At the household level, real estate often represents the largest portion of household wealth, and in 2024 alone, rising <\/strong><strong>housing values added approximately $213 billion to Canadian household net worth. These figures highlight how housing is a key <\/strong><strong>driver of financial well-being and intergenerational wealth transfer in Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For Indigenous Peoples, however, housing and land are not merely economic assets. They represent home, identity, community, and <\/strong><strong>an ongoing relationship to the land. This webinar does not seek to oppose Indigenous perspectives on land with market-based views <\/strong><strong>that focus solely on property value. Rather, its purpose is to provide Indigenous entrepreneurs and individuals with a practical <\/strong><strong>understanding of how Canadian tax rules apply to housing and land, and how those rules can create real and tangible impacts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The session Will:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Explain the Principal Residence Exemption<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Review the eligibility criteria and key considerations<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Discuss how section 87 of the Indian Act may further refine the tax treatment of housing and land<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This webinar aims to support informed decision-making while respecting Indigenous values.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> This webinar is designed with CCIB members <\/strong><strong>in mind, while also welcoming anyone curious about housing, wealth, and the Indigenous relationship to land and home.
