PolarBlock Chosen as Climate Resilient Solution in Rebuild
FORM innovations INC’s sustainable building envelope is set to become one of the solutions chosen from an international challenge to rebuild fire ravaged Kanaka Bar. The goal was to find the most climate resilient and sustainable solutions available.
Last June the entire country was shocked when in a matter of hours the town of Lytton, BC burned to the ground. That was the beginning of severe climate events for the region, followed by massive rain, flooding, and extreme cold. The leadership of Kanaka Bar Indian Band took action, and initiated an innovative challenge to help build back better. Led by the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), a collaborative team of participants from Okanagan College, Foresight Canada, and Seko Construction sought to create foundational options for rebuilding in the Lytton region.
