Prairie Rivers Cohousing in the media

Minimize your footprint, maximize your community.

Cohousing is a sustainable housing model which includes privately-owned, self-contained homes and shared facilities. Common spaces are at the heart of the community, promoting social interaction and connection among neighbours. Prairie Rivers is planning Winnipeg’s first cohousing community.

Minimize your footprint, maximize your community.

Community

“Cohousing is for anyone who wants to have more connection with their neighbours. Typically communities include people of all ages from babies to seniors, with couples, families, singles and single parents. The emphasis is on quality of life. There is no social agenda beyond creating a friendly neighbourhood where all residents feel accepted and comfortable.”

Sustainability

Prairie Rivers Cohousing's goal is to build to International Passive House standards. This will significantly lower energy usage for heating and cooling. We will also be using environmentally friendly building materials. Sharing resources within the completed community will provide many more opportunities for residents to live lighter on the planet.
