ABOUT
WCRI is Canada’s largest student housing co-operative. As a co-operative, WCRI relies on member involvement in providing
affordable housing and creating a supportive and welcoming student community. At WCRI, every member participates to the
extent that they are able.
What started with a small group of motivated students in the 1960s has grown into housing for more than 800 resident-members. WCRI’s success proves that co-operative enterprises are able to adapt and thrive in changing economic, political and social currents..

HOUSING
WCRI is committed to providing comfortable, secure and affordable housing. We offer a number of different housing options within
our four distinct housing areas. If you’re looking for dormitory style housing, check out the A-Dorms and the Hammar Dorms.
If an apartment suits your housing needs better, we have 1 to 4 bedroom apartments in our new Fenwick building, and 3 and 4
bedroom options at our CCK apartments.
All of our apartments and dormitories come furnished with a bed, desk, chair, and dresser or wardrobe. Common areas in dormitories and apartments are also furnished.
WCRI is located across the road from UW, and a five-minute walk from WLU. Grocery, entertainment, health and public transport amenities are conveniently located nearby.
