Lhoosk’uz Dené village taps into clean water after a 20-year wait
July 19, 2021
Today, a remote Lhoosk’uz Dené community is holding a celebration to mark a joyful milestone.
After decades of relying on bottled water, the village of about 50 people, located 200 kilometres west of Quesnel on Kluskus Lake, now has a steady supply of clean drinking water straight out of the tap, thanks to a new water treatment plant crafted to their unique needs.
“We had to do things differently. And now, what was just a dream many years ago is reality,” says Chief Liliane Squinas.
