I'd like to mention that at Kwantlen Polytechnic University we have an aboriginal trades program and we have aboriginal students come from all across the province to be trained as carpenters, millwrights, welders, and other professionals. Then they go back to their communities with ticketed skills. It is hugely successful.
Two first nations communities that I know of have excellent social housing programs on the reserve. They are the Siksika Nation just outside Calgary and the Squamish First Nation in Squamish, British Columbia. Both of those communities are doing excellent work.
