We have partnered with the First Nations Bank of Canada on a first-of-its-kind loan unlocking land development projects in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. Our partnership will unlock enabling infrastructure development in Indigenous communities – such as site works, roadworks, water/wastewater facilities and utility connections – supporting improved living conditions, new economic opportunities and housing.      Interested Indigenous communities can apply for loans to finance enabling infrastructure, with the process managed entirely by FNBC.     Learn more about our partnership & see how you can connect with FNBC: https://lnkd.in/gX45jitw     #NIHM2024 #CIBIndigenous #Indigenousinfrastructure  #IndigenousEconomicEmpowerment .............

Riveting words from Councillor Brittany Robertson, BSW, MSW of Doig River First Nation today as her community breaks ground on the first urban reserve in northeastern BC! Thank you for having our President & CEO Bill Lomax in Fort St. John as our bank supports this economic driver in the region. Special “beaver tail” shovels were used for the event, made by Pasqua First Nation-owned and FNBC-client Pro Metal Industries Ltd. A nod to the Nation’s history when it was known as Fort St. John Beaver Band.

Congratulations to Pro Metal Industries Ltd., a 100% owned subsidiary of PFN Group of Companies - the economic development arm of Pasqua First Nation, on the grand opening of their new 45,000 sq ft manufacturing facility! First Nations Bank of Canada was proud to finance this monumental project. As stated by Richard Missens CEO of PFN Group of Companies, "In the road to reconciliation, this facility is a milestone for us. It’s the first time that we own the business, building and land. We are now participating and contributing to the Canadian economy. We are creating public wealth for the people of our Nation." #IndigenousBusiness #EconomicDevelopment #IndigenousEconomicDevelopment #IndigenousFinance #FNBC #Banking #Finance #NationBuilding #IndigenousProsperity #EconomicGrowth #IndigneousEconomicOpportunity #CommunityWealth
