Now, after 15 months of hard work, including by scores of volunteers, it is a caf\u00e9, a resources centre with other retail space, and four units of affordable rental housing for families. Revenues from the project will support Fernwood NRG's many community programs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"239008\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Cornerstone is also good for the environment, with new geothermal heating. The Cornerstone project shows what a community working together can achieve. I am proud to have it in my riding. This type of project could be a reality across Canada with a national green housing strategy.</p>",

Apr\u00e8s 15 mois de travaux ardus et gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la contribution d'un grand nombre de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles, l'\u00e9difice abrite maintenant un caf\u00e9, un centre de ressources et des espaces destin\u00e9s \u00e0 la vente au d\u00e9tail, ainsi que quatre unit\u00e9s de logement abordable pour des familles. Les recettes du projet permettront de financer de nombreux programmes communautaires de Fernwood NRG.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"239008\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Cornerstone est \u00e9galement un \u00e9difice vert, car il est dot\u00e9 d'un syst\u00e8me de chauffage g\u00e9othermique. Le projet Cornerstone est un bon exemple de ce que peut r\u00e9aliser une collectivit\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la coop\u00e9ration. Je suis fi\u00e8re de dire que ce projet a vu le jour dans ma circonscription. En fait, ce type de projet pourrait \u00eatre r\u00e9alis\u00e9 partout au Canada dans le cadre d'une strat\u00e9gie nationale en mati\u00e8re de logements verts.</p>"
