Ottawa – Indigenous Services Canada recognizes the critical importance of safe homes for children and families to grow and thrive. Housing continues to be a pressing need across the country, disproportionately affecting Indigenous Peoples.
Wabaseemoong Independent Nations broke ground on a new subdivision that will provide much-needed homes for their members. The additional space enables the building of 63 residential lots and associated roads, offering more families a comfortable place to call home.
Indigenous Services Canada is investing over $15 million to support this project at Wabaseemoong Independent Nations.
This housing project is part of a government-wide strategy aimed at adressing housing needs for First Nations, allowing partners to build sustainable, healthier, and more prosperous communities for all.
“Through partnership with Wabaseemoong Independent Nations, today’s investment will create 63 new places for community members and their families providing a safe, clean, and reliable place to call home.” – Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services
