Turtle Island Aqua quenching Maritimers’ thirst for locally bottled water – CTV
A First Nation-owned spring water company in Esgenoopetitj First Nation is botting its product straight from a local spring.
“There’s three of us,” said Chkwabun Sappier, vice president of Turtle Island Aqua. “Me and Rocky are from Neqotkuk, which is Tobique First Nation, and my husband is from Esgenoopetitj, which is in Burnt Church and we are an Aboriginal-owned business.”
The water comes from, and is bottled in, rural New Brunswick.
“It comes from a spring source in northeastern New Brunswick, Caraquet – Village Blanchard,” Sappier said. “The spring water itself has won international tasting awards.”
