Building Momentum: Strengthening First Nations Housing in 2025 🏠
From the Desk of Candace Bennett, CEO of FNHPA
Rather than my usual update on our packed schedules full of meetings, planning sessions, presentations, and conferences, this month, I want to take a moment to speak to something that lives at the core of who we are, both as professionals and as people: resilience.
1.MIP Manitoba Intensive Program – First Intake Complete!
We are thrilled to share that the first intake of the MIP (Manitoba Intensive Program) has officially wrapped up! This incredible group of dedicated professionals has completed the intensive training and has now been officially approved by the FNHPA Board. The First Nations Housing Professionals Association (FNHPA) is proud of each participant’s commitment and perseverance. We cannot wait to see them take their well-deserved place on stage and be recognized for their hard work at
the FNHPA National Conference in Saskatoon. Join us in celebrating this important milestone for housing professionals in Manitoba!
