The Home

The home on Oakwood Drive is our first fully accessible build. The three-bedroom, single-family home features barrier-free entrances, wider doorways, and a stand-up shower.

“It is the perfect home for this multigenerational family. It will give Tracy peace of mind and it will allow Carol-Anne greater freedom of mobility” states Katie Blunt, Executive Director.

The Family

Tracy Poliquin, her mother, Carol-Anne Grisdale, and her daughter, Riddley Proulx became our 12th Habitat Homeowners in December 2020. Click here to learn more!
