Webinar Description
The Indigenous Homes Innovation Initiative, an innovative housing program launched under the Impact Canada umbrella, selected 24 projects from 342 applications, to participate in the Accelerator Phase for up to 18 months to refine their ideas. Projects that successfully fulfill the evaluation criteria will move to implementation. The program, delivered through CANDO, began in January 2020 with an intensive four-day workshop that introduced project leads and co-leads to MASS Design Group’s Planning for Indigenous Impact methodology for planning housing projects.
In this webinar, Olive Crane, Co-Lead for Abegweit First Nation’s passive solar housing will share how they are using the Project Assessment Tool and MASS Design Group methodology to refine their ideas.
