Water Strategy
Water is a basic human right and critical to the lives of all people. However, basic water and sanitation needs in First Nation communities continue to go unmet. As of April 2015 there were 139 Drinking Water Advisories in effect in 94 First Nations across Canada, excluding British Columbia (Health Canada, 2015). Freshwater ecosystems and the communities they support are increasingly vulnerable. Our water strategy focuses on ensuring healthy freshwater ecosystems and safe drinking water for all First nations and, critically, empowering First Nations people to lead each step of the way.
