An update on the Indigenous Schools Water Program

Our team recently delivered our 2nd virtual program, this time to Biidaaban Kinoomaagegamik School in Sagamok First Nation.

The What’s In Your Water program was built around a workshop that allows students to go to a local body of water and take measurements of multiple parameters, like pH, hardness, conductivity, and TDS (total dissolved solids).

In the Watershed Mysteries workshop, students take water quality parameters of 5 prepared water samples to determine which hypothetical watershed each sample comes from.

Thank you to Ms. Lefebvre for providing us with the beautiful photos!

Water First has been rated a 5-Star, Top 100 charity by Charity Intelligence (Ci), an organization that conducts assessments of non-profits to promote transparency, accountability and a focus on results in the charitable sector. Ci’s rating is based on financial transparency, results reporting, demonstrated impact, need for funding, and cents to the cause.

Water First acknowledges that our main 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.
