Marpole Co-op Get-together builds new relationships and partnerships

  19 July 2023

CHF BC hosted the latest get-together in our neighbourhood event series on July 12, 2023, with a group of housing co-ops in the Marpole neighbourhood of Vancouver.

Members from several Marpole housing co-ops spent a beautiful summer evening touring neighbourhood co-ops. During the tour, they shared their co-op living experiences with one another. While visiting some of the non-profit housing co-ops, participants shared information about EV charger installation and co-op renovation projects. The co-ops in this neighbourhood are composed of diverse members passionate about working together to create safe and welcoming housing.

The Marpole get-together was a chance for CHF BC and co-op members to build new relationships and partnerships to benefit everyone. Thanks again to everyone who came out and made this evening a huge success!
