OSCA Welcomes the Peterborough Student Co-op
The mission of the Peterborough Student Co-operative is to establish a cooperative residence in downtown Peterborough at affordable rates for students. There is currently a housing shortage for students in Peterborough and this initiative was started by Trent students seeking to address the lack of housing options. This initiative has been building since November of 2009 and currently has approximately 100 founding members from Trent University, the Peterborough Community, members of the administration and members of other co-operatives. The operational revenue of the organization is funded by a student levy paid by all full-time undergraduates at Trent University. The Board of Directors are currently working with a business consultant with the top three potential sites for the co-operative. Click Here to learn more about each of the three sites.
