Support bringing more Cooperative housing to Chinatown for people who work, volunteer, and play in Chinatown! Support Coopérative d'habitation du Quartier chinois acquiring Ville-de-Montréal land!

Whereas cooperative housing is a non-profit property that is collectively owned and democratically managed by its residents and where residents are democratically selected and participate in the governance and community life of the building.

Whereas the values of the Coopérative d'habitation du Quartier chinois are to: 

  • Honour Chinatown’s cultural and historical significance
  • Foster a safe, equitable and inclusive resident community
  • Develop an environmentally and economically sustainable building
  • Encourage collective responsibility, participation and mutual support of all its residents
  • Contribute to and enhance neighbourhood life in Chinatown

Whereas the Coop aims to have a mix of affordable and below market housing targeting professionals, retirees, artists, community and cultural workers, and multigenerational families with children and seniors.

We, the undersigned, support the intention of the Coopérative d'habitation du Quartier chinois to acquire and develop their coop in Montreal's Chinatown, that will include a multipurpose space for community use.

Soutenez des logements coopératifs dans le Quartier chinois de Montréal pour les personnes qui y travaillent, y font du bénévolat et s'y divertissent! Appuyez la Coopérative d'habitation du Quartier chinois dans l'acquisition d'un terrain de la Ville de Montréal!

Considérant qu’un logement coopératif est un modèle de propriété collective à but non lucratif, autogéré par ses membres. Les membres-locataires participent activement à la sélection des futurs résidents ainsi qu’à la gestion et à la vie communautaire de l’immeuble. 

Considérant que les valeurs de la Coopérative d'habitation du Quartier chinois sont les suivantes :

  • Mettre en valeur l'importance culturelle et historique du Quartier chinois
  • Favoriser une communauté de résidents sécuritaire, équitable et inclusive
  • Développer un immeuble écologiquement et économiquement durable
  • Encourager la responsabilité collective, la participation et l'entraide de tous ses résidents
  • Contribuer activement à la vitalité et au dynamisme du Quartier chinois

Considérant que la Coopérative vise à offrir une gamme de logements abordables et à loyer modéré destinés aux professionnels, aux retraités, aux artistes, aux travailleurs communautaires et culturels, ainsi qu'aux familles multigénérationnelles avec enfants et aînés.

Nous, soussignés, appuyons le projet de la Coopérative d'habitation du Quartier chinois d'acquérir et d'aménager sa coopérative dans le Quartier chinois de Montréal, qui comprendra un espace polyvalent à usage communautaire.

I’m supporting the Chinatown Housing Co-op because I believe Montreal’s Chinatown needs more affordable, community-centered housing for the people who work, volunteer, and contribute to the neighborhood. I want to help preserve Chinatown’s cultural and community life while building a more inclusive, sustainable, and vibrant future for everyone.

I lived in a multigenerational household with my grandparents in a Chinese family and would love to see the experience be available for today’s and future generations. Very important to help keep the Cantonese language alive and thriving.

It's important to bring back affordable housing back in Chinatown, so that it can continue to survive as a living neighbourhood, not just for commerce.

I would love to live there with the aunties and the food. We could grow a garden together and organize activities!

The Chinese came to Canada in the 1850s with 17,000 workers to help build the railroad which helped build this country. Note that the railroad was a source of transport and commerce and all major cities were able to grow because of the railroad. Subsequently, the Chinese built businesses to support the local communities and later generations more became professionals to contribute their labour and smarts to progress corporations. It is important to keep part of the Chinese heritage intact.
