Lethbridge College and CHBA - Lethbridge Region Break Ground

LETHBRIDGE — The Canadian Home Builders' Association - Lethbridge Region (CHBA) and Lethbridge College celebrated the start of the second year of The College Home partnership in a groundbreaking ceremony. Along with local builders Avonlea Homes Master Builders and Stranville Living Ltd., the partners broke ground on the next two houses to be built by CHBA builder members, suppliers, and tradespeople to benefit the new trades and technologies facility at Lethbridge College.
In 2013, CHBA and Lethbridge College announced a unique partnership to build two homes per year over five years with proceeds from the sales of each going toward the new trades and technologies facility at the college, which will open in 2017. The first year of the partnership was successful, raising $236,000 through the sale of the first two homes and exceeding the original goal for year one.
Both homes will be unveiled this year at the CHBA's Parade of Homes in Lethbridge, which runs September 13 to 28.
Lethbridge College will further its commitment to promote accessible post-secondary education by donating a $2,500 student award to the buyer of each home.
