VANCOUVER The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted many Canadians to re-evaluate their housing and work
arrangements, spurring some to think not big, but tiny.
Pamela Robertson builds tiny homes in Gibsons on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast and said she couldn’t keep up with requests for quotes after the pandemic hit.
“Everybody wanted a tiny home that was built in stock and I build to order,” said Robertson, whose tiny homes on wheels are inspected to meet the Canadian Standards Association specifications for recreational vehicles.
While many people are dreaming of making the move, Robertson warns that building code requirements and regional rules can pose major hurdles.
