Native Housing Conference

Leaders from 11 northern tribal councils and more than 80 aboriginal communities are in Thunder Bay this week to share expertise and ideas on northern housing.

Organizer Richard Habinski says the gathering is designed to address issue related to housing in those communities.

"The First Nations that attend have an opportunity to network," says Habinski, "They have an opportunity to discuss issues with each other. More importantly we have a lot of information that's provided here. We have a trade show. We have workshops. It's all about training and capacity building in the north."

The conference wraps up today.
