Over the past few years, tiny homes have become a popular housing solution around the world. With their lower costs and smaller footprint, these structures are helping to reshape communities. Tiny homes have become a social movement as people look to downsize and live a more sustainable lifestyle.

The general theme of drivers’ feedback?

“Excellent!”

“Super informative!”

“Awesome!”

“Fantastic!”

For many, the EV Test Drive Tour was their first time getting in an EV, let alone driving one.

Krista has been a member of the Corporate Communications team since spring 2021 and is a proud member of the St. Mary’s First Nation.
