What we’re about
Cohousing Options Canada is preparing to build Red Dace Cohousing, a vibrant, multi-generational cohousing community in Brampton, Ontario, where members live independently and enjoy meaningful social connections. The planned neighbourhood of 38 units will balance private homes with shared indoor and outdoor spaces that are designed to be accessible and support a healthy, joyful, and sustainable community life for young families and seniors.
If you're interested in exploring cohousing, learning how you could be part of our community and how to join the wait list to be informed when homes become available please join us for one of our upcoming online or in person events.
