About

Our Mission

MBDC was established in 2004 by Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training. MBDC’s mission is to serve as a vehicle for the economic advancement and self-sufficiency of the Indigenous community in the Greater Toronto Area. MBDC focuses on providing funding opportunities for affordable rental development, downpayment assistance, and rental supports and support services through community partnerships.
