The findings of Indigenous/non-Indigenous practitioners say CLTs have the potential to redefine the concept of ‘land ownership’ to better align with Indigenous worldviews, emphasizing the intergenerational responsibility to protect & steward the land for future generations.
In honour of #TruthandReconiliation Day, we explore the work of Tiana Lewis (Master’s student, Indigenous Community Planning, UBC) and Maggie Low (Assistant Professor, UBC SCARP) investigating what CLT models can offer decolonization efforts and the land back movement in Canada.

More could be accomplished if the Federal Government and PMJT worked with the provinces to introduce these types of changes at the provincial level resulting in all communities benefiting from more housing: cbc.ca/news/politics/…
The funding is expected to result in 2,000 more homes, and city-wide rezoning to allow up to 6 units on a property will also help with the construction of thousands of additional housing units in the future.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcement of $74 million in funding for London, Ontario, under the Housing Accelerator Fund is a start in the right direction, for meeting @CMHC_ca targets.
