John Gormley from 650 CKOM speaks to our Chief Executive Officer, Denis Perrault today to discuss all things amazing about our charity! Thanks, John, for giving us that opportunity!  

Some of the important topics they discussed are fundraising, volunteering, and what Habitat is all about.  Habitat is always looking for volunteers to come out to our 3 ReStores and help us by working in our customer service environment.  We are grateful that people in our communities have still supported us and given donations even while we were in a pandemic!

If it wasn’t for volunteers, community partners, and donations from people in our communities, our dream of helping people in need of safe, decent, and affordable housing would not be possible.

In January of 2021 Habitat Regina, Habitat Saskatoon, and Habitat Prince Albert merged to become one Habitat, Habitat Saskatchewan! The goal is to be able to unify our efforts to serve more families in our communities across the province.  

We hope that this message and our mission hits HOME for you and that you would want to make Habitat your charity of choice.  We value every dollar, every moment we spend helping people in our communities, and every person that comes out to support what we do.  

If you want to know more about us or how you can help, please give us a call at 306-347-4673.

Thanks for listening!

Regina, Saskatchewan, March 10, 2022

Everyone in Canada deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. Affordable housing is key to Canada’s pandemic recovery for communities across the country, including in Regina.Today, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, was joined by Tara Osipoff, Executive Vice-President, Avana, and Nicki Ackerman, CEO of Avana Foundation Inc., to announce a federal investment of $30.8 million to support the construction of new housing through the National Housing Co-investment Fund (NHCF), representing the largest federal investment in affordable housing through the National Housing Strategy (NHS) for the city of Regina.Located on Trombley Street, the three-storey, wood-frame apartment building will be comprised of 116 units, with 39 units of affordable housing dedicated for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Building amenities include 117 electrified surface parking stalls, as well as an onsite turf play area, and a playground in the interior courtyard for children to play.

The building will be owned and operated by Avana Foundation Inc., the non-profit arm of the Avana, a real estate development and property management company based in Regina. Established in 2019, the Avana Foundation Inc. was created to provide affordable housing and give back to the western Canadian communities where they operate.

Construction of the Trombley Street project is currently underway and will begin welcoming residents in spring 2023.

This investment by the Government of Canada was made possible by the National Housing Strategy’s (NHS) National Housing Co-investment Fund (NHCF).
