“Co-op Housing Project Flourishes,” The Hamilton Spectator

The priests and the planners sincerely wanted working people to take advantage of this method of homebuilding. Perhaps the keenest of all was Bob Walsh, mentioned in the article as a contact. Also mentioned are the Ottawa co-op group in Hull and other co-ops forming throughout the province. To readers, the co-op idea would have sounded feasible.

Members of the organization which is known at the present as Hamilton cooperative housing meet weekly to study a course which has been supplied by Saint Patrick’s College of Ottawa the people are divided into groups of 25 and 30 and these in turn are formed into smaller groups of 6 or 7 the weekly meetings of the smaller groups are held in homes while a monthly meeting is held at cathedral high school
