The Co-op requires members to share the responsibilities of governing, operating and maintaining our Co-operative. This is what makes our Co-op so successful. The Co-op maintains high standards because it is directed by the very people who live here.

​

A willingness to participate is an important criterion for acceptance into membership. Volunteering keeps our costs low and therefore also keeps your housing fee's low.

 

Living in a non-profit housing co-op means:

​

• You will be expected to get involved in running the co-op in some form of manner.  This could mean being a board member,  joining a committee, such as, the social committee by offering your time to organize a co-op event or activity or doing deliveries to the members. There are many ways to volunteer. 

• You are required to attend General Meetings that are held at least two times a year. 

• You elect a board of directors made up of people who live in your co-op and volunteer their time to do so. We encourage you to run for the board of directors.

• You will receive audited financial statements that show how the co-op is financially managed.

• You can live here for as long as you like, as long as you keep to the occupancy agreement, the co-op act and the house policies. 

​

Please note: We are not a care facility. We encourage our members to work with their families to have a plan in place for when they can no longer independently care for themselves.

​

If you enjoy volunteering and are willing to commit to community living . . . then you’ll enjoy co-op living!
