TAG worked extensively, in close contact with Ontario First Nations Technical Services Corporation on a plan for creating a First Nations Led Approach (FNLA) to ending boil water advisories in Ontario and establishing sustainability in First Nations water. For this strategic initiative, data from a number of sources was taken in and a plan formulated, with events being run after the creation of the plan to solidify support. This included turning the data and strategic plan into a package for delivering the information to all OFNTSC constituents to inform them of the need and the plan.

CHIEFS’ WATER CRISIS SUMMIT

In addition to the plan and information delivery, TAG planned and coordinated 2 separate events for the Chief’s Water Crisis Summit. The first event was held in Niagara Falls in October of 2016 and the second was held in Toronto in March of 2017. Both of these events were integral in delivery of the prepared strategic initiative, and TAG was there every step of the way. TAG delivered all of the pre-event and onsite logistics, as well as registration and speaker and dignitary coordination. The result of the planning and subsequent events was a declaration passed by all Chiefs in attendance to move forward with the creation of the FNLA.
