Copernicus Lodge has 200 Self Contained Apartments that are a mix of:

• Bachelor (3D Tour)
• One Bedroom (3D Tour)
• Rent geared to income (Subsidized)
• Market Rent
• Supportive Housing or CCAC services for those who qualify (24hrs)

Apartment rates are set by the Ministry of Health. Tenants can apply for a subsidy. If a tenant qualifies for a subsidy, the rental rate will be based on the tenant’s income and assets. Once a subsidy is received, an annual review of the tenant’s income and assets must be completed in order to continue to receive the subsidy. This review generally takes place in the late summer.

The tenant is responsible for providing proof of renter’s insurance with coverage of no less than $1 million. Copernicus Lodge can provide a referral for coverage.

For current rates; please contact communications@copernicuslodge.com

Rental amounts include utilities (except telephone and cable services). A deposit of the last month’s rent is required. All units are air-conditioned, electrically heated, and contain as fully equipped kitchen. Copernicus Lodge does not provide furnishings.
