CBC TV sent Colleen Jones and cameraman Steve Lawrence to The Blockhouse School Project today, August 16, to learn about the Tiny Studio Raffle.

Colleen found a bigger story than she had expected, and was very interested to learn about our whole project of repurposing an old school, with its many integrated aspects: food, shelter, energy, culture and employment.

She even had a cup of our Blockhouse Spirit Tea, which Meredith served through the front window of the Tiny Studio – the first cuppa of many, depending on who wins the little building in the big draw tomorrow.

The segment aired on CBC News at 5:05 pm tonight.
