World Water Day 2026

March 22 is World Water Day Access to safe and reliable drinking water and wastewater services is a fundamental human right, recognized under international law. These services are essential for maintaining health, dignity and overall well-being, and are the cornerstones of thriving, healthy communities. However, many Indigenous communities face persistent and unacceptable barriers to accessing clean drinking water and adequate wastewater services. This disparity represents a clear violation of human rights and contributes to significant health and social inequities. CUPE Nova Scotia stands in unwavering solidarity with Indigenous communities across the country who continue to face water injustice. We are also firmly committed to fighting water privatization that puts profits before people, often leading to higher water rates, reduced water quality and decreased access for vulnerable populations.
