Case Study: Rapid COVID Response Domes for Indigenous Services Canada

Overview: Emergency Housing for North Caribou Lake First Nation

Under contract with Indigenous Services Canada, NovaDome delivered rapid-deploy, emergency-ready shelter systems to support urgent housing needs in North Caribou Lake First Nation (Weagamow) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The community received a fleet of insulated fiberglass domes, fully equipped with flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, generators, and septic kits—ensuring safe, livable housing from day one.


The Vision: Turnkey Shelter Systems for Remote Northern Communities

NovaDome’s mission was clear:

  • Provide emergency housing that could be rapidly deployed in a remote northern environment.

  • Engineer structures to withstand severe winters with insulation and resilience.

  • Deliver turnkey solutions, not just empty shells—ensuring immediate usability upon arrival.


The Solution: Fully Equipped Rapid-Deploy Domes

  • Multiple domes supplied to North Caribou Lake First Nation.

  • Outfitted with flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, and utilities.

  • Generators and septic kits for off-grid, self-sufficient operation.

  • Insulated fiberglass design built for northern durability.

  • Deployment coordinated to meet urgent COVID-19 timelines.


Impact: Strengthening Community Resilience

  • Immediate, safe shelter capacity for vulnerable members of the community.

  • Self-contained living environments, ready for occupancy on arrival.

  • A foundation for future emergency preparedness in remote regions.


Conclusion: Proving Speed, Resilience, and Livability

By delivering fully equipped, insulated domes at scale, NovaDome supported Indigenous Services Canada and North Caribou Lake First Nation in responding quickly to a crisis.

These rapid-response domes prove that speed, resilience, and livability can come together to meet urgent housing needs—exactly where and when they matter most.
