Extreme Home Repair

Established in 2004, the Extreme Home Repair project annually transforms the home of a local individual or family facing difficult circumstances related to their housing and resources.

The project brings together over 100 volunteers, dozens of community-minded businesses, friends, family, and neighbours, to give the selected recipients a fresh start in a safe and comfortable environment.

The repair begins on the the long weekend in May, and stretches for nine days. Homeowners make alternate living arrangements during this time, giving workers needed elbow room, and setting the stage for a jaw-dropping reveal when the family returns home.
