Liberated Land Trusts: How Black-Led Community Land Trusts are Reimagining Development in Canada

Join us for a dynamic conversation with leaders from Black-led, Black-serving, and Black-focusing (B3) community land trusts across Canada. We’ll explore how B3 CLTs are not simply participating in the housing system, but are advancing an alternative development paradigm rooted in reparative action, Afrocentric design, and collective stewardship. From building co-operative homes to safeguarding heritage buildings, we will explore the transformative impacts already emerging.
