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.

October 28, 2012 – Annual General Meeting held. Members approved a $500 surcharge, payable by December 21. Members can also opt to pay $600 in $50 per month installments the following year. 2013 Housing charges remain unchanged from 2012.
