The last day of the build is always a great day. The afternoon is reserved for the closing ceremonies with the families receiving their homes. This is always a strong reminder of the great things that Habitat for Humanity accomplishes. Words cannot describe seeing a family prepare to receive their home. These moments make every ache and pain disappear quickly, and serve as great motivation to plan the next build.


Our team has a tradition of placing a Toonie in the home for good luck on each build




A big thank you to the Danielle at Sandy Hill Dental Center for the donation to Habitat for humanity Paraguay

    It is always VERY nice to see how happy and emotional the families are at the end of the week! So rewarding as a fellow team member.... Jane Marie
