Capacity is a critical part of creating, owning and operating these systems over a long period of time. One of the challenges many of our communities ran into a number of years ago was everybody wanting to move to Alberta because of the wage differential in terms of water operators. Working closely with communities, one by one—with a systematic approach to training, certification and commitment by people to stay in their communities for a long period of time—is the foundation for a system and process that can work over decades.
In terms of consistency across systems, having people train locally in the community on the system that is there is another thing. One thing we're dealing with in our communities is trying to achieve that level of consistency across communities in both engineering and design, in order to ensure that an operator from community A can work in community B and community C. There has to be a group to make sure that, as systems grow and challenges arise, enough people are dedicated and committed to staying with what they're doing. Working closely with all of them in our communities has been one of the biggest fundamental commitments our chiefs have made to our water operators: ensuring training and also ensuring ongoing training, because the skills you need now will not be the skills you require in the next decade. This is critical if these systems are going to last for their entire life cycles and benefit each and every community, because we deserve equality across communities in terms of safe water and safe systems that last.
Thank you.
