Strong Partnerships Key to Building Strong Organizations

Partnership development is extremely important in today's complex world, regardless of whether your interests lie in finance, education, health or building homes. Partnerships are critical, particularly so to a new organization, with ambitions like the FNNBOA. Recognizing this reality has prompted the organization to established partnerships with key First Nation organizations, government agencies and non-government organizations. These relationships can help us accomplish our goals and assist us to move toward our ultimate objective which is healthier and more durable housing for all First Nations citizens.

FNNBOA is pleased to share with you the numerous corporate, government and other partnerships we have established:

Funding Sponsors

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC): Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) works collaboratively with partners to improve access to high quality services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Our vision is to support and empower Indigenous peoples to independently deliver services and address the socio-economic conditions in their communities.

Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC): The CCMC, which operates within the National Research Council of Canada, offers a national evaluation service for all types of innovative building construction materials, products, systems and services. CCMC evaluations are supported by the latest technical research and expertise and are based on the requirements of the National Building Code of Canada or Provincial/Territorial Building Codes.

Partners

The FNNBOA is not stopping there, next the group will seek to establish partnerships with the various corporations that sell building supplies. FNNBOA believes partnerships wit the many levels of government, NGOs and corporate entities involved in different aspects of First Nations housing is a powerful tool to help rebuild our communities and establish our presence as an organization that represents building officers. Working together, we can achieve our goal of better housing conditions for First Nation communities.
