Indigenous-owned financial firms are forming new partnerships with major Canadian banks to unlock capital for large-scale First Nations infrastructure projects. The collaborations aim to bridge a widening infrastructure gap and support communities seeking equity participation in major developments, from energy transmission lines to housing and broadband.
BNN Bloomberg spoke with Fred Di Blasio, co-founder and CEO of Longhouse Capital Partners, about how blended financing models, federal loan guarantee programs and bank partnerships can accelerate project timelines and empower First Nations to play a leading role in Canada’s infrastructure build-out.
