Chestermere, AB – Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta kicked off the fourth annual Industry Build, presented by Ovintiv. From May 25-29, more than 100 energy and business professionals will trade laptops and boardrooms for power tools and the construction site, helping to build affordable homes in Chestermere’s Dawson’s Landing.
Through financial support and hands-on construction, Industry Build sponsors are making a tangible difference in the lives of hardworking Alberta families. Collectively, participating companies have raised more than $125,000 in support of affordable homeownership.
This year’s sponsors include: Ovintiv, Country 105.1, QR77, Teine Energy, ATCO Energy, TC Energy, NorthRiver Midstream, ARC Resources, Amazon.
“Affordable housing is built through shared effort. When we act on our values, roll up our sleeves and put in the work, progress is possible. Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity reflects what industry and volunteers can achieve together—helping build a secure future and a safe place to call home for those who need it most,” says Rachel Moore, Executive Vice President, Corporate Services at Ovintiv.
“Industry Build was created to give Alberta-based companies a meaningful, hands-on way to make a difference in housing affordability right here at home. It’s about bringing people together—not just to raise funds, but to be part of the solution and help build stronger communities,” Gerrad Oishi, President & CEO Habitat Southern Alberta.
These homes will provide families with the opportunity to build stronger, more stable futures through affordable homeownership, while representing a $9.6 million investment in new affordable housing to Chestermere. Each home features three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms and an energy-efficient and climate resilient design.
Homes in Chestermere are slated to be completed by the end of 2027. Families purchase their homes through Habitat’s no down payment, interest-free mortgages with affordable monthly payments customized to each family’s income, enabling them to build financial stability and independence.
