The South Okanagan chapter is preparing to build it’s second home this spring in Penticton. Building upon the lessons learned from its first build in 2007, Habitat is looking forward to partnering with Okanagan College this spring. Students from the carpentry program will be bringing the house up to lock-up stage but many volunteers are still needed to complete the building and landscaping. The following Video will explain the next program and family. http://www.habitatsouthokanagan.ca/movies/habitatnew.mov
Unfortunately the modern design proposed by Architect Cal Meiklejohn cannot be used with the building scheme restrictions for the new lot, but Habitat is looking to incorporate sustainable building practices and products as outlined in the “Built Green” program (www.builtgreencanada.ca).
Flywheel Building Solutions is proud to donate $400 towards this build plus assisting in the design and project coordination.
If you would like to learn more about Habitat for Humanity or volunteer please go to http://www.habitatsouthokanagan.ca . Habitat is also looking for gifts-in-kind, particularly towards “green” products.
