Tiny homes village for veterans officially opens

A new cluster of tiny homes in the city’s southeast will do more than provide housing for homeless military veterans, says a general who at one time commanded some of these individuals.

The housing will also be a reminder to those ex-soldiers of their earliest days of service and the camaraderie available to them, said Brig.-Gen. Stephen Lacroix, who commands the 3rd Canadian Div.

“If you look at the setup of the village, it’s not a fluke. It’s deliberate attempt to reproduce what soldiers know,” said Lacroix, while gazing at the 15 homes arranged around a flagpole where a Canadian flag snapped in a brisk wind.
