Cacross Tagish First Nation hopes for partnership with construction company
Apprentice carpenters who worked on a tiny-house building project last year may have the opportunity to take part in the construction of a new multi-functional learning centre planned by their government, the Carcross Tagish First Nation.
Nelson Lepine, director of infrastructure for the First Nation, says he’s currently in talks with construction companies about a partnership that would employ the 15 apprentices.
The carpenters have been learning their trade through an initiative started by the First Nation — the tiny house project — organized by Thomas Shepherd.
