Angela DeVries, Chief Executive Officer, St. Thomas & Elgin Home Builders’ Association St. Thomas Elgin Home Builders Association would like to welcome everyone to the STEHBA Home Show. As we look forward to 2025 and the growth of our city and surrounding areas, the Home Show is a great place to connect with local builders, renovators, and vendors. As the president of the St Thomas and Elgin Home Builder’s Association (STEHBA) I would like to personally welcome you to the Home Show and to see what STEHBA offers to our members and the local communities. Over this past year and a half, Angela Devries (CEO of STEHBA) and I have been spending time at meetings and conferences with Government Officials, Developers, Builders, Renovators and trades from across the country and locally, so we can find ways to grow our local association and have a positive impact on the citizens of our communities. We work to create change through advocacy work at the national level through the Canadian Home Builder’s Association, the provincial level through the Ontario Home Builder’s Association, and locally through our City and Counties. As part of each of these associations, we work hand in hand to promote the building and renovation industry and to help create more housing for St. Thomas and Elgin County. As part of our drive to create the next generation of this industry, we pride ourselves in helping future students who choose a path in trades. From scholarships to working with high schools for co-op placements, job site tours, apprenticeships, and job opportunities, we can guide this next generation to our members for them to pursue their careers in the trades. In 2024, we saw over 600 homes being built in the area, including single-home dwellings, multi-generational dwellings, purpose-built rentals, and low-rise to high-rise opportunities for housing. Our goal is to be an advocate for the construction industry in St. Thomas and Elgin and we strive to be a driving force in this change for the future, creating a sustainable environment for the next generation.
