He said the government wants to make investments in the community.

PIKANGIKUM, Ont. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising a remote northwestern Ontario reserve help with a housing shortage that the chief says is worse than ever.

Trudeau said during a visit to Pikangikum First Nation that Ottawa is serious about working with the community to improve its housing.

He said more and better housing in Indigenous communities is one of his government’s priorities.

Earlier in the day, Pikangikum Chief Dean Owen said the backlog of homes needing to be built on the reserve is almost twice as much as it was when he became chief.
