Inspiring future Homebuilders in the South Okanagan

The CHBA BC Homebuilders Initiative continues to help inspire the next generation of home builders in the South Okanagan. Thanks to the leadership of CHBA South Okanagan, three high schools in the region, Summerland Secondary, Princess Margaret Secondary, and L.V. Rogers Secondary, have each received $5,500 to support the purchase of essential materials and equipment for their trades programs. This funding enables students in South Okanagan to gain hands-on experience with the tools and training they need to build rewarding careers in the residential construction industry. 

Supporting these programs helps ensure we’re growing a skilled local workforce to meet the housing needs of the growing region. CHBA South Okanagan’s partners at Penticton Home Hardware Building Centre have offered additional support through their trade account program and contributed another $2,500 to each Okanagan school!
