Waterloo Region Cohousing Project

309 Duke Street East, Kitchener, Ontario

We are creating a sustainable cohousing ecovillage community in the Waterloo Region in Ontario, Canada. Our plan is to build 30 homes combining the advantage of privacy and shared common facilities. We manage ourselves through consensus decision making.

Our Vision:

We envision courageous, innovative communities in which people actively care for each other and the environment.

Our Mission:

We are building a sustainable, intergenerational neighbourhood that is socially and economically inclusive, we positively engage with each other and the wider community.

Guiding Principals:

• Sustainable
• Inclusive
• Affordable
• Participatory/Engaged
• Innovative/Dynamic

Location:

As of Spring 2017, the group is planning to build a cohousing community in an urban location in Kitchener or Waterloo. The majority of the group remains flexible and will explore suitable properties on the outskirts of Kitchener or Waterloo or in urban Guelph.
