At the recent CWRA/CGU conference in Banff there was a special session that focused attention on the factors that have resulted in substandard water supply for Aboriginals in Canada. Following the presentations there was a lively round-table discussion which resulted in the formation of the Aboriginal Water ActionGroup (AWAG). This group of professionals and Aboriginal members plan to work towards a plan to assist the First Nations, Métis and Inuit people to take responsibility for the water in their communities. If you are interested in learning more about this group, please contact Laurra Olmsted at info@uniwatered.org.
