Updates

The Canadian Land Trust Standards and Practices were originally published by the Canadian Land Trust Alliance (CLTA). In May 2019, the CLTA changed its name to the Centre for Land Conservation
(CLC). The CLC is now the official licensee of the Canadian Land Trust Standards and Practices and the document has been updated accordingly. No revisions were made to the document beyond edits needed to reflect the change in name.
