Vancouver Island University
We are proud to have an ongoing partnership with Vancouver Island University. Our Habitat homes in our Meadow Hills community were built with the assistance of VIU Trades and Applied Technology students. Our unique partnership with VIU enables the trades students to participate in a living classroom experience while assisting with our build needs. The students, under the supervision of their instructor, worked on excavating the site, the foundations, framing, roofing, etc. for the houses – all valuable experiences. Additionally, the students learn about the Habitat model and the need for affordable housing in our communities. The students and their instructors volunteered 1,500 hours per house at the Meadow Hill development, receiving hands-on training they wouldn’t get within the classroom walls, a valuable asset on their journey to a viable career.
