Tsal’alhmec, known as People of the Lake, became the first Blue Indigenous Community earlier this year. They adopted a resolution with the three criteria needed to become a Blue Community: recognizing the human right to water, banning bottled water at community facilities and events, and promoting public water services.

Tsal’alh has joined the 15 Blue Communities in Canada and three international Blue Communities, in Switzerland and Brazil, that are taking action to ensure the human right to water is respected.
