About Event

Enjoy a free Saturday morning coffee with Township, Canada's leading Cohousing experts.

We’ll present plans for our latest community currently underway in Greater Victoria, introduce you to members, share insights about the cohousing lifestyle, and answer questions from the audience.

One lucky guest will also take home a signed copy of our book, "Community Led Housing"

About your hosts

  • Ronaye Matthew has successfully managed and guided twelve cohousing projects to completion across the county, including three on Vancouver Island.

  • Margaret Critchlow is a social anthropologist, expert in community building and facilitation, and a founding member of Harbourside cohousing in Sooke, BC.

About the project

Esquimalt Village Cohousing is a group of regular folks building our own inclusive and vibrant neighborhood in the Greater Victoria area. This six-story village will feature thirty-four apartments in one, two, and three-bedroom layouts.

  • Built sustainably: smaller footprint, lower bills, higher quality

  • Neighbours who notice when you’re not around – and offer to water your plants.

  • For a whole life: working professionals, families, young children and elders.

  • Individually titled units: ordinary title, ordinary mortgage.

Big News: Our rezoning is approved! Units are now being reserved on a first-come basis. With this major hurdle cleared, there has never been a better time to join this community.

Originating in Denmark, Cohousing is a collaborative, resident-developed housing model designed to overcome the isolation of modern living. It combines the autonomy of full-equipped private homes with generous community amenities designed to foster connection, including:

  • Shared Dining & Kitchen

  • Workshop

  • Coworking Space

  • Bistro / Lounge

  • Crafts Room

  • Children's Play Areas

  • Rooftop Veggie Garden

  • Walkable Neighbourhood

  • Shared Meals

  • Library

  • Guest Suites

  • And More!
