Building Community Since 1983
Tecumseh Co-operative Homes is a non-profit corporation whose business is to provide its members with affordable housing, and whose goal is to be a succesful, self-reliant community. We like to pride ourselves on our commitment to family and friends. You will find that living in a Co-op is much better than any other community!
Incorporated in 1983, Tecumseh is conveniently located near Erin Mills Parkway and Highway 401 in Mississauga, Ontario. Tecumseh was a Shawnee leader who played a very significant role in the War of 1812.
The co-op is governed by the “Co-operative Corporations Act” of Ontario, therefore, the residents are members, not tenants. The members of Tecumseh elect nine of their fellow members to the Board of Directors, whose job is to manage the co-operative.
The Board normally meet once a month. Their duties include: approving the yearly budget, direction of the office staff, overseeing co-op projects, and looking after the well-being of the co-op and its membership.
Each year, at the Annual General Members meeting, there is an election to vote in new Board members to replace those who have completed their term.
Our Units
Tecumseh Co-op consists of 113 two-, three- and four-bedroom townhouses. Each townhouse has two stories consisting of a full garage, a front lawn and fenced back yard. The three- and four-bedroom units have an additional ground floor powder room.
The Co-op also has a Community Centre with full kitchen facilities, an outside playground for the children, plus five areas dedicated to visitor parking.
Our Values
Co-operatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and caring for others.
