Housing Infrastructure with Darcy Gray, Mi'gma'gi Project Management and Consulting
It started with helping a Mi'kmaq community deal with a housing backlog.
From there, Darcy Gray has joined a team including FNII to support Paqtnkek Mi'kmaw Nation's goal of expanding its water and wastewater infrastructure.
The community is now developing reserve lands it was denied access to for decades. The south side of the TransCanada Highway #104 east of Antigonish, NS is now home to the award-winning Bayside Travel Centre, with future commercial and residential development in the works.
Darcy sat down with host Richard Perry to talk about his involvement at Paqtnkek and the value of collaboration with FNII.
Recorded in the unceded territory of the Algonquin at Gatineau, QC in November 2023.
