\u2018Housing Policies for First Nation Communities\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stemming from the Attawapiskat Benefit Concert, last December, a commitment was made to continue the dialogue in First Nations\u2019 Housing policy across Canada.<\/p>\n

We will be joined by the Assembly of First Nations\u2019 Senior Policy Advisor on Housing and Infrastructure, Dewey Smith. He will discuss the current housing policy, and answer questions to know why communities do very well, and others do not, in the case of Attawapiskat.<\/p>\n
