B.C. First Nation reports water problems as Ottawa wonders- RCI

August 16, 2019

Problems with their water have long plagued people living in First Nations communities across Canada.

A CBC News investigation in 2015 found that 400 out of 618 First Nations in the country had some kind of water problem between 2004 and 2014.

Of course, the problems go back long before that and continue to this day.

The federal government has committed to removing all long-term drinking water advisories on reserves by 2021.
