It was posted 1/5/95 Sorry for the delay, I've been gone for a week. Fred ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Coho's everywhere, I am presently setting up a local on-line conference on cohousing via TVO (TV Ontario) in Toronto. We have made your list public to our members and soon will have a discusison group going. I will be the moderator. I am a graduate Architect with a passion for sustainability in all facets of life. I have helped build one straw bale building and have a client for another. I first read about co-housing a few years ago in the most conservative paper in town (Globe & Mail - if anyone wants the exact date email me) and have met with one local group so far. This conference is meant to be another communications arm of The Collaborative Housing Society. This Society runs The CoHousing Network/Ontario which, through its Board, Advisors and Memebers, offers services from facilitation to education and helps cohousing groups to move their dream to reality. The Collaborative Housing Society is a volunteer, non-profit organization which supports and promotes cohousing in Canada. We collect, generate and share information to help individuals and groups understand the process of cohousing as it evolves. We present the concept of co-housing to business and government to ensure the acceptance of cohousing as an alternative to developer-driven housing. The point-man for all this activity and someone who has more energy than Ontario Hydro produces in a year is Russell Mawby. Russell sends his greetings to all of the faithful reading this. Happy New Year to all. Tom Ponessa
