Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada's Circuit Rider Training Program provides First Nation operators with hands-on training on how to operate, service and maintain the water and wastewater systems in their community so that Aboriginal communities have safe access to drinking water.
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.
