Kettle & Stony Point – Completed 2022

June 11, 2020 – It was an exciting day as Habitat for Humanity Sarnia/Lambton held a groundbreaking ceremony in Kettle & Stony Point First Nations. As the shovels went into the ground, it marked the beginning of 4 Habitat homes on Eagle Drive that will start development next week, to be finished mid 2021.

Elm Ave – Completed Oct 2019

This whole-home renovation at 601 Elm Avenue (at East Street) is now complete. The workforce for this project mainly consists of teams from County of Lambton – Ontario Works program. The dedication from these teams, along with our Habitat staff and numerous community volunteers has been tremendous. Watch for the Key Ceremony coming soon for the LaForge family.

Murray St – Completed Dec 2019

Our fifth partnership build with Lambton County Developmental Services…this time at 411 Murray Street in Corunna. This is our first “down-River” build and we are enjoying introducing Habitat to Corunna and the surrounding community. Slated for completion in late November, Murray Street will soon be home to two more individuals in our community with developmental delays and their caregiver.

College & Davis – Completed 2022

September 15, 2021 – The two homes on the corner of College Ave and Davis street are coming along quite nicely. The third will begin in the next month or two. Due to the covid-19 lockdown, we were unable to have a groundbreaking ceremony. Look for the two homes to be completed this winter with the third to follow shortly after.

Building strength, stability & independence

2019 was another busy year for Habitat Sarnia/Lambton. We completed a whole-home renovation at 601 Elm Avenue (at East Street) for the LaForge family. 

In addition to completing that build, we cosntructed our fifth partnership build with Lambton County Developmental Services…this time at 411 Murray Street in Corunna. This is our first “down-River” build and the introduction of Habitat to Corunna and the surrounding community has been a wonderful experience for all involved. After be completed in the Fall, Murray Street is now home to two more individuals in our community with developmental delays and their caregiver. Habitat Sarnia/Lambton remains grateful to Nadine and Doug Lazenby for the donation of the land for this build.

The balance of 2019 included another whole home renovation on Bright Street in Sarnia.
