OCHI and our community work

OCHI — Our Community Health Initiative Cooperative — is a registered Canadian charity focused on community development. Its programmes bring people together through education, creative gatherings and practical support, with attention to inclusion across genders and generations.

OCHI and Tau are separate cooperatives with a shared history. The charity’s work and Tau’s arts programmes connect through the people, skills and relationships that sustain them.
