Infrastructure Planning Guide and Toolkit

The purpose of the Infrastructure Planning Guide and Toolkit (Guide and Toolkit) is to support First Nations with infrastructure planning so that it helps achieve the community’s vision and goals.


​By following the Guide and Toolkit, you will help the community ensure its infrastructure helps achieve the community’s vision and goals. In terms of tangible outputs, this Guide and Toolkit will help you generate a list of infrastructure needs for the community. For each identified infrastructure need, you will be able to:


  • Show how it helps the community achieve its vision and goals
  • Provide information needed to undertake infrastructure feasibility studies


​Once the community has this list of infrastructure needs, the community can then move forward with more detailed infrastructure planning.


The tools contained in the PDF of the Infrastructure Planning Guide and Toolkit are also available in editable format (Word or Excel). Please find all documents in this zipped folder.
