The CLT Summit is Canada’s largest gathering of community land trusts (CLTs) and their supporters.
Join us in Vancouver from October 18 to 20 for three full days of panel discussions, hands-on workshops, walking tours, collaborative activities, and more. The first two days will take place at 312 Main in the Downtown Eastside while the third day is reserved for sites tour of three local community land trusts.
This is the second annual conference, following 2023’s Toronto convening. Since then, the momentum of Canada’s CLT movement has only grown!
The Summit will gather more than 200 delegates representing CLT practitioners, funders, policymakers, researchers, housing professionals, activists, and more. Community land trusts are encouraged to bring their staff, board, and members.
Vancouver is home to a growing cluster of community land trusts demonstrating the many potentials of community-owned land, including:
The conference is $300 to attend in person, with discounts available to members of the CNCLT.
New: You can now purchase livestream passes to remotely view the majority of Summit programming. See the linked agenda for which sessions will be livestreamed. Use the same registration link to purchase livestream passes.
New: A special seminar, Catalyzing Co-ops on Community Land, is now being offered on Monday by the Community Land Trust Foundation of BC. This is a rare opportunity to learn the mechanics behind the organization’s successful development and renewal of cooperative housing using a land trust model. The session is only open to CNCLT members and you must register separately.
What attendees enjoyed last year:
“I loved the diversity of examples that can all be held by a CLT. I was really happy to learn more about about pathways to acquisition and financing.”
“I liked the welcoming feel of the conference. It felt very informal, which I think is a result of the close community of CLTs, but also do the fact that many CLTs were also volunteering to help run it. I just felt very comfortable to chat with others.”
“The opportunity to listen to multiple perspectives from people in and around the CLT and land justice movements, from people at various points in their organization’s maturity, and to make personal connections with colleagues.”
“The people! It was such a great networking opportunity – and exciting to get to see what all these people are doing, and where the energy is in the sector.”
