First Nation Access To Water and Sanitation (In Canada)

Force Provincial and Federal governments to take action and address the water quality issues in First Nation Communities... 

Provide geo-tagged text tweets to government accounts forcing the issue to light... 

"There are 231 drinking water advisories (DWAs) in 105 of 630 First Nations communities, many communities have multiple DWAs and some have been under these advisories for more than 5 years. 80% have been in place for more than one year, an occurrence that would simply not take place in other communities. In addition, he recounted that there were only 65 DWAs in 2006, but there are 124 today – a massive increase. Despite the problems with retaining qualified water operators, only 5% of the DWAs are caused by staffing or training issues, which demonstrates, he says, the diligence of the plant employees." Irving Leblanc is an engineer who works as the Acting Director of the Assembly of First Nations Housing and Infrastructure Directorate as well as its Water Specialist.

Hopefully we can integrate the data from http://www.water.ca/map-graphic.asp

with this list

so that anytime a person in one of these communities has to boil water for a simple task they send a messsage that is geotagged and tweets at the appropriate government representatives...

Cheers!
