Mixed-Income Housing
Our ownership model is the first of its kind in Canada, created so that no one pays more than 30-35% of their household’s net income each month, and when they leave they are repaid some of this with interest. This ensures affordability for all.
Sustainable Design
We’ve designed all aspects of the farm and community based on permaculture principles. Energy-efficient homes, access to walking paths and ponds, and a 57-acre chemical-free farm highlight our commitment to climate resilience and low environmental impact.
Inclusive Community
In our mixed-income and intergenerational cohousing village, this is a welcome place for members of different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and lifestyles. Connection is built through shared spaces for crafts, fitness & yoga, library & office, children & teen activities, music, and a large kitchen and dining area for common meals 5 nights/week.

“I chose Killick Ecovillage for more everyday connection — coffee with friends, a walk in the woods, yoga class, shared meals, playdates, chats at the mailbox — no car, no overplanning.”
- Serena, St. Philip's NL
"As a senior, living in community means I can age in place with my grandchildren close by. I look forward to painting and creating with the children and the simple joys of watching ducks on the pond and walking the trails at home. Life feels richer when shared across generations."
— Norma, Portugal Cove NL
Being part of this community gives me access to farm land that I would not be able to afford otherwise. It allows me to supply food for our members (and beyond) in a way that is in line with our members values such as chemical-free produce, stewarding wetland habitats, and working with nature to produce our food.

We're co-creating a community that really aligns with my values around sustainability and connection."

"It takes a Village"... people from whom you can borrow a cup of sugar, share a coffee or a glass of wine on your porch, enjoy community bbqs and dinners, watch your children play together, hiking and splashing on the beach, growing veg and collecting eggs... Knowing your neighbours and having that support network. Can`t wait to live there!
