First Nations, Canada
The Circuit Rider Training Program is a long-term capacity building program that provides training and mentoring services to operators of First Nations drinking water systems and wastewater systems. Qualified experts rotate through a circuit of First Nation communities, training the people responsible for operating, monitoring and maintaining drinking water and wastewater systems. These experts assist First Nation operators in obtaining and maintaining their certification and may also provide advice to chiefs and councils on how to develop and maintain their own safe water systems.
Eligibility
Any First Nations band that operates a community drinking water system or wastewater system is automatically enrolled in this program. Any band can choose not to participate by informing their nearest Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada regional office.
