About your hosts

​Margaret Critchlow is a social anthropologist and expert in community building and facilitation, and a founding member of Harbourside cohousing in Sooke, BC.

​About the Esquimalt project

​Big News: Rezoning is now approved! Units are being reserved on a first-come basis. With this major hurdle cleared, there has never been a better time to join this community.

Esquimalt Village Cohousing is a group of regular folks working with professionals to build an inclusive and vibrant home-ownership neighbourhood in the Greater Victoria area. This six-story village will feature thirty-four apartments at market price, in one, two, and three-bedroom layouts.

  • Built sustainably: smaller footprint, lower bills, higher quality

  • Neighbours you know and care about. 

  • For a whole life: working professionals, families, young children and elders.

  • Individually titled units: ordinary title, ordinary mortgage.
