our story

Our Purpose

The Range is dedicated to developing strong housing communities that operate under the control of the members, for their mutual benefit on a not-for-profit basis. As part of a movement we are united by a commitment to uphold.

Shared Values

The international co-op principles guide the way we govern and manage our housing co-ops

Continuing to operate our co-ops on a not-for-profit basis is fundamental to our future and to our promise to Canadians in need of housing

Co-ops strive to house members with a mix of incomes

Housing co-ops treat their employees and other providers of management services fairly and value the contribution they make to their communities

Housing co-ops are inclusive communities and embrace diversity by fostering a membership of differing backgrounds and abilities

A commitment to environmental sustainability guides the operating practices of housing co-ops

Co-ops aim to provide a high-quality living environment for their members and do their best to respond to their changing housing needs over time

The right of members to live in their co-op is protected as long as they respect the rules that they have together agreed will govern their housing

Preserving this land’s use for the public good and ensuring the ability for the most vulnerable populations to secure safe, community housing is the primary goal of the co-op.

The Range provides an opportunity for growth of the co-operative housing sector and will enable members to benefit from scale.
