About us
The Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts (CNCLT) is a network of over 35 emerging and established community land trusts and allied organizations working together to ensure the success and growth of the Community Land Trust (CLT) model throughout Canada. The goal of the CNCLT is to support the growth of community land trusts with the primary purposes of providing permanently affordable housing and other community assets that serve low-to-moderate income people. CNCLT was established in July 2017 in response to renewed interest and emerging challenges associated with the CLTs in Canada. Since establishment, the CNCLT has organized regular peer-to-peer networking meetings, knowledge exchanges, and webinars on CLTs. In 2021 CNCLT formally incorporated as a non-profit corporation after receiving funding from the CMHC Demonstrations Initiatives, under the Scaling Stream, to develop a Technical Assistance Program to support the growth of Canadian CLTs. We recognize that the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts and its members are working on the traditional territories of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people. Centuries of colonialism have dispossessed Indigenous people of lands they have stewarded since time immemorial. Operating within a landscape of stolen land and broken treaties, it is imperative that the Network and its members support Indigenous self-determination and land restitution through tangible actions.

Big shoes to fill over at the Community Land Trust foundation of BC. Tiffany, your leadership and impact is immeasurable, both at the land trust and the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts. Thank you for being both a champion and innovator of community housing land trusts in Canada.
After nearly 10 years with Community Land Trust (CLT), Executive Director Tiffany Duzita is saying goodbye to pursue a new opportunity in the private sector. As our CEO Thom Armstrong put it: "Over the course of the last ten years, Tiffany has built the organization from a modest operation with a single employee to the most accomplished and admired social purpose real estate developer in the entire country." On behalf of all of us at CLT and the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC, we wish Tiffany all the best, and want her to know we'll miss her very much!

That's a wrap, folks! Our second annual #CLTSummit was an incredible international gathering of folks from across Turtle Island working towards a transformative vision of communities stewarding the land which sustains them. Thank you to the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations for their thousands of years stewarding the beautiful land on which we gathered. We were incredibly lucky to meet and learn from Indigenous leaders and matriarchs from the Downtown Eastside Community Land Trust, Xaxe Tenew Sacred Lands Society, Women of First Light, and Sogorea Te Land Trust. A special thank you to the growing cohort of Black-led community land trusts working towards cultural redress and daylighting the often invisiblised legacy of Black people in Canada: Hogan's Alley Society, Little Jamaica Community Land Trust, Upper Hammonds Plains Community Land Trust, Weymouth Falls CLT, DownTheMarsh CLT, New Roots Community Land Trust and other emerging African Nova Scotian community land trusts. Thank you to our other local CLTs who support the Summit: Community Land Trust and Cultural Land Trust. Thank you to our amazing slate of speakers - far too many to tag in the post. Thank you to the 312 Main team for the perfect venue, Showstream Technology Inc. for A/V, and HAVE Culinary Training Society for catering. Thank you to our major sponsors Tapestry Community Capital, Vancity Community Investment Bank, Vancity Community Foundation, Balanced Supply of Housing Node, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement(SCHL), and Community Housing Transformation Centre. When I say land, you say ?
