Special rapporteur will be in territory sometime between April 8 and 19 to meet local officials

A United Nations expert on safe drinking water and sanitation plans to visit Nunavut as part of an 11-day trip to Canada in which he will meet with federal, provincial and Indigenous leaders.

Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, will examine several aspects of these issues, including availability, accessibility, quality and safety, affordability, acceptability for drinking, domestic usage and sanitation.

The UN announced the trip April 4 in a news release.

Arrojo-Agudo’s itinerary will take him to Ontario, Nunavut, British Columbia and Alberta before he heads to a news conference in Ottawa where he will announce his preliminary findings.
