Land, Held, Together.

Community ownership for community benefit.

Over 10 years of impact!

Since 2014, the Parkdale Neighbourhood Land Trust (PNLT) has strengthened our community by bringing land and homes into community ownership, promoting long-term community benefits and housing affordability through community-based research and education, and fostering democratic local planning and control. Along with our charity, the Neighbourhood Land Trust (NLT), we have preserved housing affordability for over 200 households in Toronto’s west end.
