A holistic home building project aimed at addressing the needs of the trainees in construction safety, trades training and hands-on experience for young adults interested in becoming apprentices. By involving skilled journeymen from our nations in the building of Tiny Homes, this project seeks to address homelessness and provide exposure to various trade opportunities allowing apprentices to make informed choices for their futures.
*Please note: All of T.C.E.T.S.A.’s I.S.E.T. Sub Agreement Holders are located throughout the North-Eastern section of the Treaty Six borders within Alberta.
To align with these elements, TCETSA innovatively created this pilot program and coordinated the Tiny Home project in collaboration with the following partners:
Kehewin Cree Nation was the first site and had a total of 7 participants involved in the project. The second site commenced training on March 13, 2017, with 13 participants in Kikino Metis Settlement with a completion date of May 5, 2017.
Plans are to build more Tiny Homes in Whitefish Lake First Nation, Cold Lake First Nations, Beaver Lake Cree Nation, and Heart Lake First Nation in 2017-2018.
