“the Most Exciting Affordable Housing Project in Canada right now.”

Housing affordability has reached crisis levels affecting more and more Canadians, and at the same time, we have to drastically change the way we design our communities to ease our environmental impact.

How will your donation help?

This project has grown from the seed of an idea through generous local and federal grants and the contributions of dozens of community members and monthly sustainers has allowed us to purchase the beautiful 46 acres of land in Owen Sound.


The next stage of the project is wildly expensive, bringing on expert teams to help with the geological, civil engineering, planning and architectural studies to get us to shovels in the ground.

Your donation at this vital stage will turn Glassworks into a living model for how to live better on our planet and within our means.  


Donate now to receive a charitable tax receipt through out Partners at the Small Change Fund.

Or, become a monthly sustainer - monthly contributions from supporters like you help to pay the mortgage on the land and support our part time staff person.
