Project Summary

We believe the current way housing is built is not designed to meet the challenges of tomorrow for our communities. We believe connection with each other and our environment is the way forward to live lightly on the earth and future housing should account for these needs.

Our society is designing and creating resilient community in concert with nature, for this generation and the next.

Resilience to us, is to provide ongoing resources to work and share, bond with your neighbours and lessen ongoing expenses for living.

Food security and natural defenses from extreme weather are important tools integrated into our community’s design to be resilient now and for future generations.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

CURRENTLY, WE ARE ONLY IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE PROJECT AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROJECT WILL EVEN GET TO THE NEXT STAGE IN DEVELOPMENT OR GO FORWARD IN ANY WAY BEYOND THE SOCIETY’S FEASIBILITY AND PLANNING STAGE.

Please see the About Us page for current information on our project’s status.

Possible Shared amenities

In 2021 we did a survey of our members and subscribers to find out what amenities would be most important to them to build into our community. Here are the answers our group gave at this time from most important to least important.

At a later stage in the project, as we solidify the design for our site, we will revisit our planned amenities.
