🏘️ In Episode 27, Housing How-To, Mitchell Scott invites us first into his dream home, and then to envision a world where more of us were able to live in homes and communities that embodied our values.

We are then taken to community housing projects in Rossland and Fernie in a “Tale of Two Towns,” where we get to know the people and visions behind change happening at the municipal level.

Then, in Meadow Creek, Kaslo, Procter, and South Slocan to meet Kootenay entrepreneurs who are using innovative solutions to address housing.
