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!

​Seats are limited. Sign up today!
