Renovation guru Mike Holmes to tackle aboriginal housing
Renovation guru Mike Holmes
Mike Holmes is about to wield his hammer to improve some of Canada’s aboriginal housing. Holmes and the Assembly of First Nations are working on a pilot project to build new housing units and retrofit some existing homes on a reserve.
They’re also planning to set up a centre where aboriginal community planners can learn how to build sustainable and environmentally friendly housing.
Holmes says he wants to help address the “neglect and poor conditions for housing” on many First Nations.
A location for the project, which was announced at the assembly’s annual meeting in Winnipeg, is to be chosen in the next few weeks.
The renovation guru and his team tackle shoddy workmanship in people’s houses on a weekly television show on HGTV called Holmes on Homes.
