 First Nation Housing

Did you know that the air inside our homes can be up to five times more polluted than the air outdoors? Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a vital role in creating safe, comfortable, and sustainable living environments. Join us for an engaging session where we’ll unpack what indoor air quality really means, why it matters for housing, and how various factors—from building materials to ventilation—can influence it. We’ll also explore practical strategies to improve IAQ and enhance the quality of our indoor spaces.
