\u201cThe 2024 Training House project is a collaborative effort between Thompson Rivers University (TRU), the Canadian Home Builders Association Central Interior, and generous sponsors like CSI \u2013 All Things Stone. This initiative, now in its 34th year, benefits both our organizations and the community through the YMCA BC programs funded by the Dream Home lottery proceeds.<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n

\nCSI's support is crucial for the success of our endeavor.

CSI's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation aligns perfectly with the goals of our Training House project, where quality materials and expertise are essential. Additionally, CSI's willingness to invest in the future of our industry by supporting education and training programs for aspiring tradespeople resonated strongly with us.

Additionally, the stone's style, color range, and texture complement our interior palette, enhancing the visual appeal of the space while maintaining the desired atmosphere. It was important for us to find a stone that not only matched our vision but also offered durability and quality, making CSI the ideal choice for our stone needs<\/span><\/em>...\"<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u201cThis unique community project, now in its 34th year, is especially beneficial to River City Rock Products as we get to support first-year residential construction students at Thompson Rivers University, providing them with the opportunity to gain hands-on building experience through the YMCA Dream Home. The students do the foundation and rough in work and the home is finished with Canadian Home Builders' Association member contractors. The contractors, if not already, get to use our products and the students get the opportunity to see our products and experience our service. This is one of the proudest partnerships we have built over our years of business...\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\nWorking with CSI was a fantastic experience that positively impacted the project's installation schedule. Both the mason and builder were very pleased with the availability and delivery of the stone. We can't wait to collaborate on next year's YMCA Dream Home!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n
