From pounding tires to sharing stories around the dinner table, your energy, enthusiasm, and open-heartedness has made this journey not just a build, but a community, a cultural exchange, and an unforgettable adventure.
As of August 2025, we will no longer be accepting new volunteers. While this chapter is closing, the impact you’ve made lives on in every bottle, can and tire, and the wonderful karma built from the kindness and conversations shared here.
If you’re a past volunteer, we’d love to hear from you—drop us a line, shoot us a text or email, or better yet, stop by and see how far we’ve come. The doors are always open to the people who helped build them.
With deep gratitude,
Susan & Tony Doig, Bentley, and Mabel

Tony (my husband) and I (Susan) are passionate about sustainability.
Together we have four children, Bentley (our standard poodle and living doorbell), Mabel (mouser extraordinaire)
With our children grown and no longer living at home, we are living our dream - building an Earthship, learning centre and hosting the world.
The Doighouse Earthship is all about exploring a low-impact lifestyle, off-grid living in an energy-efficient dwelling built from recycled materials.
One that meets local, provincial, and national building and energy codes, built to last for (at least) 100 years.
We bring together professionals, enthusiasts, and the general public to enjoy hands-on learning
It is love for the planet, people, and sharing of abundance that makes this project come alive.
For individual or small group tours, we offeree a customize an itinerary to emphasize your interests. If you have a special request, send us a message, and we will be sure to get back to you soon.

I spent 2.5 months at theDoighouse, one of the best experiences of my life. Everyday I learned new things and did different tasks on the Earthship and in the garden. The location is so beautiful with many walking trails nearby; the ocean and everything you need. I feel blessed to have such a transformative experience.
