It is estimated that more than 40 per cent of homes on First Nations reserves need major repairs, compared with 7 per cent in non-aboriginal homes outside reserves in Canada. According to recent fire statistics, First Nations people in Canada are ten times more susceptible to die in house fires than the population at large.To address major infrastructure challenges, IC-IMPACTS is soliciting research proposals that focus on the development and evaluation of novel ideas, methodologies, materials, and strategies that can enhance the design and construction of low-cost, resilient, energy-efficient and safe housing for First Nations communities.<\/p>\n
