This community is in the “FORMING” stage. We are currently applying for funding to help us get our people and our partners ready and able to dive into the long journey we have ahead.
THE OVERALL CONCEPT
- 20-30 residential units
- A shared Members Activity Centre (“The MAC”)
- A number of trials through a variety of natural habitats (bog, beach, protected salt marsh, forests, and wetlands)
- The residents will all be ages 50+ (with some lee way to allow members as young as 30)
STANDARDS OF DEVELOPMENT
- The property and units will all be owned by the non-profit organization (“Edgewood Ecovillage Ltd.”)
- Most of the units will be rented to the members using the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s “Affordability” criteria, the rest will be rented at “Market Rates”
- All structures will be built Net Zero as a minimum standard
- All structures will be built using passive SOLAR design principles
- Landscaping (where it is not left to natural habitats) will be done using permaculture design and food forestry
More details to come…
