ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE
Improving the quality, supply, and affordability of housing and infrastructure for Indigenous Peoples is a priority for the Government of Canada and an important commitment on the path toward reconciliation.
2024 Federal Budget commits to $918 million over five years starting in 2024-25 to Indigenous Services Canada and CIRNAC to accelerate work in narrowing First Nations, Inuit and Métis housing and infrastructure gaps.*
Focusing on infrastructure projects in Indigenous communities, CI’s Annual Forum on First Nations Housing & Infrastructure East will take a deep look at the federal budget’s funding allocation, identify financing opportunities and address the pressing challenges facing the housing sector in First Peoples territories. This two-day conference serves as a vital platform for exploring innovative strategies, sharing best practices and fostering collaborative partnerships between First Nations, government and industry leaders in energy, construction and design.

Was a good experience. I had learned a lot and will continue to learn about other communities’ stories and bring them back to my home.
Very informative, it is good to know that other communities have similar cases and helping each other out and sharing.
Good to hear other First Nations are dealing with similar issues, and are finding solutions.
