It is with pride and enthusiasm Keepers of the Water and Keepers of the Athabasca wish to announce that they have amalgamated into one group: Keepers of the Water Society.

There is concern around the current impact of the Athabasca River flood.

Keepers of the Athabasca are working with hydrogeologists to develop a data visualization tool for community based water monitoring that will show where tailings are seeping into the groundwater and coming back up in the Athabasca River.

Environmental groups say the Government of Canada is failing to meet its legal responsibilities by exempting tailings pond chemicals from a recent screening assessment.

We have many unacknowledged environmental and human health impacts from existing bitumen mines, with currently over a billion cubic metres of toxic tailings. Keepers of the Athabasca is one of the intervenors working hard to stop a proposal for the biggest bitumen mine yet.

The Tawatinaw valley and watershed, with a rich history and cherished by all who live in and around it, is now threatened by two proposed massive gravel and sand pits.

The Joint Review Panel convenes on September 25, 2018 to review Teck's application for a brand new bitumen mine in Alberta. This, the largest and most northerly mine yet, is right next to endangered UNESCO world heritage site, the Wood Buffalo National Park, and the application runs over 4000 pages.

Keepers of the Athabasca is partnering with Sucker Creek First Nation and the Society of High Prairie Regional Environmental Action Committee to put a solar installation on the Treaty 8 Building in Sucker Creek First Nation

On the anniversary of 1,600 ducks' death in Syncrude's tailings pond, we wish to express our sincere condolences for the thousands of other lives lost in tailing ponds

First Nations, residents, businesses, and municipalities want to know: does contamination from the Swan Hills (hazardous waste) Treatment Centre (SHTC) reach us around the Lesser Slave Lake area

Keepers of the Athabasca is distressed to hear that yet another large group of birds is dead due to toxic tailings in the bitumen mining region of Northern Alberta.

On Tuesday, July 11 at 6 pm, there will be a public meeting in the tiny hamlet of Faust, on the shores of the Lesser Slave Lake. Once the largest settlement on the lake, idyllic Faust is now home to a toxic site that Big Lakes County suggests making into a public park.

Today the Athabasca and its Keepers hosted a unique 3-day canoe voyage of Athabasca Watershed Indigenous Peoples and Settlers in celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation and the importance and value of Keeping this Canadian Heritage River for all living things.

A media conference and information session was held February 2, 2017 to discuss the Hay River Basin pollution investigation.

In 2009 and 2013, reports of a new type of 'spill' surfaced in the Cold Lake region, in which the earth's crust is cracked, broken, and oozing bitumen.

Keepers of the Athabasca met with SUEZ Environmental (replacing SENA) and Alberta Environment and Parks on September 9, 2016. We agreed to work together to address effects of 'unplanned' and 'allowable' PCB, dioxin, and furan releases, and managing hazardous wastes.

Keepers of the Athabasca participates in the Solar4All campaign. Our information tables this summer were met with enthusiasm and hundreds of signatures. Solar4All believes that everyone who wants to access solar energy should be able to do so.

First Nations leaders, Elders and other community members from Treaty 8 are driving across Canada to focus on the importance of the latest legal challenge to the Site C Dam project on the Peace River.

As Keepers of the Water, we, the people who have united from all walks of life, have an understanding that Water is sacred, and water is boss.

We have waited two long years to find out the facts behind the catastrophic Obed coal slurry spill and be privy to the evidence for the criminal charges laid by the Alberta Energy Regulator against the then owner of the mine, Sherritt International, and Coal Valley Resources.
