Edmonton, Treaty 6 Territory, Alberta - Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
During negotiations towards a reconciliation agreement to advance their visions of greater self-determination, support for housing was identified as a priority for the eight Métis settlements of Alberta that comprise the Metis Settlements General Council.
Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, joined President Herb Lehr of the Metis Settlements General Council to announce an investment of $29 million over seven years towards housing priorities for Métis settlements of Alberta.
Access to safe and affordable housing is critical to improving health and social outcomes for Indigenous Peoples and ensuring a strong future for their communities and children. This investment is part of $190 million from Budget 2022 for Métis to address urgent housing needs, including specific funds for Métis institutions and governments in Canada.
