Award for Co-operative Achievement
Why an Award for Co-operative Achievement?
Housing co-ops are full of amazing stories, and we want to highlight them.
The Award for Co‑operative Achievement celebrates an inspiring program or project by a CHF Canada member co‑op that creates a lasting legacy. The Award is given out every two years and showcases why housing co‑ops are remarkable places to live.
If your housing co-op has a success story to share, consider submitting a nomination for some national recognition!

- Significant engagement of young co-operative members or those members from underrepresented groups (diversity), or support of aging-in-place measures
- Have added new units or redeveloped to contribute to the growth of Canada’s co-op housing movement
