Ownership & Governance
Southwynd Place is owned by the Kiwanis-Soroptimist (1974) Senior Citizens Housing Society, a Vancouver non-profit that has provided affordable independent-living housing to seniors for more than fifty years. The redevelopment will remain non-profit owned in perpetuity.
The Society was founded by two Vancouver service organizations, and its directors are drawn from both.
