Olympic Legacy Affordable Housing

As part of an innovative Olympic Legacy Affordable Housing project, Britco partnered with the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and BC Housing to design and manufacture temporary accommodations used by almost 600 officials in Whistler Athletes’ Village during the Winter Olympics. After the Games, the units were disassembled and relocated to five communities across British Columbia where they were reconfigured as permanent social housing facilities.

The 74 modules were converted to 156 new social housing units in Chilliwack, Enderby, Saanich, Sechelt and Surrey. New units were also built and shipped directly to Chetwynd for low-income seniors’ housing under this program.
