2006 International Straw Bale Building Conference

2006 International Straw Bale Building Conference (ISBBC)

when: September 23 - October 1, 2006
where: Camp Kawartha, Lakefield, Ontario

The International Straw Bale Building Conference is a bi-annual gathering of a world-wide community of straw bale building practitioners, advocates and enthusiasts. These gatherings offer a chance to share information and techniques with one another to promote the better design and construction of straw bale buildings.

Past conferences have been held in California, Nebraska, Australia and Denmark. The Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition is excited to bring the conference to Canada for the first time and build on the
successes of earlier gatherings.

The schedule is packed with presentations by international authors and builders from straw bale and natural building communities worldwide.  The panel discussions and hands on sessions will offer an incredible variety of topics for owners and builders addressing the latest materials and techniques, as well as how to incorporate other technologies with straw bale.  Take part in the first ever Straw Bale Olympics!  A vendor's tent will feature the latest books from natural building publishers, services by natural builders, and
materials from suppliers.
