Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline, B.C.’s natural gas system will be challenged in times of high demand.
That’s why we need our customers to reduce their use of natural gas over the coming months.
You can help by lowering your thermostat, shortening your showers and washing laundry in cold water.
For more information, visit fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse or contact 1-888-224-2710.
B.C.’s natural gas supply will be limited this winter.

Safe Drinking Water Monitoring Program Charlene Campbell-Wood
ADVANCING RECONCILIATION WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
It is unacceptable that anyone living in Canada should not be able to safely drink the water that comes out of their taps.
No person should be forced to live in overcrowded and unsafe homes, and no young person should have to move far
from home to get a good education. Yet, all over Canada, these are exactly the challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples.
Indigenous Peoples, non-Indigenous Canadians and the Government agree that this must change. Together, Canada and
Indigenous Peoples are forging a new relationship, based on recognition of rights, respect, cooperation and partnership.
MEASURES
CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER
The Government is committed to eliminating all long-term drinking water advisories on public water systems on reserve
by March 2021. As of February 12, 2018, 52 long-term drinking water advisories on public water systems have been
lifted. Through Budget 2018, the Government is building on investments of previous budgets, with new funding to
accelerate the construction of new water systems and renovate existing ones. With these investments, the Government
will ensure that more affected water systems will become functional earlier than 2021. New investments would also
support efforts to recruit and train water operators—as well as establish innovative First Nations-led service delivery
models.
