7th Annual Water Symposium and Trade Show: Bridging the Gap: First Nations Water and Wastewater Equity
Building upon the dialogue from the 6th Annual Water Symposium, “Securing Safe Water for All First Nations,” the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is hosting an in-person Water Symposium and Trade Show focused on addressing important water-related issues facing First Nations. Access to safe, clean water and sanitation is more important than ever given the uncertainty facing First Nations with respect to water and wastewater. Legislation, questions around sustainable funding, long-term transfer of care and control, and the implications of a new national water agency continue to be important issues to First Nations. In comparison to most Canadians, access to water and sanitation is a human right that too many First Nations still don’t have. The AFN’s 7th Annual Water Symposium’s theme is Bridging the Gap: First Nations Water and Wastewater Equity.
Assembly of First Nations, National Operators Forum
The AFN is hosting a one-day National Operators Forum, specifically for Water Operators and Water Operator in Training. This will be held on April 15, 2024, prior to the start of the Water Symposium. The National Operators Forum on April 15, 2024, is taking place at the same venue, and will include an important discussion on key topics of interest to First Nations Water and Wastewater Operators. Topics will include: funding and financing; issues and challenges in water and wastewater management; and, a national water and wastewater association. When you sign up to attend the National Operators Forum and stay for the 7th Annual Water Symposium your symposium registration fee will be waived. Note that your registration for the Symposium is complimentary only when signing up also for the April 15th National Operators Forum. See the check box on the online registration page or on the registration form to sign up for this one-day event specifically for you.
