Paddle Prairie Housing Project
The Paddle Prairie Housing Project is focused on providing sustainable, quality housing solutions for the community. With an emphasis on energy efficiency and modern design, it aims to create safe and resilient homes that meet the long-term needs of residents.
Featured Project
Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement Housing Project
Project Overview
The construction of seven new homes is underway, including five detached homes and two duplexes. These homes are designed to meet energy-efficient standards and will serve as a model for sustainable housing in Indigenous communities.

Retrofit Projects at Paddle Prairie
The Retrofit Projects at Paddle Prairie focus on upgrading existing homes with energy-efficient technologies. These improvements enhance sustainability, reduce energy costs, and ensure long-term comfort and resilience for the community’s residents.
GICB Project
Communiplex Energy Efficiency Retrofit (GICB Project)
The Government of Canada’s Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program is supporting energy-efficient retrofits at the Paddle Prairie Communiplex. The retrofits focus on reducing the building’s energy consumption, improving insulation, upgrading HVAC systems, and incorporating energy-efficient lighting.

Elder and Disabled Member Homes Retrofit (Pre-EnerGuide Assessments)
Pre-EnerGuide assessments are being conducted on 95 Elder and Disabled member homes within the Settlement. These assessments will guide retrofits aimed at improving energy efficiency, with a focus on reducing energy bills, increasing comfort, and ensuring sustainability for vulnerable Settlement members. Over 70 assessments have been completed and the Settlement’s contractors are in the process of ordering energy efficient materials to begin the retrofit component.
