The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Central Vancouver Island is showcasing local professional builders and renovators and the communities they create – from the ground up – with Nanaimo’s second annual Parade of Homes.
Taking place Saturday (Sept. 22) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the tour features nine properties including finished homes, renovations, mid construction projects and property for development.
It’s an opportunity for the public to see and ask questions about new homes, renovations, products, technologies, energy efficiencies and design.
Allowing people to see what’s behind the walls, their options available and different types of housing is a new focus this year for the tour.
Participants can start at any location. A one-time fee of $10 per couple provides entry to all of the featured properties.
Participating homes include:
