Target: Environment Minister Peter Kent
Sponsored by: Ecojustice

Unlike most developed nations, Canada has no legally-binding national standards to ensure the safety of our drinking water.

The result? A two-tiered system of drinking water management, where urban centres benefit from better standards, technology and personnel while First Nations and rural communities struggle with poor infrastructure, a patchwork of provincial and municipal laws, and little help from the federal government.

The gap between those with access to clean drinking water and those without continues to persist, even though almost all Canadians believe access to clean water should be enshrined as a basic human right.

For more than 10 years, Ecojustice has led the charge for all Canadians to have access to safe, clean drinking water.

Please join us in asking Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent to ensure that all Canadians can access clean, safe drinking water.
