TODAY WE RECEIVED TWO MORE SPECIAL ELECTRICAL SPE-1000 CERTIFICATIONS FOR OUR LATEST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS. CARRIED OUT BY LEAD ENGINEER SAJJAD OF @QAI LABORATORIES, THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY THE HIGHEST STAMP OF APPROVAL OBTAINABLE FOR OUR SYSTEMS.
We will use our privilege to help others.
This wonderful man Sajjad epitomizes the rare breed of individuals who not only share a common intention but also embody it in every aspect of their being. As a high-ranking member of QAI, one of North America's leading certification laboratories, his remarkable engineering acumen is matched only by his humility. Also, by his authenticity. There is not one thing about him that is not real. He is always wanting to personally travel to our facility (or to the field) for our next certification process of our projects, because he is driven by a profound understanding of our mission and the imperative to utilize our privilege to uplift those less fortunate.
Witnessing my team's pride today, not just in their technical achievements but in their alignment with why we do this in order to serve the indigenous landowners, was immeasurably gratifying. Liam Janzen, Chris Blackburn, Eli Hutchens
I get lost sometimes in the stresses and the weight of it. I think it's because the closer you get to the wonderful indigenous people we aim to assist, the more it ultimately can hurt. Today brought me right back down to earth and reminded me of all the good and the good people I have around me.
Engaging in such an endeavour, while undeniably challenging, draws us closer to the communities we serve, igniting a passion to make a meaningful difference. This journey reaffirms the fundamental principle that we are all interconnected and obligated to support one another, especially when we possess the means to do so.
I'm reminded again today of why I decided to do this in the first place. The desire to do right by others and at our core is the sense of purpose to make a difference and solve real world issues.

WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED ANOTHER DRINKING WATER ADVISORY IN A FIRST NATION COMMUNITY!
THE DZAWADA'ENUXW may finally drink safe, clean water from their taps.
Our hearts are filled up again, as we were able to provide a clean drinking water system for the beautiful people of Dzawada'enuxw in the Ukwanalis Village, in remote Kingcome. We proudly add this the list of advisories we have been responsible in removing among First Nations and this in fact was a 'DO Not Consume' advisory, making it especially challenging water to treat. Our team, as Indigenous Services Canada states, "is the only one of it's kind that can do all the things we do" and we are definitely proud to be that!
This could not have been done without the trust of the community as well as the tireless aid of those in it! We cultivated lifelong friendships as we worked alongside some of the most proud and intentional women and men, we have had the pleasure of working with. We stayed in their beautiful community, ate, laughed, cried, failed, succeeded and 'came together'. That latter part is personally much of why I do this, and I am sure when I speak for my team, they would agree.
We assessed the water, the area and the conditions, and we went to work in constructing a complete set of filter treatment components in our facility. That would seem unlike any other day at the Clearflo production lab, however, this time what makes it unique is; we did so in order that it fit into the existing pumphouse in the community. We constructed it with transporting it via Sea and Aircraft to the remote community, in mind. This meant that it would need to be constructed in a 'fold down/pop up' construction. it took 28 days to construct and just 2.5 days to install with all the pre-planning paying off! I could not be prouder of my team; they are magnificent and carry hearts so large. They are so committed to seeing our Indigenous friends receive what everyone else takes for granted, safe clean drinking water.

Gord Kurbis reporting:
Clearflo Solutions doesn't work inside of the old broken implementation models; we do things differently. We engage directly with First Nations leaders, deploy the system, set up and get water pumping inside of 2.5 days. We work with allies such as First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) and Interior Health Authority (IHA) as a collaboration, to expedite the review and certification of the system. Then we are providing access to safe, clean water.
That's our Model: 2.5 days, not 9,490 days (26 years) waiting for water, as in the case of #neskantaga .
