Dear editor:

I’d like to call on the members of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s home building community to match, or exceed, the actions of a NOTL-based builder, Centennial Homes.

The company and its sub trades have announced the donation to Habitat for Humanity Niagara of four townhouse units in Thorold South.

Clearly we have the financial horsepower here in town to rise to the occasion.

Names such as Gatta Homes, Solmar Development Group and Hummel Properties immediately spring to mind as movers and shakers to form a group, with others if required, to head and execute this worthy and rewarding endeavour.

Perhaps as support the town could donate a portion of its surplus land to such a project.

Let’s hear what people and builders think of this idea.
