January 24, 2014 – Six Nations of the Grand River, ON Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada
On behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt, the Member of Parliament for Brant, Phil McColeman, today congratulated Six Nations of the Grand River on the opening of its new water treatment plant.
MP McColeman described the project as one that would bring “lasting economic benefits” to the community. The new water treatment plant will provide safe drinking water to existing and future users and can support up to 7,370 users.
This cost-shared initiative encouraged the involvement of the community in all aspects of the project and will provide the resources for long-term sustainability of the community and the families that live there.
