SUMMARY:Decolonizing Community Land Trusts in Canada
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the 2026 Global Community Land Trust (CLT) Virtual Summit\, a six-week series of online events from May 5 – June 10. Explore the full program and register for more events here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn May 26\, the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts will host a panel exploring how CLTs can support processes of decolonization through community stewardship of land. \n\n\n\nBringing together land trust initiatives from across so-called Canada\, this session will highlight how organizations are engaging with rematriation\, Land Back\, cultural resurgence\, and housing justice within settler-colonial contexts. Speakers will share experiences from both established and emerging initiatives\, including efforts to secure permanently affordable housing\, support Indigenous-led governance\, and reclaim land for cultural and ecological purposes. \n\n\n\nGrounded in diverse regional experiences—from urban neighborhoods in Vancouver to Indigenous-led initiatives in Northern Ontario and Kingston—the discussion will examine both the possibilities and tensions of using CLT models within existing legal and political systems. The session will also reflect on key questions around governance\, language\, and the role of women and Two-Spirit leadership in shaping land stewardship practices. \n\n\n\nDesigned for CLT practitioners\, policymakers\, and others engaged in land and housing justice\, this session will offer insights into how CLTs can be adapted to support Indigenous leadership and decolonial approaches to land. The event will be conducted in English\, with interpretation available in French and live captions available in 60+ languages to support accessibility. \n\n\n\nThe global #CLTVirtualSummit2026 is a six-week series of free online events running May 5 – June 10\, 2026\, and anchored by World CLT Day on May 15. Organized by CLT and community land networks from around the world\, the summit brings together practitioners\, residents\, organizers\, and allies to reclaim and honor the Black and Indigenous leadership traditions that gave rise to the CLT model and continue to shape community land stewardship globally. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCultural Land Trust (British Columbia)\n\n\n\nThe Cultural Land Trust is an emerging initiative in British Columbia focusing on securing space for artists and cultural organizations. Supported by 221A during its development phase\, emerging research explores strategies land trusts can employ to foster reciprocal relationships with host nations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDowntown Eastside Community Land Trust (British Columbia)\n\n\n\nThe Downtown Eastside Community Land Trust is working to secure permanently deeply affordable housing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside neighbourhood. Founded in 2020 by local organizations—and guided by Indigenous leadership\, Elders\, and tenant voices—the organization frames community ownership as part of a broader effort to decolonize housing systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTemiskaming District Community Land Trust (Ontario)\n\n\n\nThe Temiskaming District Community Land Trust is forming to address housing insecurity faced by Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people in Northern Ontario. Grounded in land reclamation and matrilineal governance\, the emerging land trust will be governed by and for Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people\, enabling them to design\, build\, and steward their own housing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll Our Relations Land Trust (Ontario)\n\n\n\nAll Our Relations Land Trust\, founded in 2022\, enables the urban Indigenous community to take direct action for biodiversity restoration and cultural resurgence in Katarokwi (Kingston\, Ontario). Its flagship project\, the Indigenous Food Sovereignty Garden\, creates space for community cultivation\, ceremony\, and ecological restoration. In 2024\, the land was gifted by the United Church of Canada\, highlighting a meaningful example of reconciliation through land return. \n\n\n\nEvent Organizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupport this work\n\n\n\nThe CLT Center convenes practitioners\, researchers\, and communities from different regions to share experiences and strengthen the CLT movement globally. This event is free and open to all.
