“People tend to sleep in shifts because there’s not enough space for bedrooms or beds to sleep on,” Wayne Anderson, chief operating officer of Norway House Cree Nation, told CTV National News. “Those are the kind of sad stories we hear.” Built on a steel frame, with a heated cavity for electrical and plumbing, the completely contained modular homes can be transported to remote communities easily and made livable in a matter of days.
“No matter what, when this house shows up, you’re good,” Shane Prevost, vice-president of Bison Modular Homes, told CTV National News. “It’s ready to set up, it’s good to go, and it’s very quick to install.”
