Safe Drinking Water Monitoring Program Charlene Campbell-Wood

Health Canada Guidance for Safe Drinking Water in Canada: From Intake to Tap

Preface

This guidance document focuses on a multi-barrier approach as the most effective way to ensure Canada's drinking water supplies are clean, safe and reliable. It addresses water quality issues from intake to tap, including treatment, verification of drinking water quality, operation and maintenance of storage and distribution systems, and public awareness. The approach recognizes that while individual barriers may be inadequate in effectively removing or preventing contamination, and therefore in protecting public health, together they provide greater assurance that the water will be safe to drink over the long term. The guidance is designed specifically for the water industry (public and private), including managers and practitioners responsible for ensuring safe drinking water.

Hello colleagues,

UBC Botanical Garden is now offering free access to all Indigenous Peoples. This includes access to the Botanical Garden, Nitobe Memorial Garden and the TreeWalk in partnership with Greenheart. MOA also offers free access and provided us guidance and support in this.

Our front-line staff have been trained to offer free access to all people who self-identify as Indigenous and the access is listed on our website on our Admissions page here under Reciprocal Agreements and Affiliations. http://botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/visitiadmission/

Now we will begin the process of informing the public through our communications. Please also consider sharing this information with your family, friends and contacts.
