United Nations Special Rapporteur Visits Northern #Alberta

TREATY 6 (EDMONTON)—Representatives from Treaty 8, Treaty 6, and Keepers of the #Water will meet the #UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, during his visit to Canada. Arrojo-Agudo is visiting April 8 - 19 to discuss safe drinking water and sanitation. Alberta is facing a drought in 2024, and the extraction industry still has the right to much of the water that is left.

“Keepers of the Water will attend this meeting to share the serious concerns related to Water, such as the proposal to dump the toxic tailings into the Athabasca River and other industrial contamination concerns, as well as the immense water use by Industry and how that will impact this entire society as we are in a drought.”

Jesse Cardinal, Executive Director, Keepers of the Water

"The biggest enemy is tap water . . . We're not against water-- it just has its place. We think it's good for irrigation and cooking."

Fellas, I'm considering quitting both tea and soda.

I'll only allow myself #water and #seltzer.

Just thinking about it sounds nearly impossible...
