WindSong has enjoyed a lot of media attention since its inception.

The first architecturally-designed cohousing community in Canada, WindSong Cohousing of Walnut Grove, marks its 10th anniversary on Sunday.
Building the dream. Imagine a community that's designed by the people who live there. Where residents live in the privacy of their own homes but gather in the community's common house...
So you want to live in a co-operative community where materials are recycled, nature respected and water and energy conserved. What'll the neighbours say?

Today, a new movement is emerging that restores this sense of closeness, while preserving the privacy we have come to cherish.
The thought of having my kids live and grow up in a neighbourhood like this one made me want to weep. This place had a treehouse, acres of green space with a creek to poke around in, and constant supportive attention from neighbours who believed that a whole village is needed to properly raise and socialize a child.
Imagine a community where families socialize over twice-weekly community dinners, kids and pets roam under the watchful eye of dozens of adults, people pull weeds together in a communal vegetable garden or gather in the evenings to listen to musicians that live in their community. Where decisions are made by consensus, and people don't just own their own homes-they create their own village.
Drive up to it unaware, and you'd have a hard time distinguishing WindSong from any of the other upscale condominium complexes in the Walnut Grove section of Langley
