Co-operative Housing Federation of BC

The Co-operative Housing Federation of BC (CHF BC) is a co-operative association made up of member housing co-ops and related organizations in British Columbia. Members send delegates to federation meetings to represent their co-op, elect (or run for) the board of directors at the annual general meeting, and/or to serve on CHF BC committees. This member direction helps CHF BC focus on meeting the needs of housing co-ops. You can represent the interests of your members by adding your co-op's voice to the co-operative housing movement. Working together we have created a strong co-operative federation, and we invite your co-op to join us. CHF BC is financed by annual membership dues, fees for services, revenue shared by CHF Canada, and by contracts and grants for special projects. They measured their second baseline inventory for their 2010 fiscal year. The federation is working to reduce these emissions by implementing an enhanced recycling program, investigating electronic options for meetings and workshops, providing incentives for staff to take public transit, encouraging electronic communication and reducing office paper use by implementing double sided printing and encouraging electronic communication.
