This short documentary follows Kelsey Roy, a Water First Environmental Water Internship graduate, as she shares her experience in the program and how it shaped her skills, confidence, and connection to her community. Kelsey describes what water means to her, why this work inspires her, and the hopes she carries for the future health of the water in her community.
Produced in partnership with Untold Storytelling, the film offers an engaging and heartfelt look at Kelsey’s journey and vision.
Drinking water advisory statistics are for federally maintained systems on First Nations reserve lands only. These numbers do not include private systems or systems in Inuit communities.
Drinking water advisories include short-term (under 1 year) and long-term (more than 1 year) boil water advisories, do not consume advisories, and do not use advisories for First Nation communities in Canada.
Calculating the number of drinking water advisories is a complex process. Water First relies on information from several different sources.
