Discover Cohousing

This February, we’re inviting you to discover cohousing — and to join Esquimalt Village Cohousing as an Associate Member.

We’re excited to share that we’re officially welcoming new Associate Members, and February is the perfect time to get involved. Our project has reached a sweet spot: we’ve purchased land, and there’s still a meaningful opportunity for new members to help shape our community and inform design decisions.

❤️ Upcoming “Dates” With Cohousing ❤️

RSVP below for our upcoming events and see if cohousing is the right fit for you.

Cohousing in the News:

👂 Have you heard CBC’s The Current with Matt Galloway episode “Is Cohousing the Life Hack You’ve Been Looking For?” yet?

It gives a thoughtful look at the real challenges some groups face when trying to start cohousing in Ontario — and serves as a reminder that building community isn’t always easy. Cohousing in British Columbia, however, has a different story: many BC projects have successfully moved forward, gained momentum, and created truly vibrant communities. If you’re curious about why cohousing in BC has been more successful and what that means for Esquimalt Village Cohousing, we’ll be talking about it at our free Virtual Info Session - Sign up here!
