Hazelburn is a federally-funded non-profit corporation. In co-op housing, there is no landlord and members do not sign a lease. Instead, members are required to sign an occupancy agreement which outlines the rights and obligations of membership. All adult residents of Hazelburn are voting members and collectively govern the operation of the co-operative.
Each year, the membership elects a Board of Directors to handle the administration of the co-op. As well, various tasks pertaining to the management of the co-operative community are looked after by volunteer committees.
As a result, all our members enjoy a significantly lower housing cost and a sense of ownership that results in a cleaner, better-maintained building environment and a more secure building where everyone knows their neighbours.
