The New Brunswick government is making a significant investment of $276,000 in a groundbreaking new initiative designed to train carpenters and build homes in Fredericton’s north side. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick and the Carpenter Millwright College of NB, which have developed a comprehensive one-year carpentry training program. The program is structured to accept 15 dedicated participants who will undergo extensive training in carpentry skills. Upon completion of the program, these participants will contribute to the community by constructing five new homes that will be provided to low-income families, thereby addressing both the skill development of the individuals and the housing needs of the community.
