March is most widely recognized for three events – March Break for students, the official start of spring for everyone else, and the recently passed St. Patrick’s Day.  But one other day is unrecognized by many people every year, and that day is March 11, also known as World Plumbing Day.  According to Canada’s favourite handyman, Mike Holmes, World Plumbing Day acknowledges the tradespeople who ensure homes have clean pipes.
