Barsa Kelly/Cari-Can Co-operative Homes Inc. is a non profit housing co-oporative initiated by a group of community minded people who recognized the need for quality affordable housing. These people came from two groups the Ontario Coalition of Visible Minority Women and the Congress of Black Women of Canada. The Co op opened its doors in August 1993 and it has been home to many families and many of whom are still living here.
The Co-op is open to people who support co-operative principles and want to be part of a racially and culturally diverse community.
