The strength of the Parkdale Neighbourhood Land Trust is our community -- you, our residents, organizational partners and supporters -- working together to protect the social, cultural and economic diversity of Parkdale.
At the core of our community-controlled model are our committees, where we convert strategic zeal into actionable plans and impact! The committees support both the PNLT's and NLT's work. Each committee typically meets once a month in person or virtually, or as needed. Current committees include:
The
Acquisition Committee plays a central role in supporting staff to prepare and execute property acquisitions and associated financial planning. The work involves reviewing property due diligence reports, pro formas, and overall business plans. This is an invite-only committee due to the specialized expertise needed and confidential nature of the discussions. If you are interested, please request an invitation!
The
Governance Committee takes a lead in developing the policy and governance framework for the Land Trust to support stewardship of our team, board, volunteers, partners and priorities, and seeks to apply an equity lens that reflects our values and principles.
The Resource Development Committee takes the lead in organizing fundraising campaigns for core operations and works with staff to identify grant opportunities and build relationships with funders and donors.
The Communications & Community Engagement Committee focuses on developing and delivering leadership development workshops for our core members (residents and users of our properties), developing and delivering public workshops (including board education workshops), organizing community forums, and leading annual community event planning. This committee is currently on hiatus, and we are seeking interested members for when it starts back up!
Are you interested in supporting Parkdale's Neighbourhood Land Trust through one of our Committees? If so, please fill this form and we'll get back to you in the coming month with more details. For more information, please contact info@pnlt.ca.
