Kingston’s Habitat for Humanity is offering something no other Habitat for Humanity branch in Canada has ever offered before – woodworking classes.
The not-for-profit organization began offering the courses at a workshop on Baiden Street in Portsmouth Village on Wednesday.
“Most of the people in this room have never even loaded a drill bit into a hand drill before,” Habitat Kingston’s director of special projects, Chris Norman said.

“Now after this two-part course, they will have used every tool in the shop from a simple compound mitre saw, to the best router you can find,” Norman added.
