Baba Yaga

Mission: Inspired by an innovative French alternative to traditional living facilities for seniors, a Toronto group is working to create our version to be made in Canada.

From www.ic.org/directory/baba-yaga/:

Baba Yaga Place Toronto is an innovative model of living, that will support community members to age within their own walls, through mutual care and surrounded by like-minded companions, while pursuing both their personal interests and commitment to the broader community. The foundation for Baba Yaga Place in Toronto will be based on the following principles:
(1) Governance: A self-managed model where key decisions are made by the residents themselves;
(2) Feminism: Commitment to equality, equity, and social justice, with a particular focus on the empowerment of women;
(3) Interdependence : Respect for each other’s personal autonomy and privacy, while supporting each other;
(4) Community engagement: Involvement with the political, social, and cultural life of the broader community; and
(5) Environmental responsibility: Commitment to environmental sustainability and environmental justice.
