Inukshuk Coop

Welcome to the Inukshuk Housing Co-operative

Welcome...to our Co-op and to Co-op living. As a small community inside the City of Yellowknife, we work together to maintain an affordable, safe and social community. Please take a look around our website and see why our Inukshuk Co-op is part of a growing movement in Canada and just maybe the next place for you and your family to live.
