Yorkton Plumbing & Heating came on board with Habitat for Humanity in 2011/12 with the Elizabeth Project. At that time Merv had connected with Justin Yawney, CEO of Yorkton Plumbing and Heating to ask if he and his company would like to get involved. Justin’s response was “we’d love to”. This was the start of a great relationship.
Next project involvement was the Betts/Dunlop Project. This was Habitat’s Retro Build of a home that was moved from Brodie Avenue. Yorkton Plumbing & Heating stepped up again did all the labour and material on the heating side.
With Habitat’s latest home, “the Myrtle Project”, a duplex which consists of the “Faith in Action & The Hyundai Build”, Merv spoke with Justin again giving him plans and having a conversation about this project as Habitat’s first duplex, and shortly after the conversation Merv received a call back from Justin with YES, again
Evan Johnson, Sales Manager at Yorkton Plumbing and Heating said he is honoured to be partnering with Habitat as he knows the need is there in our community.
Justin was asked what brought him back to Yorkton, the area where he was born and raised in and he said “There is nothing like home in a smaller community, getting out of the hectic life of a big city”. Justin has a strong belief in giving back to community and when the opportunity came up with “Habitat for Humanity” he realized it was a great cause and that every dollar of their contribution went right to the project, 100%.
