Asgard Green Co-operative Homes Inc

Asgard Green Co-operative Homes is a 70-unit townhouse complex providing market rent and rent-geared-to-income housing for its members. Asgard Co-op began in September 1990 when the first members came together to create a new community. We have two, three and four bedroom townhouses with full-sized, unfinished basements and fully fenced yards. Four of our homes are single level, two-bedroom, barrier-free units. In 2022 all homes were fitted with ductless A/C and heating units which compliment the baseboard heaters that came with each house. To date we have an ongoing Capital Repair Project which has updated every unit and refreshed the whole community. Included in the 2021-23 Project is new roofing, upgraded windows and siding, new fencing and road pavement and improved external lighting for safety and ease of seeing at night.

Asgard Green is in a great location nestled right alongside the Iron Horse Trail off Cherry Street and close to downtown Kitchener. Many amenities are within walking distance, including bus stops, schools, grocery stores and pharmacies. Asgard Green is a wonderful place for families, with its proximity to schools and parks; Victoria Park and Cherry Park are a short walk away. At the center of our complex is a community centre and playground for member use. The co-op is also bordered by Schneider Creek, which is a haven for wildlife and birds with a community garden across the street.

As a housing co-operative, we are committed to building and maintaining a friendly, diverse, family safe community where members work together for the betterment of the whole community. We bring people together for holidays, events, and activities. Our annual gatherings include community clean-ups, AGMs and ABMs. Asgard Green is a vibrant community full of opportunity for community building and involvement and aims to be inclusive and celebrate our diversity.

The co-op is governed by their internal Co-op By-laws, the Co-operative Corporations Act, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights Code. The membership elects a board of directors from the volunteers in the community. This group meets monthly to make decisions and review information important to the operation of the co-op. Members at large are responsible for volunteering monthly at the co-op to help keep costs down; lawn maintenance, snow removal, empty unit preparation, various committees etc.
