A short description of what you'll find here now and what you can expect to see in the future ...
This website is about co-op housing and a little bit about ourselves. We are relaunching Snowonder.ca with the following goals:
- to share what we know about legal issues and decision-making in housing co-operatives
Bruce's previous Legal Notes are available here and more are in the works. Maybe Marianne can be convinced to share tips for spreadsheets, databases and other technical tools in the co-op office.
- to develop an on-line history of the co-op housing movement
We have boxes in our basement full of papers and old publications that normal people would have tossed a long time ago. From time-to-time we'll open a box, scan what's useful or interesting or funny and publish it here. We hope you'll want to contribute your stories to go along with ours.
- to connect with broader issues affecting all our communities
We also have opinions (no kidding!) to offer. Maybe we'll write about democratic processes in small organizations, numeracy and statistics, government policies and practices, the weather, or something you ask us.
- to promote books and music that we like
This is not so much a goal, but an expectation. From time to time a word about family or personal activities will sneak in too, but we respect their privacy and your wish for something more useful.
