WindSong members (homeowners and tenants) meet on the first Friday of each month to discuss issues, receive proposals and make decisions. Many members also meet in small groups at other times to explore issues that will eventually come to the monthly meeting.
WindSong accomplishes most of its community administration, cleaning and maintenance through a participatory Community Contribution System (CCS).
CCS encompasses administration, building maintenance, cleaning & tidying, community relations and outdoor teams. Members are encouraged to choose the jobs they're most comfortable with and are expected to contribute at least three hours of labour (or equivalent payment) each month. This system allows us to keep our strata fees low while building a strong sense of shared responsibility.
WindSong’s governance and management requires reliable and frequent communications. We use a community e-mail group for ongoing discussions and announcements. We also have a community newsletter and since we live so close together, there are lots of opportunities for face-to-face communications!
