Could the environmental cost of home demolition be stopped by giving functional homes a second life somewhere else? The shíshálh Nation and Renewal Development are answering that question through their collaboration in relocating 10 existing homes in Port Moody, BC to shíshálh territory—cutting costs, reducing waste, and building community. Faced with BC’s recent upzoning laws, which have triggered mass demolitions, “rescued” homes—instead of being bulldozed—will make a journey up the coast to be used once again as a residential living space. In the latest addition to the The Tyee’s #WhatWorks series, sponsored by Magic Canoe, filmmaker Quinn Kelly captures how this powerful collaboration is giving homes a second life and challenging our society’s prevalent demolition-first mindset.
