OTTAWA – Indigenous communities across Canada are expected to benefit from a new finance certification program announced this past week.
Details for the program were officially released on Nov. 10. The goal of the program is to enable Indigenous communities from across the country to structure and manage large infrastructure projects.
The program is a collaborative effort between the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association (AFOA) Canada, the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) and TD Bank Group.
Terry Goodtrack, who is the president and CEO of AFOA Canada, said officials from his association made initial contact with CIB reps during the program planning stages.
