The Sustainable Development Corporation du developpement durable SDC-CDD is a Tiohtiake (greater Montreal region) Canadian Non-Profit since 1994 working in a participatory inter-disciplinary way with students, citizens, organizations, business, institutions & governments on ecological-economic design.


Project Description: 
In 2008, SDC-CDD completed a Feasibility Study reviewing engineering and architectural features, as well as resident health & community factors, for the conversion of the Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue 1944 Municipal Water Tower into an ecological building for affordable housing and research. This project was financed by the Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corporation (CMHC) SEED program. The mayor of Ste-Anne has asked us to continue preparations for a next stage. We are presently refining the designs as well as arranging financing, developers & builders. Our goal in Ste-Anne & 3 other sites across Tiohtiake is to create inclusive Ecological Co-housing communities in tradition of the Longhouse (Place of the Extended Rafters).
