be large in numbers but we are still here fighting for a cause.”

Henderson said she is fighting to preserve clean water not just for indigenous people, but for all people.
