Honouring the Waters: SFNWA Spring Water Ceremony
Did you know that water ceremonies are a vital part of our connection to the land and each other? This spring, SFNWA gathered with Elders, youth, and community members to honour the spirit of water. These ceremonies remind us that water is not just a resource—it’s a relative. We’re proud to support traditions that keep this relationship strong and sacred.
The SFNWA Annual Conference
The SFNWA Annual Conference & AGM is Saskatchewan’s premier gathering for First Nations water professionals, leaders, and partners. This multi-day event features hands-on training, certification updates, a dynamic trade show, and the Annual General Meeting. Evenings celebrate culture through ceremony, entertainment, and awards—highlighting achievements like the Best-Tasting Water Challenge. Join us as we grow community and capacity in First Nations water management.
Dates: September 22-25, 2025
Operator Certification & Training Update
Did you know that WPI’s standardized certification exams are changing? Except for Saskatchewan’s wastewater test, exams are based on the ‘usual’ tasks of a municipal water operator. We all know that water plants on-reserve are not ‘usually’ like a municipality, which is why we are working hard to adapt the new list of tasks to training and exams that reflect the work you do in your communities.
