There is a multi-year plan to build much-needed new homes within First Nations communities across Canada. These new homes will provide a better quality of life and health for people.
Within the long-term plan there still remains an urgent need to improve the conditions of the existing housing in communities, while awaiting newly constructed homes to replace them. In addition, wellness and health centers play a significant role in First Nations communities. Schools, day cares, senior centers are all of consideration when it comes to members health. We start with Healthy Homes!
Cleaning the air, killing germs, removing contaminants within homes and community buildings is required – right now! This includes moulds on surfaces, in the air, as well as cleaning the heating ducts (and/or HVAC) to eliminate odours and improve health conditions.
- Moulds
- Mildew
- Stains
- Odours
- Fentanyl
- Heroin
- Opioids
To date, there have been challenges in communities to have this work done effectively, consistently and at a reasonable cost.
Foster First Solutions has a FREE Remediation Management service with a panel of professionals to review your needs, consider your challenges, then provide answers, solutions and referrals (if needed) to get the job done RIGHT. This is a free service to First Nations Communities. We also invite remediation/clean up companies to better understand what the needs are for First Nations communities – educate them on sensitivity, cultural awareness, and values of the First Nations people. (Please scroll to the bottom of this page)
In the event that a remediation company has not been contracted, we can provide quality remediators by referral, to do the work required for residential, commercial and community centers. The work will be priced according to size and other requirements. Contractors will be chosen that meet or exceed those requirements.
