Construction of Little Falls Co-operative Homes ("Little Falls Co-op") began in 1994. As each unit was completed, a new member would move in. Various new members joined the Co-op from September through to December of 1994 and a ceremony was held on January 1, 1995, marking the official opening date of Little Falls Co-op.

 

Little Falls Co-op was originally planned as three rows of two-story apartments. However, the design was revised to align with new provincial inclusion mandates aimed at ensuring equitable access to housing. The final layout includes two rows of townhouses and a two-story apartment building. The goal of the Co-op is to provide comfortable, dignified housing that members can take pride in—fostering a sense of community and long-term residency, where members contribute to the upkeep and success of the Co-op, helping to keep costs affordable for everyone.

​

Little Falls Co-op operates under the legal framework set out by the Co-operative Corporations Act (R.S.O. 1990, c. C.35) and its Regulation (R.R.O. 1990, Regulation 178), which govern the incorporation, operation, and dissolution of co-operatives in Ontario. As a housing provider, we also comply with the Housing Services Act, 2011, which sets standards for rent-geared-to-income housing and guides our relationship with municipal service managers. In addition, Little Falls Co-op is governed by our own By-laws, which reflect and support these laws while addressing the specific needs of our members and community.
