We live in the cohousing community of Ravens Crossing https://www.ravenscrossingcohousing.ca a 35 unit complex of people from all walks of life who value privacy and connection within a simpler, healthier, and more energy-efficient environment. Our community is in walkable/bikeable town with a library, restaurants, shops, cinema, a world-class theatre, playgrounds and parks, and ocean attractions. We are near an international airport and Gulf Island and Vancouver ferries. I especially like the fact that I can go outside with my wheelchair and access everything including the waterfront and ferries. Our building has a large common space for cooking and dining together, a south-facing garden and gathering area and a rooftop deck for outdoor play, socials, conversations, and container gardening. Victoria is a 1 1/2 hour ferry ride from Vancouver.
