The B.C. housing ministry has purchased the old Mount Begbie Elementary School site from the Revelstoke Board of Education and is looking to work with the community to develop affordable housing on the site.
Despite our growing housing crisis, Revelstoke still doesn’t have an affordable housing plan. We reached out to representatives and experts in the field of resort community housing to find out what we need to do to get on track.
Revelstoke's Adaptive Homes are based on the principles of energy efficiency, harvesting of water, re-using waste water, off-the-grid renewable energy generation, off-site fabrication, situating the house at the optimum solar aspect for heating and cooling, and the ability to grow food using the recycled water.
