Together CHBACI and TRU have built a legacy through a shared partnership vision that provides hands-on learning opportunities for Thompson Rivers University trades students, helping train the next generation of skilled professionals. Their strategic alliance allows them to leverage their strengths and resources in a collaborative manner, positively impacting the community.
Referred to as ‘The Training House’ - it acts as a hub that brings together the Kamloops residential construction industry, TRU trades students and CHBACI. The Training House is where theoretical knowledge in the classroom meets bricks and mortar. It is a hands-on learning experience at the construction site.
Upon completion, The Training House is presented to YMCA BC – Kamloops. It is featured as the grand prize in their 2026 Y Dream Home and 5050 Lottery. The proceeds from the lottery stays local and strengthens our community by empowering young people, improving health and well-being and inspiring action.
On behalf of everyone at the Kamloops Y, thank you to the Canadian Home Builders Central Interior (CHBACI) and Thompson Rivers University (TRU) Trades and Technology for their dedication and commitment to making this project a success.
