Innovative Community Buildings.
We look forward to celebrating stories behind three innovative community buildings in our area that make a difference to the well being of community members and the planet. Learn more about their inspiration and why they didn't just settle for doing something ordinary.
Nasukin (Chief) Jason Louie will share the story of the Wilfred Jacobs Building, a newly opened centre offering community and health services to members of the yaqan nukiy (Lower Kootenay Band) First Nation, while integrating many cultural and sustainability elements.
Tammy Verigin-Burk, Executive Director of Castlegar Chamber of Commerce, will share about "The Confluence" -- the Castlegar Visitors Centre and Chamber of Commerce building under construction that will operate with 85% less emissions.
Morag Carter, Executive Director of the Skills Centre in Trail, will share about their current project retrofitting a large community building in Trail to create a fully inclusive building that will be the greenest in Trail.
