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 200 volunteers, dozens of community-minded businesses, friends, family, and neighbours, to give the selected recipients a fresh start in a safe and comfortable environment.

This year's repair began on May 14, 2010 with the finishing touches ten days later on May 24. Homeowners made alternate living arrangements during this time; giving workers needed elbow room, and setting the stage for a jaw-dropping reveal when the family returned home.
