WRLA VISITS STAR BUILDING & CERTAINTEED FACILITIES
One of the most rewarding parts of being part of the WRLA is knowing that there are so many incredible members across the Prairies. It’s a real privilege, then, to be able to get out of the office and see our members do what they do best.
The WRLA team visited Star Building Materials in Winnipeg on March 23, and went to the CertainTeed gypsum plant on Tuesday, May 2. We got to meet two fantastic teams, and the tours were both fun and informative. We’re hoping to get out to see even more of our members this year—stay tuned for highlights!
Wrla Team Laces Up The Work Boots For Habitat For Humanity
On June 21, the WRLA team will be on-site at a Habitat for Humanity build all day, swinging hammers and donating our time and effort to help build a new home for a deserving family.

This year, the team is excited to be assisting with the Pandora Ave. West project. This is the largest development in the history of Habitat’s 35 years. When complete, there will be 11 blocks of five townhouses each. This will house 275 people, including 175 children. The homes are designed to be exceptionally energy efficient and, when completed, will have a carbon-free zero footprint.
We’ll be sure to post updates on the build to our WRLA social media channels, and give you a recap of the day in our Fall edition of Yardstick.
For more Habitat for Humanity news, don’t miss our feature on “Ride Through The Rockies” which is celebrating its tenth year of cyclists riding to raise funds for Habitat in Alberta. Read the article on page 41.
