On July 12 – 14, 2016, A.U.G. Signals Ltd. (AUG) with its partner Keewaytinook Okimakanak First Nations (KO) presented Safe Water Project at the Assembly of First Nations’ 37th Annual General Assembly. Together working as a team, KO and AUG demonstrated how the Safe Water Project works with its three components, training & certification, operation support and water quality monitoring technology (TRITON Intelligent Water Surveillance) to accomplish prevention of boil water advisories in remote, small communities in Northern Ontario. The team interacted with the leaders, students and the family of the communities along with the Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs as shown below.
On May 18-19, A.U.G. Signals Ltd. (AUG), together with its Safe Water Project partner, Keewaytinook Okimakanak (KO) First Nations, participated in the Research & Solutions Poster Showcase session at 2016 Blue Cities organized by Canadian Water Network in Toronto.
This was a great opportunity to demonstrate how the Safe Water Project offers a powerful practice to end drinking water advisories in remote communities, while empowering the local resources. Since it was launched in May 2015, Safe Water Project has ended three long-term boil water advisories, prevented and minimized numerous boil water advisories and trained community members to various levels of certification.
AUG is very proud to support the Safe Water Project in cooperation with KO, helping First Nations communities to enable safe drinking water for everyone.
