Co-Housing

Co-housing is similar to condominiu­m living with small, independen­t apartments, but based on the idea of an intentiona­l community with substantia­l shared resources including a common house with a kitchen and dining room for regular shared meals. It appeals to some as it may permit them to age in place and to others with young children who like knowing their neighbours.

If co-housing appeals to you, plan to attend What is Co-Housing? Perspectiv­es on an Emerging Community, which takes place Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. The evening will feature an introducti­on by Scott Donovan, a local architect and time for questions. This event takes place at the Gathering Room at The Mount Community Centre, 1545 Monaghan Rd. For more informatio­n please email scott.peterborou­gh@gmail.com or aslavin@trentu.ca.
