Clean drinking water is a human right. 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.

No more permits for corporate profit on a precious commodity which should be freely available to all Ontarians.
