Government of Canada working with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte First Nation to improve access to drinking water on reserve

The extension continues the work needed to increase access to clean, treated drinking water in homes and buildings on reserve.
The federal government contributed approximately $27.6 million to this project, in addition to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte First Nation’s contribution of approximately $3.3 million.
The water main extension will expand the distribution of treated drinking water to the Mohawk Community Centre, fire hall, home-support building, the Orange Lodge and four residential homes as part of a multi-phased approach to addressing long-term drinking water advisories in the community.
Indigenous Services Canada is contributing $845,561 towards the cost of the water main extension.
Our government is proud to partner with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte First Nation to expand their water system.
I commend Chief Maracle and Council for their efforts in improving water distribution that will carry many benefits for their community" The Honourable Jane Philpott, M.D., P.C., M.P.
Minister of Indigenous Services "Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte First Nation has had drinking water issues for quite some time, and we are pleased that funding has finally been approved for the extension of the water main.
We are pleased to see the Government’s commitment to eliminating all First Nation drinking water advisories in action in our community."
