First Nations Capital and Infrastructure Agency of Saskatchewan (FNCIAS) was created to support Member Nations in the transition to taking over care and control of on-reserve housing, capital and infrastructure from Canada and close the infrastructure gap in Saskatchewan.
Together, with Member Nations, we are working together to change and improve the economic, social, health, and education disparities faced by First Nations people.
First Nations Capital and Infrastructure Agency of Saskatchewan will support Nations to plan and manage infrastructure assets by pursuing the following objectives:
In Phase 1, the goal was to establish a First Nations Housing and Infrastructure Agency that is built by First Nations for First Nations and that subsequently is governed by First Nations and delivers programs and services designed to meet the needs of First Nations.
During extensive engagement, we heard that there is widespread support for the transition from government to First Nation’s control with many seeing the transformation as an exciting opportunity.
This phase involves repeated engagement sessions so that ideas and ongoing feedback can help us further refine our focus on the delivery model and the terms of the associated transfer agreement with Canada.
This phase involves working with Member First Nations to assess and quantify the infrastructure gap on Reserve lands.
The transfer of responsibility from Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) to First Nations. Since FNCIAS is owned and operated by First Nations, it will generate long–term employment and career development for Indigenous people in housing and infrastructure.
