Apr 2, 2017. Convivium Cohousing for Seniors is a year-old organization that is developing a supportive community for older adults and seniors in Ottawa’s core. It will be self-financed by members through the purchase of units by members, including deposits in advance of construction. Costs will be similar to new condominiums with more benefits, participation, and co-care. Membership is currently closed, but there is a waiting list.
Contact Convivium (see below) to get on the membership waiting list or to get a list of other cohousing groups in the Ottawa area.
A second group named itself Concorde Cohousing (Ottawa) in Fall, 2016. It is creating social events, making connections, and meeting frequently.
Please contact these groups using the email addresses below:

I are interested in obtaining information on the seniors co-housing project in old Ottawa East.

I suggest you contact Roger Clark
Convivium Cohousing for Seniors is a non profit organization currently planning a new cohousing community in Ottawa. We have closed membership at the moment because we are planning a relatively small (20-25 unit) building. We are maintaining a waiting list for membership and can be contacted at conviviumcohousing@gmail.com
We also have a list of other developing cohousing groups in the Ottawa area.
