The Musqueam people have lived in our present location for thousands of years. Our traditional territory once occupied much of what is now Vancouver and surrounding areas. The name Musqueam relates back to the River Grass, the name of the grass is məθkʷəy̓. There is a story that has been passed on from generation to generation that explains how we became known as the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) - People of the River Grass.
Although a metropolitan city has developed in the heart of Musqueam territory, our community maintains strong cultural and traditional beliefs. Today our population flourishes and we are a strong community of over thousand members. To learn more about Musqueam, please visit www.musqueam.bc.ca

Safe Drinking Water Monitoring Program Charlene Campbell-WoodWater and Your Body Bottled Water Tap water is perfectly safe for most Canadians. Despite this, the bottled water industry generates $2.5 billion in sales, mainly through Nestlé and its brands: Pure Life, Perrier, S. Pellegrino, Acqua Panna or Montclair.
Plastic bottles can take up to 400 years to decompose. Most of those that are not recycled, end up abroad – generating more greenhouse gas. The good news is that over 75% of the plastic bottles sold in British Columbia are returned. That is because British Colombia runs a bottle bill and you will be refunded between ¢5 and ¢20 for each plastic bottle when returning them to the retailer. All ready-to-drink beverages sold in the province are required to be offered for sale in recyclable or refillable containers.
Not only does bottled water have a negative environmental impact, it is interesting to note that it costs more than gasoline per gallon. Moreover, in 25% of cases, bottled water is just filtered municipal water sold at a premium according to the Canadian Bottled Water Association. Pepsi’s Aquafina brand uses filtered municipal tap water from Vancouver.
To reduce your environmental footprint, the best solution is to use reusable bottles and fill them with tap water filtered tap water.
Conclusion
• Drinking water in Vancouver comes from rainfall and snowmelt • Water is safe to drink according to criteria established by the Federal Agency. • Bottled water is considered a food, and is subject to the “Food and Drugs Act.”, which does not define strict criteria. • Chlorine which is added to the water for disinfection can be removed with a carbon-block filter • Lead leaching from old infrastructure in buildings constructed prior to the BC Plumbing Code revision in 1989, can be
removed using a carbon-block filter • Bottled water often comes from municipal tap water, and is often more expensive than gasoline per gallon • The British Columbia bottle bill covers all ready-to-drink beverages sold in the province • There are over 500 water fountains spread across Vancouver.
