Канададағы Тұрғын үй Салу Қозғалысының Тарихы

Habitat for Humanity Canada (HFHC, also known as Habitat Canada; ) is a non governmental, and non profit housing organization in Canada, being the Canadian arm of the global Habitat for Humanity. The Habitat for Humanity movement spread to Canada in 1985, with the first Canadian build taking place in Winkler, Manitoba. HFHC has since grown to 50 affiliates in all 13 provinces & territories, with each affiliate being managed by a local board of directors. HFHC has been in all ten provinces since 1998 (the final province being Quebec),

Since its founding, HFHC has successfully provided over 3,800 families with safe, decent, and affordable housing. The world’s first ReStore was opened by Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg in 1991.

It is based in London, serves the eastern portion of Southwestern Ontario, namely Brant, Elgin, Lanark, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, and Perth County. HFHHO was established in 1993 as Habitat for Humanity London, renamed to Habitat for Humanity Oxford Middlesex Elgin in 2012 after expanding into those counties, and finally becoming Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario upon its acquisition of the Stratford Perth affiliate in 2014. In 2021, the organization would also expand into Brant Norfolk. As of January 2021, Heartland merged with Habitat for Humanity Brant Norfolk, adding another 2 already established stores to their network located in Brantford and Simcoe respectively. The McGill University Campus Chapter of Habitat Quebec, formed in February 1998, is one of twelve Habitat for Humanity campus chapters in Canada. On October 17, 2006, Montreal's ReStore was opened at 7177 Newman Boulevard in LaSalle, becoming the 50th ReStore opened in Canada and the 1st in the province of Quebec. Initially, unlike the ReStore shops in the rest of Canada, the Montreal outlet did not accept donations from the general public. "We want to sell quality goods to people, so, for now, we're relying on corporate donations," Rotman explained for The Gazette. Also that month, Habitat Montreal had built three homes. "It costs about $75,000 to build a house, plus all the donated labour and materials," Rotman said. Rotman was optimistic that the new ReStore will generate "a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year" allowing the local Habitat group to step up the pace of construction to two houses a year. ReStore Montreal was closed on August 24, 2009, and reopened at 4399 Notre Dame Street W, three times the size, on September 8. In August 2010, for a fourth consecutive year, TD participated in a Habitat for Humanity Montreal project by donating $10,000. On August 11 and 12, approximately 30 TD employees helped build a duplex on 5096 5098, Sainte Clotilde in Saint Henri district. On September 25, 2010, Habitat for Humanity Montreal held its first ever Party in the Park event, at Parc Gadbois in the Saint Henri district. In November 2010, Isabel St Germain Singh became CEO of Habitat for Humanity Montreal. Charles Lafortune was named as its new spokesperson, in a ceremony held at ReStore, on July 7, 2011. On November 15, 2011, two renovations projects in the borough of Mercier–Hochelaga Maisonneuve began. Habitat Montreal organized the first annual fundraising gala on May 17, 2012, at the Montreal Delta Centre Ville. The second fundraising gala was organized at Windsor Hotel (Montreal) on May 1, 2014. The fashion gala was given at the Windsor by the Maison Marie Saint Pierre for the profit of Habitat of Humanity. On January 24, 2013, Habitat Montreal ReStore was re launched.

Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward Island, based in Charlottetown, was founded in 1996. Habitat PEI had built 35 houses from 2001 to 2011 in the province, but never west of Summerside at the time. Habitat for Humanity Newfoundland and Labrador, based in St. John's, was incorporated in May 1994. In 2012, Habitat Newfoundland sent its first Global Village Team to Thailand.

Habitat for Humanity in New Brunswick is operated by regional affiliates rather than a single provincial. Habitat for Humanity Fredericton Area serves Greater Fredericton; Habitat for Humanity Moncton serves southeastern New Brunswick; and Habitat for Humanity Saint John Region serves the Greater Saint John area. In 1996, Canada’s 200th Habitat for Humanity home was built in Moncton. In 2011, the organization became Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia, a provincial affiliate of Habitat for Humanity Canada.

Construction of the first Habitat for Humanity homes in the Northwest Territories began in June 2014, marking HFHC's presence in all 3 Canadian territories. The second home was built in 2009 with the assistance of 3 more Global Village teams.

Habitat for Humanity Yukon (HFHY) was given official affiliate status in September 2004, with Todd Hardy as a founding member and the first President.
