| Summary: | Many First Nations across Canada face challenges in ensuring the drinking water they have from the land and in their communities is safe to drink. In northern Alberta, there are many factors that can impact the level of water quality due to the extensive extractive industries, such as oil and gas and pulp mills, that occur within the region. A research team was sent out to find out what are the perspectives of Dene Tha’ First Nation? Do people feel the water they drink in their homes is safe? How concerned are people about the water they drink from the land (lakes, rivers, streams)? |
