To fulfill our Mission and achieve our Vision, the list of issues to be addressed is very lengthy. Canadians for Properly Built Homes has selected the projects below to demonstrate problems at all three levels: federal, provincial and municipal. Additional projects are added on a regular basis.  Once a particular project has been resolved, this web-site will be updated to communicate the resolution of the issue/project.

If you agree that the projects that appear on this Current Projects list need to be addressed, you are strongly encouraged to get involved in helping us to make the necessary changes related to them.  Suggestions regarding how you can help to effect change are indicated on the individual project pages below.  

Please send us your ideas for issues/projects that need to be addressed in order to achieve our Mission and Vision by e-mailing your suggestions to us at: info@canadiansforproperlybuilthomes.com.
