Be a part of a rapidly growing organization focused on one of the most pressing challenges in Canada: clean water in Indigenous communities. From both an environmental water and drinking water standpoint, Water First partners with Indigenous communities to solve local water challenges through education, training and meaningful collaboration.
At Water First, our teams include people just like you — dynamic, innovative, empowered, passionate and committed to creating real change.
Water First acknowledges that our office lies within the traditional territory of the Petun and the Anishnaabeg, which consist of the Odawa, Ojibwe, and the Pottawatomi nations. The region in which we live and work has been a site of human activity for approximately 15,000 years, with Indigenous peoples being the sole inhabitants until as recently as 500 years ago. Water First is located on the territory covered by Lake Simcoe-Nottawasaga Treaty No. 18, of 1818.
Today, this area is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work with the community in this territory.
