Not a Drop to Drink

The people of Neskantaga First Nation in Northern Ontario haven't been able to drink the water from their taps for more than 25 years.
The community is under Canada's longest-running boil-water advisory.
The federal government says the system will be fixed in 2019, but many community members are skeptical. Casey Moonias, 26, has lived under the advisory most of her life, and her five children have never drank water from the taps in their community.
She says that even if the government says that the water is safe, she won't use it because she no longer trusts the Canadian government's word.
