Construction on 92 homes is underway in North Cowichan to help bring more affordable housing north of the Malahat.
Cowichan Valley MLA Debra Toporowski said the $65-million project is a collaboration between the federal government, the province, the Municipality of North Cowichan and the Community Land Trust.
Toporowski said the investment from all levels of government to build the cooperative housing units will provide the community with homes for all, regardless of income level.
She added the development is a step forward for the region.
“This is a meaningful step forward for North Cowichan and the Cowichan Valley, and I look forward to welcoming residents to the new community in the years ahead.”The units are expected to be completed in early 2028 at 3181 Sherman Road.
