The Burrows-Keewatin area was first developed in the early 60's, when the City built a low-cost housing development which was federally and provincially subsidized, on a section of land in Northwest Winnipeg. At the same time, a group primarily interested in promoting and building Housing Co-operatives, was incorporated as the Co-operative Housing Association of Manitoba (CHAM). They developed plans to build townhouse units in the same area of the City. The City agreed to lease 11.6 acres of land for 60 years to CHAM for $50,000.00, to develop the Willow Park Community. On March 1, 1961 Willow Park Housing Co-Op Ltd. was incorporated as the first major continuing housing Co-Operative in Canada. On November 9, 1970, a second continuing housing co-op was incorporated as Willow Park East Housing Co-Op Ltd. and built in the Willow Park Community. Willow Centre was eventually incorporated on December 23, 1970 as a result of needing a community place which would provide services for its members.
