Sixteen mobile homes are destined for the Northern Alberta community of Fort Chipewyan in an effort to address a shortage of housing in the community.
The Wood Buffalo Housing Development Corporation announced Wednesday it had reached an agreement with the province to deliver the trailers to the northern community.
Ed Shirran, an acting director with the corporation, said the first six homes will be delivered via the community’s winter road in March, and the remaining 10 will be delivered by barge in the spring.
Another four trailers are expected to eventually go to the community of Conklin, about 150 kilometres south of Fort McMurray.
