Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity, so let’s talk about #Benthics !
Benthic sampling examines the organisms found at the bottom of a body of water (called the Benthic zone).
Our Environmental Water Program works with Indigenous communities across Canada on projects that help those communities better understand the health of their lakes and rivers — and examining Benthics is just one way we do that!

"I think everyone should be connected to water, because water plays such an important role in our lives."
Meet Elijah Toulouse, an intern in the Drinking Water Internship Program from Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation! In partnership with Mamaweswen, the North Shore Tribal Council, Elijah and 11 other interns are training to become certified water operators. Hear from Elijah about his passion for water and why he chose to join the internship. 💙💧

Haven't had enough winter just yet? 🧊 With spring starting to blossom, we're reminiscing over the fun we had teaching students about their watersheds out on the ice. Here is a look back on some of the thrilling winter programming the Indigenous Schools Water Program delivered last season to over a dozen schools all over Canada!
The team was in a ton of communities and is excited to work with many more this year! Education doesn't sleep, and neither does water. 💪🤓

Love to see @Ryan Reynolds sporting a Water First toque at @Wrexham AFC ’s exciting, last-second win on Monday, which puts them one step closer to the team's first league promotion in more than a decade. Congratulations, and thank you for the support!

Safe water needs skilled people. People like Keegan.
Keegan is a Technical Trainer and Project Coordinator at Water First. He works primarily with the #Environmental Water Program.
Recently, Keegan visited Park Lake in Labrador to deliver a winter monitoring workshop. Winter workshops like these are important to communities in the north, and not just with respect to water health. Participants explore how winter science can be used to monitor snowmobiling trails for safety, how changing snow conditions can affect caribou migration patterns, or how changing amounts of snow falling can affect the overall temperature of a fishery once the snow and ice melt in the spring.

Every day, people contribute their unique skills, knowledge and passion to providing safe, clean water in their communities. Each person’s contribution is important: testing pH levels and monitoring water quality, studying fish populations in a local lake, learning about water science concepts in school, or sharing Traditional Knowledge about land and water management.
On World Water Day–and every day–we celebrate the Indigenous youth and young adults who are training to become the next generation of water scientists.
Water First programs support participants in developing technical skills to go on to further education or employment in water science fields. They build confidence in themselves and a passion for making positive change in their communities. Our programs also support Indigenous communities in strengthening capacity to manage and protect water resources for generations to come.
Education and training help to build the skills and confidence needed to do all these tasks. Because safe water needs skilled people.

On this World Water Day, March 22, Water First celebrates the Indigenous youth and young adults in water science fields, whether they are training for or have already started their careers.
World Water Day is an opportunity to recognize these amazing individuals for all they do to support access to safe, clean water in their communities. Each one of these future water scientists plays a role in addressing water challenges that too many Indigenous communities continue to face. Whether they’re training to be a water treatment plant operator, learning about water quality monitoring, or just exploring water science concepts in school, these young people are building important skills and supporting their communities.
Isaiah Tabobondung, a water operator from Wasauksing First Nation, is a 2022 graduate of the Drinking Water Internship Program. Safe water needs skilled people – people like Isaiah, who contribute their unique skills, knowledge and passion to provide safe, clean water.

Check out this great video from Water First’s Water Resources Specialist, Ryan Osman (@rosmanphoto), after a trip to Labrador for a winter monitoring workshop. More to come on this project soon!
Changing landscapes ❄️
Great time in the Mealy Mountains focusing on winter science with the guides of Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation and some members of the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach. This winter has been exceptionally warm in Labrador. It raises many questions for the Innu People in regards to their ability to travel and spend time on the land in the winter and how to adapt to the changing climate conditions.
