Elliot Lake Tiny Home Community in the News

Written by Founder on . Posted in Communities, News. 2 Comments on Elliot Lake Tiny Home Community in the News

Recently I was interviewed by Stephen Calverley for ElliotLakeToday.com about our proposed affordable, sustainable, eco-friendly tiny home community in Elliot Lake. With the need for more affordable starter homes, workforce, and seniors’ housing, our community model has the potential to check a lot of boxes. Our engineer is currently working with city staff to develop a site plan that meets development and building code requirements.

If you are a local contractor or supplier looking to support a development, let us know. We are looking to establish solid business relationships, as we work to build affordable communities across northern, central, and southern Ontario.

  • expanded 10,000 sq ft community center including:
    • solar/small wind generation rooftop,
    • commercial kitchen,
    • dining room,
    • coffee shop,
    • lounge,

    • health clinic.
  • gazebos, community gardens (both flower & vegetable), picnic areas, firepits, community parks, greenhouse, community storage units,

Elliot Lake – Concept v1

Written by Founder on . Posted in Communities, Founder's Blog. 37 Comments on Elliot Lake – Concept v1

This is our initial concept for the Elliot Lake development. We are proposing a 96-home development, with a SmartHub community centre, greenhouses, orchards, fruit/vegetable/flower gardens, and lots of community greenspace. While only an early version, we wanted to share the vision. This community is on public transit, will have full municipal services, and be affordable for minimum wage earners.
