A conference about drinking water was held at the Howard Buffalo Memorial Centre in Maskwacis on April 20th to talk about how water makes its way into the community, the surrounding four nations, and the treatment process behind it all.
Mario Swampy, Samson Cree Nation Councilor and Nipiy Chairman, spoke with CFWE Radio about the conference he was speaking at and what it was concerning.

At the conference, Swampy talked about the future of water in Maskwacis and the surrounding areas. He also talks about how the idea of new water pipelines in the area isn’t as simple to put in as it may seem.
