The Haudenosaunee…

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking the water. By requesting the permit and making plans to continue the water grab, BlueTriton is ignoring Indigenous sovereignty. Just like Nestlé did.

So while dozens of First Nations communities across Canada have not had access to safe drinking water for at least a year, BlueTriton is pumping clean water from Indigenous lands and bottling it for profit.

BlueTriton is betting that the increasing scarcity of clean water will make its investors money. Clean water is a human right. Locking in long term contracts obligating the removal of water from sensitive urban and farming communities will be catastrophic if continued climate changes bring more droughts to our region.

Safeguarding Water for all the Alice that relies on it in this province is the civic duty of your ministry, water is not for profit.
