Cohousing-L Mailing List: Options in Canada?

[Diane Law (dianemlaw]

Hi,
  
  I would like to be involved in cohousing in Canada.
  
  My place of choice is the West Coast, but those options get pretty  
expensive. I do love the Roberts Creek Co-Housing but it is full with a  
waitlist. 
  
  More importantly than location, I seek the following
  
  -close to a small, pedestrian-friendly village, with medical services and 
groceries at a minimum
  -detached homes
  -$150,000 or less for all costs to and including the point of purchase
  -lower-impact buildings, whether that be retrofitted older homes or an 
eco-village of earthships
  -kids
  -unschooling
  -active movement around making music,  hosting workshops, etc
  
  Alternatively, I was thinking there might be 20-30 families willing to  buy 
up houses in one town, creating cohousing this way. Some places  sell many 
houses for $10,000-$20,000. Great for those who don't mind  snow!
  
 Does anyone know where I can find this for myself and  my one year old? If 
not, does anyone have tips on how to find other  people who might want to do 
option b?
  
  Thanks!
