Membership Benefits

Membership in the Canadian Cohousing Network (CCN) offers many benefits to forming and completed cohousing communities:

  • The primary benefit to all Canadian Cohousing Network member communities is our website: cohousing.ca. By sharing this site, which is found easily by internet search engines, member communities are identified with a successful, well-established community development model. The site is a rich informational resource, providing an attractive platform for members’ outreach and promotion.
  • Group Membership includes a paragraph and an image on the cohousing.ca website based on an agreed-to format. The information will link to contact information and/or the member’s own website (whichever is preferred).
  • Professional Membership includes a paragraph and an image on the cohousing.ca website based on an agreed-to format. The information will link to contact information and/or the professional’s website.
  • Group Members have access to the CCN website’s secure member-controlled Classified Ads page. Each community is assigned a password allowing its members to create and post ads offering their homes for rent or sale. Each ad’s views counter allows members to see their ad’s viewing frequency.
  • All Members will receive the quarterly e-newsletter.
  • All Members may submit cohousing information (through our Contact page) for the general public as well as for other cohousers to be posted on the CCN website’s News & Events feature, or to be included in the quarterly newsletter, subject to approval.
  • A contact person at the CCN responds to general inquiries and provides interested people with information about cohousing and the communities in their local area.
  • All Members will have access to special events, such as webinars, zoom calls and other special events.
  • All Members have input into the direction and operation of the CCN at the annual general meeting. Only Group Members have voting rights.
