Fiddlehead Commons is creating a fun, livable cohousing space near Ottawa for individuals and families who value inclusivity and community. This will be a multigenerational community, situated in Almonte, an historic town of Lanark County.
The core group is seeking households of diverse ages, family sizes, and backgrounds to join them in exploring and creating their future home!
The group is guided by their chosen core values of:
Caring · Environmental Responsibility
· Trust · Joy and Openness
The Mississippi River of Eastern Ontario courses through Almonte, supporting old mills, riverfront restaurants and walking trails. While it is within a 45 minute drive to Ottawa, Almonte has all the amenities needed to prosper independently, including its own hospital, high school, commercial district and a vibrant community life for its residents. The municipality of Mississippi Mills, in which Almonte is situated, is welcoming of cohousing.
