Today, the required amount of homes stands at 269. • Alberta Infrastructure is serving as a Construction Manager and is managing the project on behalf of the Government of Alberta and Town of Slave Lake. • Housing and Urban Affairs will procure the units and in collaboration with the Town, will determine the priority for interim homes to be allocated.

  12. Interim Housing Project vs. Normal Timelines

  13. Project Notes • Safety is our main concern as construction occurs in residential areas: • Phased process ensures that there will be separation between units being occupied and units being installed. • Utility hookups will take place in areas adjacent to occupied units, placing a barrier between residents and heavy equipment. • Security fencing will be erected. • Wherever possible, local contractors and labor is used. We have been successful to date in recruiting local companies. • Town officials are engaged in every step of the process and meet weekly with project personnel for updates.
