CAW volunteer tradesmen to donate skills to improve First Nations communities - By Tobi Cohen, THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - With an eye toward a brighter future for the country's indigenous peoples, the Canadian Auto Workers and Assembly of First Nations announced Thursday they are teaming up to 'make poverty history' for aboriginal communities through a series of joint infrastructure initiatives.
'It demonstrates to Canadians that it's possible to do good work without government support,' National Chief Phil Fontaine said of the project.
'We see the CAW as one of our allies, if not the strongest ally, in this major, major challenge we face as a country.'
