Zhiibaahaasing First Nation breaks ground on water treatment plant – Link2Build
February 13, 2025
An Ontario First Nation is pressing ahead with construction of much-needed water infrastructure, thanks in part to an investment from the federal government.
Last month, Zhiibaahaasing First Nation and Indigenous Services Canada kicked off construction of the community’s new water treatment plant and major upgrades to its water distribution system. The nation, which is located on Manitoulin Island, has lived under water advisories for more than 30 years.
The new water treatment plant and expanded distribution system will support reliable access to drinking water throughout the community. The upgrades are part of the broader commitment by Zhiibaahaasing First Nation to invest in the health and well-being of its people by supporting access to safe water for years to come.
