4th Annual First Nations Housing & Infrastructure West 2020 | Solar and Storage Finance Series | 25 June 2020 | Virtual Event

With a renewed focus on building homes, the Federal Government is making a multi-billion-dollar investment into Indigenous services and reiterating its promise to deliver on Canada’s First National Housing Strategy. This $40-billion plan to build 100,000 affordable housing units and repair 300,000 housing units before 2027 is essential to improving Indigenous communities.

Join us at the 4th Annual First Nations Housing & Infrastructure West forum to hear the latest funding announcements and financing opportunities for both housing and infrastructure needs. Hear how communities are bridging the gap between on- and off-reserve housing, and network with industry leaders in energy, construction and design to identify the latest technologies that will support your community for generations to come.
