Our Mission

To collaboratively maintain and sustain a vibrant, inclusive, multigenerational cohousing village that lives lightly on the earth.

Our Aims

• Fostering a culture of sustainability and care for the earth, while minimizing our environmental impact and creating opportunities to enjoy and play in nature.
• Creating an inclusive environment where people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds feel welcome and safe.
• Managing our village collaboratively, while maintaining a high quality built environment and using resources wisely.
• Sharing decision making using sociocratic tools and principles, such that all voices are heard.

Our Community Standards

At Treehouse, we are committed to:

• Communicating in ways that are honest and transparent, while doing our best to be courteous and considerate, welcoming and inclusive, compassionate and empathetic.
• Contributing in ways that enrich the social fabric and physical space of our community and that encourage each other to share our varied gifts, abilities, and insights while also recognizing our own needs. 
• Collaborating in ways that are intentional and where challenges and disagreements are met with curiosity, openness, and the understanding that we are all learning together. 
• Caring for ourselves, our neighbours, and our earth; while celebrating diversity, offering hospitality, living lightly, and being grateful on our journey. 

And…together we create a community, a village we can call home.

Our Values

• Our planet: living lightly on the earth
• Our community: sharing resources and joy in an inclusive environment
• Ourselves: living in a safe, comfortable, and healthy home

Governance

Treehouse Village is self-governed using sociocracy, a system designed for inclusiveness, transparency, and efficiency. Decisions are made in circles (working groups) and supported by a Board of Directors. This structure allows every voice to be heard, while keeping the community organized and resilient.
