Aiden first participated in our programming in his home community of Beausoleil First Nation in 2019, and since then has continued to participate each summer and returned again in 2023 as a teaching assistant.
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.
