In celebration of World Plumbing Day Wolseley Canada is thrilled to donate $10,000 to Water First, an organization dedicated to working collaboratively with Indigenous Communities in Canada to address water challenges through education and training.

With this donation, Wolseley Canada aims to bring awareness to their associates, customers, vendors, and partners about the water challenges faced by Indigenous communities.

“At Wolseley, we understand the value of advancing water solutions to protect public health, says Alex Nahvi, vice president, plumbing and marketing, Wolseley Canada. “In partnering with Water First, we are able to support clean water initiatives and work towards resolving local water challenges across Canada.

With this $10,000 donation, Wolseley is investing in technical skills training for Indigenous communities across Canada. 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.

“Thank you to Wolseley Canada for this generous donation,” said John Millar, executive director and founder of Water First. “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.”
