The Environmental Public Health Program works with First Nations communities and other agencies to prevent or mitigate environmental public health risks that may arise. Solid waste can be a public health hazard if it is not managed properly. The EPH Program works with the community and other agencies to help limit public health risks posed by solid waste disposal.
