Bruce Power has donated $30,000 to Habitat for Humanity in support of new home builds for low-income families in Bruce and Grey counties.
Bruce Power was honoured to join other supporters at the Home Dedication Ceremony of two Neyaashiinigmiing families as they moved into their new Habitat home. With Bruce Power’s assistance, Habitat for Humanity Grey Bruce has built houses in Hanover, Port Elgin, Tobermory, and in the communities of the Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation. Each new homeowner is required to invest 500 hours of ‘sweat equity’ during the building of their new home.
“Bruce Power believes strongly that every family deserves a place they can call home,” said John Peevers, Bruce Power’s Director of Community and Media Relations and Economic Development. “Helping local families acquire safe and affordable housing is something we’re very proud to be a part of, and that’s why we support Habit for Humanity’s amazing work every year.”
Beyond funding dollars, Bruce Power supports and encourages employees to invest their own sweat equity on build projects, alongside other community partners and volunteers.
“This hands-on experience really makes the gift of giving personal for volunteers, our employees and the company,” Peevers said.
