Fisher River Cree Nation, Manitoba – July 25, 2024 – The Fisher River Cree Nation is thrilled to announce the acquisition of The Rubin Block building in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This historic building will be transformed into a modern multi-family transitional complex, providing safe transitional housing for families in need.

The purchase of The Rubin Block was made possible through the generous support of several key funding partners, including the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), the Government of Manitoba, the National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Initiative (NICHI), Fisher River Cree Nation and the First Nation Healing Centre.

“We are deeply grateful to our funding partners for their commitment to supporting vulnerable families.” said Chief David Crate of the Fisher River Cree Nation.

The Rubin Block, a historic building dating back over a century, will undergo extensive restoration work. The goal is to have approximately a dozen units available in the building.

Work on the restoration of The Rubin Block is already underway, and the Fisher River Cree Nation is committed to completing the project in a timely manner.
