Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Proforma, Feasibility Study, Business Plan, Proposal

[Casey Morrigan (cjmorr]

hi, Maggie.

I don't feel particularly proprietary about our documents.  It's just that 
they are not only years old but also for a project in the U.S.  I did 
assume they wouldn't be particularly helpful for you.  Don't you need 
something that conforms to Canadian law and custom?
