From Urgent Priorities to Lasting Impact
Indigenous Nations are leading projects in housing, water, energy, health, and land stewardship that carry enormous responsibility. The needs are urgent. The timelines are tight. The funding windows are short.
But when projects stall, communities are left waiting. Homes sit unfinished. Water advisories remain in place. Health and wellbeing are at risk.
That’s why Nations across Canada are partnering with Indigenous Project Management Solutions (IPMS) — a trusted guide providing training, systems, and governance tools that put control in community hands and ensure outcomes last for generations.
The IPMS Approach: Capacity, Continuity, Community
For over 20 years, Indigenous Project Management Solutions (IPMS) has partnered with 170+ First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities to strengthen project delivery across every sector. Our proven 3Cs framework powers every solution:
Each project is more than infrastructure — it’s jobs, procurement opportunities, and own-source revenues that fuel long-term Nation building.
Five Priority Sectors
IPMS solutions focus on the five urgent priorities driving Indigenous projects and funding today.
Housing & Community Infrastructure
The Assembly of First Nations has identified a $349B housing and infrastructure gap. Every project is a chance to provide safe, adequate housing while creating jobs and advancing sovereignty.
Water & Wastewater
Since 2015, 144 long-term advisories have been lifted, but 28 remain. Indigenous-led project management ensures water systems are delivered safely, sustainably, and with accountability to communities.
Clean Energy & Climate Resilience
Across Canada, there are 190+ Indigenous-led renewable energy projects. With climate impacts accelerating, Nations are leading the shift toward resilience and self-determination.
Land Use, Guardians & Conservation
Indigenous Guardians programs deliver a $2.50 return for every $1 invested. Project management strengthens these initiatives with structure, reporting, and Nation-to-Nation collaboration.
Health & Community Wellbeing
The $2B Indigenous Health Equity Fund is driving projects across communities. Strong project management ensures these investments deliver long-term wellbeing and continuity of care.
