Thousands of Manitoba residents an hour’s flight from Winnipeg have no running water in their homes, putting them at increased risk for a host of health problems usually associated with the world’s poorest countries.
While Winnipeggers enjoy the improved taste of abundant tap water from a brand-new treatment plant and soak in hot baths to take away winter’s chill, half of Island Lake’s 10,000 residents live in homes with no taps or bathrooms.
Free Press assistant city editor Helen Fallding and photojournalist Joe Bryksa visited six First Nations over the course of seven months to record the stories of Manitobans struggling with poor water and sewage services.
