On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I woke this morning thinking about how we came to this place and the responsibility each of us carries for what comes next.

I want to emphasize that today is not about us or the work we do, however, I want to begin by saying:

Through our work with First Nations communities, I personally found a place I know I am supposed to be.

What began as the work of providing safe drinking water became something much deeper. My team and I at Clearflo have been welcomed into communities, trusted with their challenges, and given the opportunity to listen, learn, build relationships and, in some small way, contribute.

We don’t take that trust lightly.

Again, today is not about us or the work we do. It's about the Nations, the families, the survivors, the little loves who never came home, and the generations who have carried forward their cultures, languages, strength and connection to the land and water despite everything that was taken from them.

Clean, safe water is fundamental to the health and future of every community. For too many First Nations, something so basic has required generations of advocacy and perseverance. The people and communities we have come to know deserve more than temporary solutions and promises. They deserve the same certainty that most Canadians take for granted when they turn on a taps that the water will be there, that it will be safe, and that their children and grandchildren can depend on it.

One of the promises I made was to dedicate myself and the work we do to helping create sustainable access to safe drinking water for First Nations communities. I intend to keep that promise.

I have the most beautiful friends and family with huge committed hearts along side me to see it through:

To have our daughter standing beside us, carrying this work forward and believing in its purpose as deeply as we do, means more than words can express.

She understands that what we do is about far more than water treatment: it’s about people, and effecting lasting change within Indigenous communities.

So incredibly proud of you, Taylor Leigh

Every once in a while, life gives you the chance to come full circle.

When Clearflo was nothing more than a dream fueled by my passion and determination, there was a gentleman aptly also named Kevin, who saw enough in me to spend countless hours on the phone sharing a lifetime of knowledge, engineering experience, and wisdom that most people would have charged dearly for. He never rushed the conversations.

He was a senior engineer for a company in Victoria BC, that supplied some of the vital and particular equipment I needed in the development of my water treatment systems. He never held back. He simply invested in someone who was hungry to learn. I pushed myself beyond my own limits and found new ones, as I learned what I needed to know.

When Kevin unexpectedly stopped by the shop a few months ago, I was genuinely caught off guard. It reminded me of just how much of my early journey had been shaped by his generousity. Today, I had the privilege of inviting him back for coffee, a tour, and a chance to catch up.

Watching him walk through our facility, seeing what Clearflo has become, was one of those rare full circle moments are hard to describe. Looking past the gratitude in my eyes I could see the pride in his. None of us get where we are entirely on our own. Along the way, some or many choose to believe in us, to teach us and to give us a piece of themselves. Kevin Bushnell was one of those people for me, and I will always be truly grateful.

Thank you my friend. A part of Clearflo exists because you chose to share your gift with someone who simply wanted to learn. I hope today showed you that your investment in me was never wasted.

The smiles you see are born from success, shared purpose, and the genuine joy that comes from making a meaningful difference. Our commitment to this work is matched only by our gratitude.

How did we get to be so fortunate to do what we do?

Having the opportunity to help provide safe, clean drinking water to First Nations communities is both an honour and a privilege. We all know that our work carries purpose far beyond the systems we build.

From the first analysis of source water, to the first full glass of clean water, we love designing and building these magic machines, for truly amazing people!

Out on site today with St’uxwtéws (Bonaparte First Nation) and Acres Enterprises, as we advance the planning for what will be the third Water Treatment System we have constructed for the community.

A key part of this work is walking the site together, laying out future piping routes, and ensuring every step aligns with the guidance and processes of the archaeological and cultural heritage teams. These on site meetings are essential not only for good project delivery, but for building relationships founded on respect, collaboration, and recognition of Indigenous knowledge and stewardship of the land.

We're proud to be part of the journey toward reliable, sustainable water infrastructure for St’uxwtéws.

O&M training day for Taylor at Dzawada'enuxw!

Her son West (our grandson) joined us and participated with such excitement and curiosity throughout the day. Helping First Nations maintain sustainable access to safe, clean water is at the core of our work, however it's not only technical, it's very much human centered and socio cultural involvement. It's opening your heart as wide as our can.

Seeing our children visit communities, build relationships, and share smiles with other children in the Nation is profoundly important. These young people are our future, and every opportunity to foster understanding, connection, and respect helps strengthen the bonds between communities and generations.

We must lead by example, demonstrating the values of collaboration, kindness, and service. By bringing our children into these experiences, we help them appreciate the importance of community, stewardship, and the meaningful work being done to support healthy and thriving Nations for generations to come.

We are so lucky, to be able to do what we do!

This is wonderful news! Congratulations to K’ómoks First Nation, the traditional, ancestral territory we reside in.

The K’ómoks Treaty Act (Bill 20) is now officially an Act of the Province of British Columbia

The K’ómoks Treaty Act (Bill 20) has reached a historic milestone. Late this afternoon, the bill received Royal Assent and is now an Act of the Province of British Columbia.

This comes after the bill passed Third Reading earlier today in the BC Legislature, with 53 MLAs voting in favour and 39 against.

This achievement reflects decades of work by K’ómoks members, Elders, leaders, negotiators, and community members who have remained committed to advancing a modern treaty and building a stronger future for the Nation.

Next, we will turn our efforts toward preparations for the federal legislative process, as the K’ómoks Treaty must still be ratified by the Parliament of Canada. Following federal ratification, the Parties will work together to establish an Effective Date and continue preparations for implementation.

This World Water Day, we’re reminded that access to clean, safe drinking water is not a privilege, it’s a fundamental right.

At Clearflo Solutions Inc., we are proud to design, manufacture, and deploy water systems that support Indigenous communities and remove drinking water advisories. With that said, meaningful change doesn’t happen in a single day of recognition, it happens through consistent action, thoughtful stewardship, and a shared commitment to doing better every day. We are lucky to be doing what we do and have the ability to continue, this does not mean that everyone else can't play a role.

Whether it’s conserving water, supporting sustainable practices, or advancing solutions for communities in need, each of us has a role to play. Knowledge is the first step, and with this comes awareness, imagination and resource. Imagine for just a moment, not having running water in your taps, and no stores within hundreds of miles to purchase bottles of water. This is the reality for millions, and for decades.

Let today be more than a moment, let it be a catalyst for ongoing impact.
