Our mission is community conservation: to acquire, hold, and steward space of all kinds ensuring its highest and best use for the community, now and into the future. Community conservation is the idea of removing space from the speculative market, preserving it as permanently accessible, affordable, and sustainable space for those who live, work, and raise their families in the Bow Valley.
From Mini Thni to Lake Louise, the community known as the Bow Valley can benefit from a community land trust.
Belonging is community.
Everyone has an intrinsic need to be valued, respected, and have access to inclusive and welcoming spaces within a community. A sense of place provides a shared identity and well-being crucial to feeling at home within the community.
Connection strengthens community.
We are committed to create opportunities for meaningful connections within community. We recognize that strong relationships and networks are the foundation of a thriving and mutually supportive environment.
Consideration shapes community.
We respect and honour both the history and the future of the land. Creating spaces that are based on fairness, cooperation, reciprocity, and trust builds a healthy community and a thriving circular economy.

Indigenous existence on Turtle Island reaches back to time immemorial.
We recognize that Indigenous people are the keepers and defenders of the land, animals and water. We acknowledge the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original people in what we now know as Canada. We believe that Community, Arts + Culture contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we gratefully acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples. This includes the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations (Bearspaw, Goodstoney, Chiniki), the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina in Treaty 7 region, also traditionally, spirituality, and culturally shared with Ktunaxa, Secwépemc, Mountain Cree, and the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory.
