What we do

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.

Notre écovillage est un projet d’habitation à but non lucratif qui réunit des gens ayant des intérêts similaires et une conscience écologique pour créer un village en harmonie avec la nature environnante. C’est une communauté de personnes animées par la même idéologie qui se réunissent selon le principe de l’équité entre tous, dans un système de bon voisinage organisé.
Situé dans une érablière du Québec, l’écovillage comprend 12 résidences privées et un pavillon commun (à venir). Le terrain a été acheté en 2011 et la route de 1 km a été achevée au printemps 2012. La construction de la première maison a débuté en 2013, et d’autres ont suivi au cours des années suivantes. D’ici la fin de 2019, la construction de la 8e maison sera presque terminée.
Il y aura bientôt 14 résidents permanents à l’écovillage et en plus, le groupe comprend également quatre ” membres actifs ” (non propriétaires) qui assument des responsabilités et participent à diverses activités, ainsi que quatre enfants.

True North CoHousing Community Seeking Founders

True North is a small, women-centered intentional community where self-directed, purposeful women share space, resources, and genuine commitment to each other’s wellbeing. We are building something that is greater than the sum of its parts — a life that is richer, more secure, and more meaningful because we are living it together. Our Vision A community where no one falls through the cracks. Where aging is something we navigate together rather than alone. Where the people around you notice when you’re struggling, celebrate when you’re thriving, and show up — not because they have to, but because that’s simply who we are to each other. We are building this as a tiny house village — a model we chose deliberately. Many intentional communities require crazy buy-in sums, putting them out of reach for most women navigating life on a single income. We believe that financial accessibility isn’t a compromise — it’s a value. Your home will be yours: as simple or as appointed as fits your life and circumstances, sized right for the life you are living now and the one you are building toward. We live lightly on the land and invest heavily in the relationships that make life worth living. We’re currently forming our founding group — the women who will help shape what this community becomes, where it lands, and how it lives. Not ready to be a founder but feel this in your gut? We want to hear from you too. There’s a place for you here at whatever stage feels right. https://www.truenorthcommunity.info/ jh*******@****on.me

From The Ground Up: Ecovillage Design Education

From The Ground Up is a 7-day residential Mini Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) at Entelechy, a 13.5-acre intentional community on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. August 9–15, 2026. The course follows the Gaia Education EDE framework, covering four dimensions of sustainability: Ecological – Food systems, natural building, energy and water, appropriate technology. Social – Community governance, communication, conflict resolution, collective decision-making. Economic – Alternative economics, cooperative structures, local currencies, social enterprise. Worldview – The values, beliefs, and cultural frameworks that underlie sustainable community – why people want to live this way, and what has to shift for it to last. The course is facilitated by a graduate of both the full EDE and the Gaia Education Training of Trainers programme. It takes place at a working ecovillage where residents live what they teach. Participants stay on-site for the week in wall tents or camping. Communal meals sourced from local Salt Spring farms and Entelechy’s gardens are included. This course is for anyone interested in designing, joining, or strengthening sustainable communities — whether you’re starting from scratch, already involved in a project, or looking to go deeper than a Permaculture Design Course. Up to 22 spots. Application-based enrollment. Early bird: $950 CAD (before June 15, 2026) Regular: $1,149 CAD Payment plans, group discounts, and work-trade spots available. If interested, we invite you to apply here: https://www.entelechysaltspring.ca/ecovillage-design Salt Spring Island is accessible by BC Ferries from Tsawwassen (Metro Vancouver), Swartz Bay (Greater Victoria), and Crofton (mid-Vancouver Island).
