2012 outlook for cohousing project

Cohousing is an ideology that combines individual living with the benefits of shared community space and resources.

Cohousing is an ideology that combines individual living with the benefits of shared community space and resources. McGillivray and Legg have dreamed of building and living in a "socially and environmentally sustainable community" for a long time now.They foresee Belterra ( meaning the beautiful earth) the ideal spot for this courageous endeavor. Their mission statement is: To create and sustain an evolving community that embraces respect for a diverse group of ecologically accountable and socially responsible people. The 10 acres of land designated for this project is in a fantastic location (close to the cove) and has a view of the mountains that is most spectacular.

"The next year should finally see the beginning of construction at Belterra, and my strongest wish around that is that many moreyoung families will join us and have the opportunity of growing up in such a wonderful community."
