You’ve come a long way, builders.
By Pat St. Germain
“There have been so many innovations over the years. I think that’s what brings people out a lot of times to the Parade every year.”
When the Manitoba Home Builders’ As sociation (MHBA) was conceived in 1937, its founders — Frank Lount, Henry Borg er, Walter Senicki, Henry Pehrson, Frank Mager and A. W. Hagg — were ahead of the curve. The first such provincial associa tion, it even preceded the Canadian Home Builders’ Association by six years. MHBA members are still breaking new ground 80 years later, and showcasing the latest and greatest home designs each spring and fall during the Parade of Homes. “There have been so many innovations over the years,” says MHBA president Mike Moore. “I think that’s what brings people out a lot of times to the Parade every year. There’s always something new that they look at and go, ‘What a great thing.’ ”
