A Regional First Nation Chief says a conference devised to address housing issues for aboriginal communities fails to recognize key problems plaguing the North.
Lac Seul Chief David Gordon says it’s valuable to hear about new building materials and technologies, but there’s simply no money in remote First Nations to pay for new homes.
About 170 delegates are attending the 2nd Annual First Nations Housing Conference today to learn more about issues like renewable energy, wood stove safety and mould.
Gordon says it’s a different situation in remote, fly-in communities, where people live in crowded, run-down homes.
