Why a co-op?
Co-ops offer members advantages often not available in other forms of housing. While in a co-op, members can live in their home as long as they wish and have a say in the decisions in how they are managed. Finally, co-ops are communities in the truest sense of the word, fostering ongoing relationships with neighbours.
A Secure Home
Co-op members have security of tenure. This means members who follow their co-op rules and pay their housing charges on time get to enjoy their home for as long as they wish.
You Have a Voice
McHardy members collaborate with Community Land Trust in the management of their co-op community, and most decisions are made based on a democratic vote.
Community First
McHardy attracts members with shared values and lifestyles. Being involved in co-op events and initiatives, members foster strong and lasting relationships with one another.
A Community that Fosters Connectedness
We are a part of the co-operative community, creating housing that meets economic, social, and cultural needs.
Housing co-operatives are made up of members from all walks of life. They are non-profit, democratic organizations, where each member has a say in the decisions that affect their home. Neighbours look out for one another, building a home together and contributing to the co-op’s prosperity and success
