The provincial government of Ontario has partnered with four organizations to train well contractors and educate private well owners on well construction, maintenance and safety.
The funding includes approximately $494,000 (USD) for Sir Sanford Fleming College to develop leading-edge curriculum for well contractors and technicians; and $619,000 for Green Communities, in partnership with the Ontario Ground Water Association and the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario, to lead an 18-month community-based education program for private well owners.
