O.U.R. Ecovillage’s One United Resource Demonstration Site and Education Centre is a 25-acre property dedicated to sustainable living. Located in Shawnigan Lake, B.C., the multi-functional site contains a school, a community-based organic farm, residential facilities for land stewards, parkland and ecologically sensitive wetlands.
O.U.R. models healthy, natural house building code, food security education and demonstration and ultimately, the recreation of community ‘common space’ using an innovative ownership and governance structure.
Currently, O.U.R Ecovillage is working with The Land Conservancy of BC to raise $575,000 for the purchase of a conservation covenant to protect the unique values of the site for future generations.
Please donate today to the Protect O.U.R. Ecovillage Forever Campaign and help continue this one of a kind living example of sustainability.
