Access to clean drinking water begins long before it reaches the tap – it starts with protecting the sources that communities depend on.
During this webinar, we’ll explore the full range of legal tools available to protect drinking water sources in First Nations communities, from provincial and federal frameworks to band council resolutions. A key focus of this session will be the federal drinking water protection legislation introduced last year but never passed. We will look at what that bill would mean for First Nations communities, particularly its provisions around protecting drinking water sources.
Participants will also have an opportunity to share what resources, supports, and next steps their communities need most to protect their local drinking water sources.
Hosted by the Canadian Environmental Law Association and the Chiefs of Ontario, this session will be of interest to all First Nations community members, including water technicians, band council and staff.
