Loyal to the Soil: Eco-villages and Eco-communities in Canada Webinar

What does it take to build sustainable, community-led housing in Canada?

Our latest webinar featured ecovillage leaders from Newfoundland, Québec and Ontario. This conversation explores the real-world challenges of developing eco-communities, everything from financing and land access to zoning policy, governance, and community building.

Representing projects in Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland, respectively, Wendy Reid Fairhurst, Rob Cole, and Mary-Kate Craig share insights into how ecovillages are taking shape across Canada, highlighting both the promise and complexity of building housing rooted in ecological values, affordability, and collective living.
