Cupcakes & Cohousing
One year ago, we launched our cohousing project at the Flying Otter Grill on Victoria’s Inner Harbour with a room filled to capacity! Since then, Victoria Harbour Cohousing has reached a major milestone: we’ve purchased a premier property in the heart of Esquimalt and are now officially Esquimalt Village Cohousing.
We’re ready to accept new members—please come to our birthday party, learn more about our active cohousing project, and enjoy a cupcake with us! We are inviting original attendees, members, and new friends alike back to the Flying Otter to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished this year and to find out how you can get involved in Greater Victoria’s first cohousing community.
Why You Should Check Back In…
If you’ve been thinking about cohousing, this is the event for you. You can:
Explore Membership: Since our launch, "placeholders" are turning into concrete plans. Associate membership is a smart three-month pass to learn about cohousing, get involved with our design process, and see if this might be the community you’ve been dreaming of.
See the Evolution: Get a look at the latest architectural designs currently in the rezoning application process.
Learn about the Property & Location: Discover our site in the heart of Esquimalt—surrounded by exceptional local amenities while remaining just a short trip from downtown Victoria.
Get Financial Clarity: We are now at a stage where unit prices and other essential project details that were undefined in the early phases are clearer. Did you know we’re designing units for roommates?
Understand the Process: Gain insight into how we are creating this community.
Stay for Lunch and Meet the Community!
The presentation is only part of the story. The heart of cohousing is the people you'll meet. We warmly invite you to stay after the presentation for a social lunch hour. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet our cohousing community members—the owners who have made significant investments to bring this project to life.
Come hear their stories, ask questions, and get a feel for these future neighbours who are building this intentional community together. Find out what membership can mean for you!
