FNNBOA is pleased to release the Guide for the Development of Accessibility Standards for the Built Environment In Northern, Rural, Remote and Indigenous Communities  (Link below)

This release is timely and fits the need for housing managers in First Nations Indian Reservations in Canada to equip homes with accessibility equipment and designs.

This guide focuses on persons living with disabilities in remote, rural, northern, and Indigenous communities.

The guide is organized according to the following areas of concern:

* Cognitive

* Communication

* Intellectual

* Learning

* Mental Illness

* Physical

* Sensory

The guide provides accessibility solutions for the built environment that focus on homes. The built environment includes:

Communication elements – visual display systems

Rooms and spaces – kitchens, bathrooms, living or common-use spaces

Other – caregivers, live-in help, or other essential information

A Report on The Beginnings of FNNBOA

Laying the Foundation for a First Nations / Aboriginal Inspectors Association (PDF - version français) - This report focuses on the outcomes of a meeting that was held on March 23 and 24, 2002 in Ottawa. A foundation meeting for what was to become FNNBOA.
One of the key decisions made was to establish an association to represent inspectors serving First Nations and Aboriginal communities. The group also nominated us as co-chairs to help establish this association. The report also identifies other key decisions that were made during the meeting.
