Arcadia
Toronto, Ontario,
Canada
 Arcadia (a.k.a. The Arcadian Way) is an intentional community of alternatively minded, LGBTTQQ and allied people living in Toronto. We try to observe a non-violent communication style, consensus-based decision making, and a comfortable relaxed atmosphere of non-harassment and mutual respect.
Our current projects include setting up our new garden and a couple fun social projects.
