The Federal Government is out with more money for infrastructure projects in First Nations communities.Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt says funding of 155-million dollars over 10-years will be allocated under the First Nation Infrastructure Fund starting in 2014-2015.
It's part of the 2-billion dollar Canadian Gas Tax Fund.
The money will go to five main areas including energy, solid waste, planning and skills development, roads and bridges and connectivity.
