Once you have attended a meeting and if you interested in the project, there are two formalized levels of membership: Associate and Equity Membership.

Associate Member - An Associate Member is someone who is considering joining the community and wants to find out more about the group. They pay a non-refundable $100 fee to help cover costs for marketing, mailings, etc. and have access to all information that relates to the community. Associate Members are encouraged to attend meetings and to participate on committees and task groups. This gives them an opportunity to get to know the members, to educate themselves about past decisions and the cohousing process and to determine whether this life-style choice suits them.

Equity Member - Equity Members are people who have a strong desire to directly influence the quality and design of their home and neighbourhood, who have a vision about community that is different from what can be found in conventional developments, and who are willing to make time and financial commitments to realize their vision. Prior to committing to the process they need to feel comfortable with the other members, be knowledgeable about their responsibilities and financial obligations and have the ability to pay for a home in the community.
