Through innovation, health and climate, the conference will bring people together to share knowledge, explore practical solutions and help shape healthier, more sustainable and resilient First Nations housing for generations to come.
Innovation considers new approaches to infrastructure, technology, administration, and leadership that can strengthen how housing is planned, built, and managed. Health recognizes the connection between housing and overall well-being, addressing concerns such as indoor air quality, overcrowding, and other housing conditions that can impact both physical and mental health. Climate focuses on creating sustainable, resilient homes while respecting the land, water, and natural resources. Together, these three areas reflect a broader transformation in First Nations housing.
Learn, connect, and lead alongside the people shaping First Nations housing across Canada.
Three Streams and Three Days filled with Opportunities to Learn, Connect, and Lead.
Whether you’re on the tools, in the office, or at the leadership table, FNHC 2027 offers practical learning designed for every role in First Nations housing. Explore three dedicated learning streams, each featuring expert-led sessions, real community experiences, and actionable solutions you can bring back to your communities.

I help many of Windigos first nations with getting access to funding from ISC, CMHC and other federal funding opportunities for housing, renovations and infrastructure. I’m in training for Housing inspections and have walked through many different houses in First Nation communities so I have a general idea of some of the issues that they face in housing. I also help semi manage housing, renovation and infrastructure projects. I’m a first contact for many due to my responsiveness and I’ve gotten a good understanding of doing the reporting requirements for ISC and CMHC.

Home maintenance is essential for protecting your home and ensuring it remains safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient year-round. Regular tasks such as inspecting your home for any minor damage, water leaks, or arising issues and then tackling them can help prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your home’s systems. An important part of home maintenance is caring for your Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV). Routine HRV maintenance, including cleaning or replacing filters can go a long way.
