      Much of the discussion during the Feb. 21 Tiny Homes Working Circle focused on hosting community conversations in Brantford in a few weeks to generate even more public interest in our tiny homes project as well as getting ready for the March 7 working circle, which will include a consultation with BetterStreet founder Tony D’Amato Stortz, who “wrote the book on building tiny homes.”

      During the discussion, it was decided that two community conversations should be hosted during the last week of March to help the group discover more people who would be interested in helping get the tiny-home pilot project off the ground and would be willing to bring their strengths and talents to the table.

      With this approval in place and land already secured in Brantford, participants of the Feb. 8 Tiny Homes Working Circle are now looking at ways to develop criteria to help determine candidates that would be the best match for the first phase in this tiny-home living initiative.
