Paul Latour is the founder of Hero Work, a program that inspires all sectors of community to come together and complete extreme renovations for non-profits who’ve been making a difference for years.
Never in his wildest dreams had he thought he’d be organizing extreme home makeovers. “The first one was done almost on a whim,” he says. “I did it to help a friend in need.” Then the power of friendship and community took hold. When the one-day event was over, a $25,000 reno was done.
Ignited by making a radical difference, he did another makeover–this one five times bigger. A non-government funded charity–the Casa Maria Emergency Housing Society, who shelters refugee families–received a weekend extreme renovation worth upwards of a $100K.
A few of Hero Work’s one hundred-plus sponsors include: Castle Building Supply, Rona Home and Garden, Thrifty Foods, Six Mile Furniture, Garden City Landscaping, Maclean Lighting, and the Kitchen Technician. Seen on Chek, A-Channel, etc..
