Davenport Community Land Trust
Ward 9, Toronto, Canada - 2025–ongoingThe Davenport Community Land Trust is a grassroots initiative working to permanently protect land and housing in one of Toronto's most culturally dense and rapidly changing neighbourhoods. Operating at the intersection of governance design, community research, and land stewardship, the trust is building the organizational infrastructure including bylaws, membership structures, reconciliation mechanisms, and long-term strategy, in order to transfer land out of the speculative market and into collective care.
The work maps familiarity and need across the ward, tracing the relationships between people, place, and belonging that make a neighbourhood worth protecting.
