To support this goal, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) provides funding and advice to First Nations to assist in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater systems. In 2006, the Government of Canada introduced a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the risks related to water quality in First Nations communities. Working with First Nations, three priority areas for action have been identified: 1) Enhanced capacity building and training; 2) Enforceable standards and protocols; and 3) Infrastructure investments: improving technologies and partnerships to ensure the best use of investments in infrastructure. This report is a follow up to AANDC’s Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Investment Report: April 2006 – March 2010, which detailed investments and highlighted progress made between April 1, 2006, and March 31, 2010. This update outlines activities undertaken between April 1, 2010, and March 31, 2012, in each of the three priority areas. It reviews the initiatives that the department supported to strengthen capacity and enhance standards and protocols. In addition, it summarizes AANDC capital investments for water and wastewater infrastructure, including funding for the operation and maintenance of systems. Lastly, it highlights the outcomes of recent inspections of water and wastewater systems, and charts the path forward for AANDC’s support to First Nations. Background n reserve lands, First Nations are owners of their water and wastewater systems O and are responsible for their daily operation and management. AANDC provides funding and advice to assist in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of these facilities. The department also provides funding for the training and certification of system operators, Circuit Rider Trainers to support operators, and capacity building activities for communities to manage systems effectively. Departmental funding is allocated through annual investments under the department’s Capital Facilities and Maintenance Program (CFMP), as well as targeted funding through Canada's Economic Action Plan (CEAP) and the First Nations Water and Wastewater Action Plan (FNWWAP). FNWWAP, introduced in 2008, is a joint AANDC- Health Canada initiative that supports First Nations communities in bringing their Water and Wastewater Report | 1 drinking water and wastewater services to a level comparable to those enjoyed by other Canadians living in communities of similar size and location. In May 2010, the Government of Canada announced that FNWWAP was extended for two more years, and it was recently renewed for an additional two years in Budget 2012. Between 2006 and 2014, the Government of Canada will have invested approximately $3 billion in water and wastewater in First Nations communities. In addition to AANDC funding, First Nations invest in water and wastewater systems and activities through own source revenues and various other government sources at the local, provincial and federal level. Since the publication of the last report, AANDC completed the National Assessment of First Nations Waster and Wastewater Systems (National Assessment) in July 2011, a comprehensive assessment of the state of water and wastewater systems on reserve. In response to the findings of the assessment, the Government of Canada worked with First Nations to identify concrete actions in the areas of capacity building and training, enforceable standards and protocols, and infrastructure investments. In 2011-12, AANDC completed annual inspections through the department’s Annual Performance Inspections (API) process, which assessed federally funded water and wastewater systems in order to determine their risk levels and progress since the National Assessment. See Annex C for the results of the 2011-2012 performance inspections. 2010-2012 Highlights Enhanced Capacity Building and Training boriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada Mack Seymour, a Waterkeeper A provides funding to First Nations to help communities from the Chemainus First build the capacity to manage and maintain facilities. Nation, shares his perspective on a new video-based training tool: Capacity funding is primarily provided through the Circuit Rider Training Program (CRTP). The CRTP coordinates “As far as my experience, the qualified experts to rotate through a circuit of First video is a good Waterkeeper’s tool because it explains. If any of Nations communities, providing First Nations operators the community wants to know with ongoing, on-site training and mentoring on how to how the water system runs, operate and maintain their drinking water and wastewater where it comes from, how it’s filtered out, everything it does-- systems. The program is offered to all First Nation it’s a good tool for people out in communities across Canada through a variety of partners the community to have a brief and service providers, including private companies, tribal understanding of how their water system works.” councils, and First Nation technical organizations. Circuit Rider Trainers provide additional support via 24-hour hotlines, which operators can rely on for advice during normal operations and any emergencies that may arise. Water and Wastewater Report | 2010-2012 Highlights 2 The CRTP initiative also supports the development of training programs, templates, guides, and tools to assist First Nations with the operation and maintenance of their facilities. Each year, AANDC provides approximately $10 million for Circuit Rider Trainers to ensure CRTP services are available to all First Nations communities. Highlights of 2010-2012: New Circuit Rider Trainer Program guidelines were developed to help standardize the program and to support operators in improving the management of operation and maintenance (O&M) of their systems. The 2009-11 National Assessment concluded that 51 per cent of water systems and 42 per cent of wastewater systems were managed by operators certified to the level of the system that they operated. By 2011-12, API results indicated that 60.1 per cent of water treatment systems and 53.9 per cent of wastewater systems were managed by operators certified to the level of the system. As part of continuing efforts to improve maintenance on water and wastewater systems, AANDC regional offices shared a tool with First Nations to help them develop Maintenance Management Plans (MMPs). As of 2011-12, inspections showed that 51 per cent of water systems and 34 percent of wastewater systems had MMPs, up from 28 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively, from the National Assessment. Enforceable Standards and Protocols he department has established a suite of water and wastewater protocols to help Tensure that on-reserve residents enjoy standards of health and safety comparable to neighboring off-reserve residents. They set out standards for design, construction, operation, maintenance, and monitoring of water and wastewater systems on reserve: Protocol for Centralised Drinking Water Systems in First Nations Communities; Protocol for Centralised Wastewater Systems in First Nations Communities; and Protocol for Decentralised Water and Wastewater Systems in First Nations Communities. While these three protocols outline requirements for the operation of First Nations

  • An Indian Chief, an English Tourist, a Doctor, a Reverend, and a Member of Ppparliament: the Journeys of Pasqua’S’S’S Pictographs and the Meaning of Treaty Four
    The Journeys of Pasqua’s Pictographs 109 AN INDIAN CHIEF, AN ENGLISH TOURIST, A DOCTOR, A REVEREND, AND A MEMBER OF PPPARLIAMENT: THE JOURNEYS OF PASQUA’S’S’S PICTOGRAPHS AND THE MEANING OF TREATY FOUR Bob Beal 7204 76 Street Edmonton, Alberta Canada, T6C 2J5 [email protected] Abstract / Résumé Indian treaties of western Canada are contentious among historians, First Nations, governments, and courts. The contemporary written docu- mentation about them has come from one side of the treaty process. Historians add information from such disciplines as First Nations Tradi- tional Knowledge and Oral History to draw as complete a picture as possible. Now, we have an additional source of written contemporary information, Chief Pasqua’s recently rediscovered pictographs showing the nature of Treaty Four and its initial implementation. Pasqua’s ac- count, as contextualized here, adds significantly to our knowledge of the western numbered treaty process. The pictographs give voice to Chief Pasqua’s knowledge. Les traités conclus avec les Indiens de l’Ouest canadien demeurent liti- gieux pour les historiens, les Premières nations, les gouvernements et les tribunaux. Les documents contemporains qui discutent des traités ne proviennent que d’une seule vision du processus des traités. Les historiens ajoutent des renseignements provenant de disciplines telles que les connaissances traditionnelles et l’histoire orale des Autochto- nes. Ils bénéficient désormais d’une nouvelle source écrite contempo- raine, les pictogrammes récemment redécouverts du chef Pasqua, qui illustrent la nature du Traité n° 4 et les débuts de son application. Le compte rendu du chef, tel que replacé dans son contexte, est un ajout important à notre connaissance du processus des traités numérotés dans l’Ouest canadien.
