Administrative history
In 1944 six families got together to discuss lack of affordable housing in Kingston. Those charter members were the Epplett, Estall, Hay, Kropp, Lash and Lee families. These discussions eventually led to the formation of the Grenville Park Co-operative Housing Association. The Association was officially incorporated on July 3rd, 1946. It was the first "co-operative community" in Ontario to provide affordable, suburban housing for a group of young professionals. It continues to operate today.
