In a country with the capacity to ensure safe water for all, persistent water insecurity in Indigenous communities represents a preventable policy failure — one that’s reflected in health issues.
Despite a decade of commitments, audits and Calls to Action, the federal government has failed to deliver meaningful and measurable improvements in First Nations health services.
When Indigenous communities shape how health professionals are trained, it’s a path toward trust, equity and a health system that finally reflects the people it serves.
