History:

Kettle and Stony Point First Nation began solving its own housing issues in the 1980s with the introduction of construction trades training courses, partnering with Lambton College to train First Nation carpenters which has meant the steady improvement of its housing standards, better quality housing, and less reliance on outside contractors.
