2012 world indigenous

housing conference

Welcome – K’alhwa7acw – N’iit

The Aboriginal Housing Management Association, host of the 2012 World Indigenous Housing Conference is delighted to invite you to stunning Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The conference is set for June 11-15, 2012, with the breathtaking Coast Mountains as a backdrop for the event.

The WIHC is the first international forum to bring Indigenous housing leaders, senior government officials, researchers and corporate heads from around the world together to learn from best practices, build a global network, and showcase Indigenous cultures.

You’ll have the opportunity to share expertise and build powerful connections with this influential arena of leaders from Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, developed countries that share common Indigenous housing experiences.

Stimulating speakers, workshops and presentations will explore five key themes: Health and Housing, Capacity Building, Disaster Preparedness, Governance and Partnerships.

The 2012 World Indigenous Housing Conference will be amazing, so don’t miss it! We look forward to meeting you and sharing ideas.

All my relations,
