On behalf of Cando and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities we would like to thank all First Nation-municipal applicants to CEDI Phase III. With resources to support only eight First Nation-municipal partnerships, the CEDI program was overwhelmed with twenty-eight joint applications from 34 First Nations (including one Tribal Administration) and 34 local governments (including municipalities, counties, and regional districts) from across Canada.
