A plan to improve water service in Indigenous communities has dried up, for the time being. City council deleted a motion from its agenda Monday to dedicate 0.2 per cent of its 2022 water and wastewater revenue -- about $100,000 or $1.77 per Barrie household -- toward these improvements. Council is inviting Water First, a Creemore-based non-government organization, to make a presentation to the city’s finance and corporate services committee on its program to train young Indigenous people from reserves to become certified in operating a water plant through a 15-month paid apprenticeship. This is where the $100,000 could have been spent.
