About our Workshops

We offer timber frame and woodworking workshops to empower First Nation and remote communities with skill development.   

Why Participate?

If you are seeking to develop your housing situation using your own resources and generate skilled workers with employment opportunities we offer a program that supports this vision. These workshops are seeking to empower individuals and the community as a whole to face the housing crisis and bring people together for the cause.

Benefits

This Workshop will offer the following benefits: 

1. It is life changing picking up new skills that you can offer in your community. We love seeing people gain confidence and find value in what they can do with their skills. This can ripple out in many ways through someone’s life.

2. With the skilled workers, the knowledge and the tools this course can help aid communities in being one step closer to developing their own housing and infrastructure. There is a lot of work being outsourced rather than being invested within skill development within the community and we wish to be a part of changing that.

3. Instead of being completely reliant on external resources we want to empower communities with the ability to build by harvesting their own building materials from their land. This can make development more affordable and bring more jobs to the community. 

Building a better future

This courses add value to the participants lives so that they can in turn give back to the community. The big theme for our vision is to empower people so they can build for a better future. These building practices can be applied in many ways. If you wish to develop your infrastructure, create work opportunity and open your horizons of industry we can help make those first steps.
