“This investment will make a concrete difference in the lives of many families in Liard First Nation, Ross River Dena Council, and the White River First Nation. Quality and appropriate housing is critical to our well-being. It is also essential for children to have a fair chance of success. These projects have been led by First Nations since the beginning, and they have worked tirelessly to get the houses built during a challenging time. The Federal Government will be at every First Nations’ side as they take the lead to build more homes.”
