Events

If the pandemic has taught us anything, is that more and more of us are concerned about isolation and the loss of community. Living in cohousing is one of the solution to this problem. If you’re interested in knowing more, we’d like to invite you to our next coffee chat on Saturday January 29th from 10:00 – 11:30am. This is a great opportunity for you to ask your questions, get to know members of our community, learn more about Tomo house and our wonderful project.

Planning to attend? Please RSVP to get the Zoom link.
