Our Values

The Perth community places a high value on community spirit and involvement. Specifically, we work hard to cultivate kindness, respect, contribution, equality, solidarity, caring for others and harmony. We strive to be a welcoming place where all members have the right to live with dignity, free from harassment and discrimination. We have been a member of the Canadian Housing Federation of Toronto (CHFT) since its opening as well as maintaining involvement in the Bloor-Junction Neighbourhood Coalition. These organizations uphold the following ideals for all Canadian Co-ops:

• Mutual self-help: Co-operatives are based on the idea that people can help each other.
• Democratic control: Co-operatives are democratic organizations where members are involved in decision-making.
• Equality: Co-operatives promote equality and equity.
• Solidarity: Co-operatives are based on the idea of solidarity.
• Honesty, openness, and caring for others: Co-op members support these ethical values.
• Fair price: Co-operatives are committed to providing good quality service at a fair price.
• Concern for the community: Co-operatives are good citizens in the community and try to create housing for future generations.
• Kindness: Co-operatives are exhibiting acts of empathy, compassion, and consideration
• Respect: Co-operatives are acknowledging the value and dignity of every individual, fostering a positive and inclusive environment.
