Future House 2026 was a great success! Kudos to all the vendors, sponsors, volunteers and donors who helped make it a wonderful day.
We’re top of the Google search and the ONLY local homeshow dedicated exclusively to green products and services. Thinking of installing solar panels? buying an electric car? changing from a gas furnace / air conditioner combo to an energy saving heat pump? All these questions and more will be answered.
Vendors, a silent auction, presentations, and a children’s area will bring happy smiles. See you next March!

Cheque Presentation

Silent Auction
Last year’s offerings included an Ecobee Smart Thermostat, a gift certificate from Sparkling Green cleaning Services, several photography books by Mark Zelinski, a gift certificate for landscaping design from Sean James Design… Who knows what this year’s vendors will offer
