Students in Hapnot Collegiate’s construction course recently saw the first ice shack they built moved out of the classroom.

The ice shack will be taken across the ice to Camp Whitney later this winter.

Colin Davis teaches the Grade 12 Intro to Trades Advanced Applied Construction class.

He says the students have learned about the fundamentals of housing construction and have been applying them in the building of four ice shacks.

“They are basically mini houses, and they have been selling quickly,” said Davis. “In fact, we only have one left.”
