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..
