Two First Nations communities are being recognized at tonight's twelfth annual First Nations Northern Housing Conference at the Valhalla Inn. Batchewana and Constance Lake First Nation are receiving the 2014 Innovation Awards. Lisa McCormick is Tenant Liaison for the Batchewana First Nation and says that their community has involved residents when designing their homes. She adds that the goal is to have them feel an attachment to the home and treat it with care. Corrina Cheechoo is an assistant with the Housing Program Coordinator and says her community has taken a long term approach to create safe and affordable living.
