Wolseley Canada is donating $10,000 to Water First to further Indigenous education and trades training focused on addressing water challenges.
The donation invests in technical skills training for Indigenous communities across Canada, a Wolseley Canada release said, and stated “technology alone doesn’t mean clean drinking
water – there needs to be trained individuals with the knowledge and skillset to ensure
sustained access to safe water.”
“At Wolseley, we understand the value of advancing water solutions to protect public
health.In partnering with Water First, we are able to support clean water initiatives and work
towards resolving local water challenges across Canada,” Wolseley Canada vice-president of plumbing and marketing Alex Nahvi said.
“Thank you to Wolseley Canada for this generous donation. Together, with Indigenous community partners, we are providing hands-on programming that helps certify water operators. Safe water needs skilled people to ensure safe, clean, water for generations to come,” Water First founder and executive director John Millar said.
Wolseley Canada is based in Burlington, ON and is involved in wholesale distribution of plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, waterworks, fire protection, pipes, valves and fittings and industrial products.
