Ginoogaming First Nation high school students are helping build tiny homes for their community as part of the Indigenous Skilled Trades Training program. The program has brought together students from different high schools to help them gain skills in trades like carpentry and electrical work. Since the program’s conception, students from Hammarskjold High School have built five tiny homes for the Ginoogaming First Nation community, developing their skills while addressing the local housing challenges. “This is an opportunity for students from all of our schools to be part of real-time solutions to housing challenges while gaining hands-on experience in the trades. It helps our students build skills and confidence and allows teachers and school administration to learn more about our people and our children,” said Ginoogaming First Nation’s Chief Sheri Taylor.
