RareBirds Housing Cooperative

Kamloops, British Columbia,

Canada

We are a group of 7 (2 couples & 3 singles)in Kamloops BC who are in the process of developing a collective home in downtown Kamloops. We are currently looking for another couple or single person to join our intentional family.

We range in age from 46 to 71 with some members working full or part time and some retired. We currently have pets in our family and are unable to accommodate more at this time.

Our vision is to live communally as a family with each member having a small bedsitting room for more private time.

Our values are; more financial freedom, creating sustainable practices, protecting the environment, collaborating & cooperating, time for fun & play in an inclusive environment

If you are a RareBird and fancy living in an urban environment in the BC interior we would love to hear from you.
