Water Regulations: Impact on First Nations Health Equity and Promotion
EF 2010-11
Résumé
The provision of safe drinking water is a key driver of public health and is one of the most pressing health issues facing First Nations communities in Canada. On May 26,2010, the Federal Government introduced Bill S-11, also known as the Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act. While legislation to provide for regulations to govern drinking water and waste water treatment in First Nations communities appears to be a step forward, imposing regulations without providing adequate training and resources to meet regulatory requirements places at risk the safety of drinking water, the promotion of health, and health equity in First Nations communities. This project will develop baseline information on important issues related to drinking water access and safety in First Nations communities. These baseline data will be used to provide essential information to guide the development of First Nations water regulation, to evaluate the potential effectiveness and the need for implementation of Bill S-11, and ultimately the promotion of health equity for members of First Nations communities.
