Sandra Burkholder says:
There are about 20 or so in Canada by our research..there's one currently in construction in Southern Ontario, www.windchasers.ca ...about 8 known in BC (including ours www.darfieldearthship.com permitted and in the roof stage). There are several near Creston, B.C., we've been to the one in Nanaimo, have heard of one near Silver Star in Vernon, rumours of two in northern BC. The one near Bancroft is owned by the Potters, yes, open but must pay. The Potters were one of the first in Canada. Oh, there is also one currently in construction near Prince Albert, SK Google ecoArk Saskatchewan for the site, Mandy and Thomas Porter.

Wendy Chivers says:
Yes Slocan Valley, Falkland, Kamloops, Vernon All B.C. These are the ones I know about. I'm sure there are plenty across the country though. My partner used to build them!

Earthship Build British Columbia, Canada Day 16

Canada Earthship Network: earthship.com/canada

The Earthship project in Canada is starting to now look like two homes. The crew is in their final stages of completion.

British Columbia Canada Earthship

The interior work inside of the rooms of the Earthships are almost complete, and the glass for the greenhouse is installed. The greywater planter has been started meaning the holes are dug inside of the greenhouse and most of the plumbing is finished. The greywater planter will be lined with plastic on the following day. The crew is pleased since they did not hit a lot of rock while digging the planter. That was a concern because it is really rocking there and that could have been an issue. Also the corresponding water organizing module is installed.

Earthship Build British Columbia, Canada Day 4

The construction of two Earthships in British Columbia, Canada is still going well, productive and on or ahead of schedule. It rains everyday so far, but they haven't experienced any big rain issues. So far all of the tire pounding and laying is almost complete on both buildings. The wall with the plumbing hook ups and the front support of the greenhouse is complete, on the little building. Rainwater catchment cisterns are also being placed.

There are hardly any restaurants or stores on the island and since the crew has increased the population by 60 people there has been a shortage of food and beer. Mike said they have wild sheep running lose on the island and they were so hungry the night before they debating "hitting one for road kill."

Day One: Canada Ideal Location, Ideal Building Conditions?

Today is day one of starting construction on building two Earthships located on a little, remote island off of British Columbia, Canada. Traveling and building a home, even when it is sustainable, stills proves to have its own challenges. The location typically does not have consistent power, water, or flushing toilets. This is ideal for an Earthship owner when complete, but challenging for the crew building and camping out on the site, and this wasn't the first challenge.

Work and learn alongside Michael Reynolds and the Earthship Crew on a new project off the west coast of British Columbia. We will accept 40 interns for this project. Due to the undeveloped nature of the island, interns must travel to the site by ferry without a car and be prepared to camp on the site for the duration of their stay. Camp sites for all trainees are available on the job site.
