Habitat for Humanity

Just a reminder to fellow Bramptonians to check out the Habitat for Humanity's Brampton ReStore, which sells donated reusuable/surplus building materials. Proceeds go towards supporting build projects and administration costs.

If you'd like to learn more about donating or volunteering, check out their web site: Habitat for Humanity Brampton

If you'd like to learn more about residential construction, the Habitat for Humanity University offers a series of free, online courses. (Don't be intimidated. These are very basic.)

• Residential Construction Basics

For a more hands-on approach, Habitat for Humanity Toronto offers a 5 course curriculum (in two formats, either 4 - 2 hour sessions or a single full day session) that provides participants with knowledge and skills practice. It promises to provide good info for your own renovation projects too. Cost is $40 per course. There are also sessions limited to "women only" enrollment.
