Prospect of Whitby

228 Wait Avenue

Prospect of Whitby is one of the university’s cooperative residences, a collaborative and independent community governed by its student residents.

The co-op is a warm and open house where members commit to working toward the good of the house and its residents, toward resolving any conflicts in an open and accepting forum, and toward promoting group unity. The co-op is managed by elected officers and house policies are decided democratically at house meetings. Members share in house upkeep with weekly house jobs. Dinners are prepared by members and food staples are available for individual use.
