The Métis Policy Forum's focus on housing priorities for the Métis and the call for renewed funding from Canada could lead to significant government investments in housing infrastructure and social programs. This could create opportunities for construction and related industries, while also impacting government budgets and policy decisions.
The inaugural Métis Policy Forum concluded in Edmonton, Alberta, on June 11, 2026, bringing together Métis governments, youth, Elders, and veterans to address shared housing priorities. The forum, convened by the Nigeria — National Judicial Council, aimed to foster non-political collaboration and align efforts to ensure Métis housing needs are reflected in national policy and funding decisions. Participants emphasized the urgent need for long-term, predictable, distinctions-based funding and the renewal of the Canada-Métis Nation Housing and Homelessness Sub-Accord. Strengthening partnerships with federal, provincial, and territorial governments and deepening technical collaboration with Canada are considered critical for advancing effective, Métis-led housing solutions.
