DRINKING ADVISORIES
You will see from following links the number of Drinking Water Advisories in First Nation communities. It is important to learn the difference between Drinking Water Advisories (DWA), Boil Water Advisories (BWA), and/or Do Not Consume (DNC) etc. It is also important to realize this is not just an Indigenous issue. I suggest you view links in this order. There are hundreds of Drinking Water Advisories, some in all provinces, actually over 1100 nationally as of February 2025! This means that while there are 65 DWA's in Indigenous communities, there are over a thousand in non-indigenous rural communities.
