Since our last post so much has happened, and we have so many exciting projects on the go, it’s been hard to keep up on the social media part of the business.
The big news is:
-We passed framing inspection on our first New Build.
-We hired a full time apprentice, Kalum, someone Charlie has known for around 12 years, built furniture and chicken coops with way back then, and stayed with his grandparents while completing his Red Seal at BCIT. He’s also someone every bit as passionate about the environment, and with a specialty in Fish Biology.
It’s rare to have a 19 year old with 12 years on the tools, 2 years of Carpentry schooling, no care for cell phones, and a work ethic of beaver. This is something we don’t take for granted. Kalum is already working on some of the regenerative aspects of our vision too, seeing if there’s anything we can do to help the fish populations in the Sakinaw Lake system, The West Lake system on Nelson Island, and The Gunboat boat bay estuary/ Anderson creek system.
We’ve also started a series of projects and an unofficial mentorship with a veteran Kiwi developer, Mike Flemming who shares our passion for Boating, and, among other projects we’re still learning about, has developed projects as large as 30 million dollar hospitals on the mainland. Opportunities like this, don’t show up every day, and so this also stokes the fire of forward momentum.
We also were able to dabble again with natural building for a hearth and fireplace surrounding, at the Regenerative Developments Headquarters office, constructed with with locally sourced materials including, Clay and Silt from the Pazur’s Farm, aggregate from KER enterprises, and from wheat Michael Pazur grew partly as a joke, so we could eat home grown Yorkshire puddings.
All this is to say, our schedule is full, the vision is burning brighter, and the gratitude is high.
We wish you all the best with this coming River fishing, mushroom foraging and hunting season. If you have projects that aligns with our vision, please don’t be afraid to reach out. Our crew and reach is only seeming to grow as time marches on.
