First Nations communities in Alberta gathered this week at the Drinking Water Gathering Conference, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Calgary North on October 7-8, 2025.
This gathering, hosted by the Îethka Nakoda Nations, brought together First Nations leaders, Elders, health professionals, and water system managers to share experiences and strategies for improving drinking water systems in our communities.
Here are some highlight taken from day tow (October 8) of this insightful event featuring Paul Belanger from Keepers of the Water and a panel of Elders – Vera Potts (Piikani), Alice Kaquitts (Goodstoney) and Wayne Moonias (Louis Bull).
