Community and Sustainability
The vision for Hiellen Village was to build a self-sustaining business that would benefit the entire community. The project was a collaborative effort brought to life by local carpentry apprentices, a cabinetry program, and a milling crew, using wood milled right here on Haida Gwaii. Our sustainable practices include responsible energy use and water conservation initiatives, such as encouraging 3-minute showers and minimal water use for toilets.
