Passive Buildings Canada and Passive House Canada join forces with Passive House Accelerator to present Resilience in Canada. The event showcases Passive House solutions that meet Canada’s critical housing needs. Moderated by Habit Studio’s Lorrie Rand, this stellar panel will feature practitioners who helped usher in such key projects as:
Nuutsumuut Lelum, a 25-unit affordable housing community for Indigenous families, youth, and elders in Nanaimo, British Columbia;
Doig River Cultural Centre, a community building that is the northernmost Passive House in North America; and
Indwell’s portfolio of affordable, supportive Passive House buildings in Ontario
