Community Infrastructure

Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) provides financial and advisory assistance for the construction, acquisition, operations and maintenance of community infrastructure on reserves. This includes water supply, wastewater treatment and community buildings. AANDC also ensures that on-reserve community infrastructure is well-planned, effectively managed and comparable to what is enjoyed by Canadians living off reserve.

Building for the Future

The First Nations Infrastructure Fund provided $234 million between 2007 and 2013 through a single-window approach to access funding for infrastructure on-reserve, increasing efficiency and streamlining the way for First Nation governments to access federal infrastructure funding.
