Two homes that were slated for demolition to make way for a new development in Esquimalt have been gifted to a Vancouver Island First Nation.
The Songhees Nation decided that the two single-family homes at 815 and 825 Selkirk Ave. would be gifted to two families via a lottery.One of the two homes is pictured being moved.
"With a housing crisis across the region directly impacting our community, this opportunity to move upcycled homes onto [the] Songhees reserve is a welcome one," he said.
"We are honored to partner with the Songhees Nation and contribute to the wellbeing of their community," said Troy Grant, managing partner of TLA Developments.
