The goal of the T.A. Health Program's Water Monitoring Program is to protect and enhance public health and safety, and the quality of life for all persons by ensuring the public drinking water is safe to drink.
Objective:
The objective of the T.A. Health Program is to administer the Water Monitoring Program on the Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve under delegation of authority from the Chief and Council.
