The Nolalu Eco Centre
Northern Ontario’s largest solar- and wind-
powered straw bale facility.
Just west of Thunder Bay.
A place for learning, relaxing and meeting inspiring people - all
connected to “living
lightly” on
this fragile planet.
HOUSE TOURS
See for your self how a strawbale house looks and feels how the solar panels
and the wind generator are at work, how heating and cooling of the house is
set up, hardly using any energy. How water is conserved and what "passive
solar" looks like.
Sit down and enjoy a cup of solar heated coffee with us.

A tour takes about 1 ½ hour,
and includes solar powered coffee/tea and a snack.
