First Nations Capital and Infrastructure Agency of Saskatchewan (FNCIAS) is inviting representatives from First Nations and Tribal Councils in Saskatchewan to our Fall 2023 Conference.

This conference will be a gathering of Nations and Tribal Councils to discuss and shape the future of housing and infrastructure in First Nations in Saskatchewan. We believe that your Nation or Tribal Council’s participation and insights will be invaluable in this collaborative effort.

FNCIAS will cover mileage and accommodations for up to two representatives from each Nation and Tribal Council. Representatives could include Chiefs, council members, leadership, public works employees, or housing managers. If more than two representatives would like to attend, they are welcome to be a part of the festivities, but mileage and accommodations will only be covered for two from each Nation or Tribal Council.

Process Timeline

See Process

Phase 1: Initiation and Engagement

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.

Phase 2: Continued Engagement and Program Development with Member Nations

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.

Phase 3: Pilot Assessment

This phase involves working with Member First Nations to assess and quantify the infrastructure gap on Reserve lands.

Phase 4: Agency Operations

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.
