NAFC Welcomes Budget 2026 Investments and Opportunities to Strengthen Support for Urban Indigenous Peoples
OTTAWA, Ontario, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC) welcomes the Government of Canada's investments outlined in Budget 2026 and the opportunities they present to advance shared priorities and improve outcomes for Indigenous Peoples living in urban communities across Canada.
The investments outlined in Budget 2026 align with many of the priorities NAFC identified in its pre-budget submission and present an opportunity to further strengthen the relationship between the Government of Canada and the Friendship Centre network. This includes building on the reach, expertise, and proven impact of Indigenous-led community services through investments in multi-use service spaces, workforce development, Indigenous data sovereignty, and emergency preparedness and response.
Canada's 2026 federal budget sets out $50 billion for Indigenous communities over 10 years
From building homes and repairing water systems to paying for health care and education, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s 2026 federal budget sets aside roughly $50 billion in funding for Indigenous communities over 10 years.
This continues a pattern of substantially elevated federal spending on Indigenous communities and services since the federal Liberals formed government more than a decade ago.
The largest component is about $32 billion over a decade for First Nations housing and infrastructure. Other major commitments cover shorter periods, including funding for schools, children’s services, health benefits, and policing. Several measures would renew or extend existing programs.
The Government of Canada’s new budget announced this past Thursday notes that longer funding commitments would give First Nations communities more flexibility and room to carry out planning.
