Chilliwack, BC

 

Bethesda is seeking an on-site caretaker couple or family for a beautiful and well-established 10-unit townhouse community in Chilliwack, BC. Opened in 2016, the Vedder Terrace community has become a place rich in belonging for people with and without disabilities. People who, with their unique contributions and their personal dreams and goals, have created a vibrant community and lifestyle that reflects their shared commitment to inclusion and interdependence.

At Vedder Terrace Intentional Community, everyone belongs and is empowered to shape their own life. Each person has the freedom to choose how they live—who visits their home, where they work, what they eat, how they decorate, what activities they enjoy, and which friendships and relationships they nurture. Rooted in shared values and common goals, community members encourage and uplift one another, building a vibrant, unified home where diversity is celebrated and every voice matters. If you feel a call to bring your gifts and skills to this incredible community, you may be the caretakers we are seeking.
