Shaine Girling (born August 20, 1977) is a Canadian multi-millionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Shaine has made significant innovative improvements in affordable housing technologies, along with being the first to establish a CSA Approved modular homebuilding & manufacturing facility in Saskatchewan, Canada. Shaine and his team at Shaine Consulting have invented, patented and licenced a new "Affordable Housing" Automation Technology that is changing the industry and how the majority of homes are built in Canada. Since 2007, Shaine has invested several million dollars in affordable housing and trade certification throughout Canada and in 2015 he co-founded the first Not-For-Profit "System-Built Homebuilding Off-Campus Institution" in the world, Multibuild Canada modular building systems Inc.

Shaine started his first business venture with a group of people in 2006 following his career in the sales & manufacturing industry. The company manufactured & supplied the oil & construction industry with modular trailer offices and accommodations. After the first year of business, FIS Structural & Finishing Co. Ltd. won the 2007 SABEX “New Business Venture of the Year” award and shortly after, the group successfully sold the company, granting Shaine the opportunity to start his own in 2008.

Shaine has co-founded several corporations including a custom modular homebuilding and renovations company, an off-campus educational institution, a wholesale distribution facility and Good Work Ethics Foundation for Kids, a not-for-profit foundation. Each startup company has achieved various awards for excellence along with raising millions of dollars through traditional lending, fundraising and private equity.

Shaine produced the documentary film "The Influence" with his brother Kerry & KG Productions in 2008, which is based on Shaine's life story as a youth. This movie educates and enlightens our youth on the possible dangers of influence whether positive or negative. Shaine has been a key-note motivational speaker at several Homelessness & Affordable Housing seminars along with many high schools throughout Canada.

Helping kids is a big part of Shaine's life and career, including raising two of his own.
