SPICE Management Group Inc. has become one of the leading organizations in co-operative housing BC, recognized for its innovative and community-focused approach to co-op housing management. As one of the province’s top non-profit and affordable housing industry leaders, SPICE is known for reducing operating costs, increasing organizational capacity, and supporting strong communities. Through a unique management model tailored specifically for co-operative housing BC, SPICE continues to help co-ops maintain long-term affordability and sustainable governance across the Lower Mainland.

Co-operative Housing BC Management Company Strengthening Affordable Communities

SPICE Management Group was named one of BC’s Top 10 Non-Profit and Affordable Housing Industry Leaders by the Canadian Design and Construction Report.
The selection process evaluated:

Leadership roles within the BC Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA)
Organizational history and community impact
Innovation in co-op management
Contributions to affordable housing across British Columbia

With deep industry knowledge, SPICE helps co-ops secure the best value for essential services such as:

Garbage collection
Insurance
Elevator maintenance
Construction and repair services

SPICE also maintains an efficient arrears collection system to minimize bad debt while identifying opportunities for grants and low-interest financing. These strategies deliver significant cost savings, allowing co-ops to reinvest in long-term sustainability, capital upgrades, and better member services.

A Social-Enterprise Approach to Co-operative Housing BC Management

Co-op housing boards often face heavy workloads involving arrears, maintenance planning, documentation, and coordination of essential services. SPICE’s management system eases these pressures by reducing administrative burdens and improving operational efficiency.

Unlike traditional property management companies, SPICE operates with a social-enterprise mindset—helping co-ops reduce stress while maintaining affordability. From its Delta, BC office, SPICE supports numerous co-ops with services rooted in transparency, community values, and responsible financial stewardship.

CEO John Waldo highlights the strength of SPICE’s diverse 19-member team:
“Our team is incredibly passionate about providing affordable housing in the Lower Mainland. We’re big enough to take on complex challenges, but small enough to work closely as a cohesive, communicative team.”

SPICE’s service model enhances governance and supports volunteer boards rather than replacing them.

Improving Co-operative Housing BC Buildings and Long-Term Asset Planning

SPICE is actively involved in upgrading and refurbishing co-op buildings throughout BC, including:

Roof replacements
New windows and doors
Siding and exterior upgrades
Bathroom and kitchen renovations
Plumbing and piping improvements

Beyond capital repairs, SPICE assists co-ops with land-use planning and redevelopment—particularly for seniors, people with disabilities, and families needing additional space.

Most importantly, SPICE helps expand co-op capacity and improve building conditions without raising charges for existing members, keeping affordability at the heart of co-operative housing BC.
