Despite being a first world nation with many resources, Canada is facing problems with water borne illness in remote regions/Indigenous reserves due to lack of water testing, inadequate water testing methods and failure to alert the public when water is unsafe to drink or use for recreation.

For a sustainable solution, we must close gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada to address the lack of access to clean water in First Nation communities. We must invest to build and repair water and wastewater infrastructure and support effective maintenance of water systems on the reserves.
