Community Designer
Community Designer Opportunity
We are looking for help in designing our Master Planned – Micro Communities. Our community model is attracting growing interest from municipalities, cities, and towns across Ontario, but we need help. Our volunteers have assembled our vision to date in some simple community designs, but now we are looking to create buildable communities. Currently we have 24-locations that several city’s’ staff have provided details on specific properties, and we want to propose buildable community designs that incorporate our community focused housing model.
If you have planning and design knowledge, educational and/or real-world experience, work well in a team, can time-mange remote working, have fresh ideas around community, sustainability, and micro-living, are willing to invest your time today, to become our resident community designer, with our first communities for the Spring of 2024, we want to meet you.
We have all the partnerships assembled to build these communities, we have a growing portfolio of properties to develop, and a public need that exceeds our ability to meet, ensuring years of project opportunities. If you enjoy a fast paced, casual, creative environment to work in, consider submitting your resume and portfolio for our Community Designer position.
The ideal candidate will be able to take us to Site Plan Approval on our projects.

Note this is currently a volunteer role, that will transition to a full-time paid position or contract, with our first build in the Spring of 2024.

Don’t discount their potential to help. Little did I imagine where this would be 5-years ago when I started. I imagine there will still be opportunities to participate, as we work to establish this form of housing across Canada.

Hello, I would like to apply for the position. I found funding and started up the Environmental Management Program at Niagara College in the early 90s. I built Eco-Home Niagara, a model off grid, straw bale built home and training centre in 2012 in Welland, Ontario. I worked with the City of Welland to design Ontario’s first off grid subdivision project. I am currently developing 4, off grid communities in northern Ontario. Let me know if you would like to talk? Thank you.

I would be very happy to work with you on the design and building of these communities. I have built my own 24×10 tiny home in BC and sold it and moved to Ontario. I have been researching tiny homes for over 25 years and have been to several conferences in both Canada and the States. I have worked in several fields that I have used as a learning tool for the building of tiny homes. One area I have worked in to understand is dealing with human waste or septic handling. I also have studied, and done framing,building,heating, structuring for comfort and

this is what the world needs and this is what Canada needs. Tiny homes are cozy, comfortable and a lot cheeper to maintain than a regular sized house and something people can be proud of.

We agree Derek. Tiny homes bring the possibility of home ownership to many people, that up to now never expected to be able to own a home of their own.
