Part 2 "In a new series, @CityNewsTO will be talking to @SixNationsGR community leaders, residents and water keeper @AutumnPeltier1 about efforts to get every resident access to clean water and why this issue is proving so hard to solve, Canada-wide." toronto.citynews.ca/2022/08/…

High cost of water plant connection blocking Indigenous residents from accessing clean water

A major barrier to having every Six Nations of Grand River resident connected to the water treatment plant is the cost of the pipe network needed.

Hello teachers! We hope you've all been able to rest and relax this summer. Or climb mountains, dance all night and sleep until noon every day :) Starting to think about curriculum for your classes? Facilitated screenings of The Water Walker are available, DM for details!

This map was painted by students of Grassy Narrows and shows the river system up here in Northern Ontario. @laylastaats points to where our team was located. When Mercury enters one of the water systems it impacts the entire territory.

The only way we're going to get things done @JustinTrudeau, is by facing the WHOLE truth. Of these lifted advisories, how many long term solutions were implemented? Much of what we've seen in the past were mere bandaids. WE WANT REAL CHANGE. #truth #waterislife #watercrisis

"If you are anywhere else in Canada and you turn on the tap, then you are protected by safe drinking water regulations, if you live on reserve, no such regulations exist. There are no safe drinking water protections." - Amanda Klasing theguardian.com/world/2021/a….
