Groundbreaking set for new affordable rental homes in St. John's
A new affordable rental housing development in St. John’s is scheduled for a groundbreaking ceremony on September 8. The project matters to local tradespeople because it signals upcoming construction work in the region, although the advisory does not provide details on the unit count, contractor or project value.

The Honourable Chris Tibbs, Minister of Housing and Minister of Social Supports and Well-Being, will take part in a groundbreaking ceremony for a new housing development in St. John’s on Tuesday, September 8.
The announcement will take place at 100 Churchill Avenue at 9:00 a.m. All attendees are asked to wear closed toe shoes as this is a construction site.
Minister Tibbs will join the Honourable Joanne Thompson, federal Minister of Fisheries and Member of Parliament for St. John’s East, as well as members of the Avalon Housing Trust.
