Our ecovillage is a non-profit housing development that brings together people with similar interests and ecological awareness to create a village in harmony with the surrounding nature. It is a community of people driven by the same ideology who come together according to the principle of equity among all, in an organized system of good neighbourliness.
Located in a mountain maple grove in the province of Quebec, Canada, the ecovillage includes 12 private residences and a common pavilion (to come). The land was purchased in 2011 and the 1 km road was fully completed in spring 2012. The construction of the first house began in 2013, and others followed in subsequent years. By the end of 2019, the construction of the 8th house will be almost completed.
There will soon be 14 permanent residents at the ecovillage and in addition, the group also includes four “active members” (non-owners) who assume responsibilities and take part in various activities, as well as four children.
