The Inukshuk Housing Co-operative is a member-managed organization, overseen by its Board of Directors dedicated to providing affordable housing for all.
At the Inukshuk Co-op we have 50 units that come equipped with air exchange units, and a variety of layouts. Members are responsible for providing their own appliances including but not limited to: washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, stove, etc. The units come in two, three and four bedroom units. Each unit has at least one electrical parking site. In addition we have a Co-op Community Center that houses the Board of Directors’ office, central boiler system and a meeting space.
Our housing charges are adopted by members each September at the annual AGM for the coming year starting January 1 and ending Dec 31.
All monthly rates include heat. We have a central boiler system consisting of a Pellet Boiler and two oil fired boilers as backup to serve all 50 units through a heating utilidor system.
