15 dogs in Ebb and Flow First Nation will rest their heads in their own doghouses, custom-built by 30 Carpentry & Woodworking students at Assiniboine Community College.
Building houses for dogs in First Nations communities is the idea and the passion of Brandon real estate agent Zach Munn.
Ebb and Flow is the third community to receive doghouses after Munn first made similar trips to Peguis First Nation and Sapotaweyak Cree Nation.
.
Students were allowed to customize their doghouses with features like extra trim, curtained doors and even the crescent moon that traditionally adorns outdoor biffies.
“Thanks to Assiniboine for all their help. The doghouses were tremendous. They’re really well-built. Kevin and the staff and students at Assiniboine were very supportive to undertake the task they did. I think it’s great to implement trades programs to help charitable causes,” Munn said.
They are being delivered tonight.
