We are back with a bang 💥
The 2027 Training House Kick-off took place today at 1287 Brechin Place in Aberdeen neighborhood of Kamloops.
We had this year’s carpentry program students, who are currently working on the house, striking a pose with Chris Crowell, our President, this year’ Project Manager- Clayton Cooper of Fulcrum Development Inc., and Bryce Coombs, the TRU instructor for this year’s project.
We had MPs Mel Arnold (Mel Arnold MP ) and Frank Caputo (Frank Caputo ) join the students at the kick-off and have a heart-to-heart with the future of the residential construction industry. Thank you so much for being huge supporters of this community-driven initiative.
The students also got a chance to connect with the city councillors. Thank you to the councillors who took time out of their schedule to attend the kick-off.
Thank you -

This whole initiative could not be possible without the incredible support of all the sponsors who not only contribute their materials and products but also their professional expertise and time in getting this house across the finish line. Without their time and effort, this project would not have continued for 37 years.
We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of them.
Thank you to everyone who showed up today. All the students, sponsors, community leaders, and the media. Today was a huge success .🎉
