Committees
Don Area Co-op committees are made up of volunteers from our membership, in some cases appointed by the board. They deal with various aspects of co-op life, each in a specific area. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to become involved with a committee. Some of them are:
Administrative: assists with the development of administrative policy, maintenance of archival records, and upkeep of office and meeting room areas.
Arrears: implements the arrears policy, and negotiates repayment agreements with members in financial difficulty.
By-law: revises and develops by-laws as needed.
Capital Projects: plans and undertakes large renovation projects.
Communications: responsible for the websites and distributing information to the membership. In 2025 Communications joined with the Member Education committee to develop and update the online Member Handbook and ensure that educational opportunities are available to all members.
Finance: prepares the annual budget, and monitors spending throughout the year.
Grounds: plans and carries out the upkeep of the grounds and the parking lot.
Maintenance: oversees regular maintenance and implements maintenance policy.
Membership: shows vacant units, interviews applicants and monitors occupancy by-law issues such as the number of people living in each unit.
On-Call: provides emergency maintenance service to members when staff is not on site.
Rent Supplement: assists with the administration of the housing charge subsidy program.
