Title

Kingston Co-operative Homes

Description

Housing Co-operatives have been around for a long time in Canada. The first permanent student co-op was established at the University of Toronto in 1934.

Co-ops are controlled by their members, who together set policy, make decisions and elect leaders who report to them. In primary co-ops each member has one vote.

All members contribute fairly to their co-ops, which they own in common. Co-ops pay a limited return (if any) on money people have to invest to become members. Surpluses are held for the future and used to improve the Co-op's services.
