Things Are Starting To Roll!

Slow and steady at first but as we move forward the pace will quicken. This blog will be updated frequently as activities develop. Please be sure to check back often.

"Located near Wentworth and Burilington Streets in the Keith neighborhood the Robert Land Public School is the heart and hub of this neighborhood and has been reborn as the Eva Rothwell Resource Centre.

Habitat for Humanity Hamilton is building 8 townhouse units on the former Robert Land School playground." ~ Habitat For Humanity Hamilton pamphlet

We will be participating in Phase One of the build. Phase One consists of the first 4 townhouses to be built starting August 2010 and dedication in December 2010.

Please see the Habitat For Humanity pamphlet for more complete information about the build.

Important Dates:
Currently the build days are scheduled for:
  • Saturday October 16th
  • Saturday October 30th (Family Day)
  • Friday November 5th

Special Activities:

There will be a special Family Day Build on Saturday October 30th with children activities including Home Depot's Little Hammer's program. More information about this day will be posted when it becomes available.

Once we receive more information about the sponsored families there will be many opportunities for members to help provide home decor items. In addition to the home decor items we will be having a used book drive and collecting books for the sponsored families. Sounds interesting? More information to come.

Ambassadors are needed at non-central campus locations to help promote the project by posting information on the CAW bulleting boards, collecting donations and other tasks. If this is something you think you can do for your area contact Delia Hutchinson at x27723 or hutchinATmcmasterDOTca (replace the AT with @ and the DOT with .)
