BACKGROUND
Canada Lands Company Limited ("CLCL") is a self-financing agent Crown corporation reporting to the Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Public Services and Procurement. It was established in 1956 by letters patent and reactivated in 1995. CLCL is a Canada Business Corporations Act corporation and is listed in Schedule III, Part 1 of the Financial Administration Act. It is an agent of Her Majesty.
CLCL has three subsidiaries:
- Canada Lands Company CLC Limited (“CLC”), a non-agent Crown corporation, which manages the Corporation’s real estate interests as well as Canada’s National Tower in Toronto, Ontario (CN Tower);
- Parc Downsview Park Inc., an agent Crown corporation (“PDP”), which manages the operations at Downsview Park and the Downsview Lands in Toronto, Ontario;
- The Downsview Lands comprise approximately 572 acres (231 hectares) encompassing several proposed neighbourhoods, including Downsview Park. and
- Old Port of Montréal Corporation Inc. (“OPMC”), an agent Crown corporation, which owns and operates the Old Port of Montréal and includes the Montréal Science Centre.
CLCL is comprised of a Governor-in-Council appointed Chairman, Board of Directors and one employee who is the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The President and CEO of CLCL is also the President and CEO and a board member of CLC, PDP and OPMC.
RESPONSIBILITIES
As CLCL holds no assets, it fulfills its mandate and operates its real estate and attractions activities through its CLC, OPMC and PDP subsidiaries.
The mandate of CLCL, as approved by the Government in 1995 and renewed in 2001, is “to ensure the commercially oriented, orderly disposition of selected surplus real properties with best value to the Canadian taxpayer and the holding of certain properties”. In addition to financial considerations, CLCL’s mandate stipulates that other strategic considerations of the Government be taken into account as required, including “the views of affected communities and other levels of Government, and heritage and environmental issues.”
Through its commercially oriented non-agent CLC subsidiary, CLCL ensures the orderly disposition of surplus strategic properties, maintains ownership or management of certain properties which benefit from a federal presence such as the CN Tower and pursues the realization of both financial and community objectives.
INSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONS, PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
CLCL achieves part of its mandate through CLC, which is to purchase strategic surplus properties at fair market value then improve, manage or sell them in order to produce the best possible benefits for both local communities and CLCL’s sole shareholder, the Government of Canada. CLC operates in two related business sectors in order to produce the optimal return on its work, to the benefit of all Canadians.
Real Estate and Development
Real estate and development is an important facet of the work CLC undertakes to improve the value of a given asset. Following the purchase of a development property at fair market value, CLC may elect to develop, hold or sell a property. With development it initiates a community consultation process, from which input is collected to create an appropriate plan for the property and surrounding context. CLC will then seek relevant approvals from all levels of local government.
Attractions
CLC is one of the country’s largest attractions operators. The company has an established track record of consistent financial success managing and operating some of Canada’s most iconic and historically significant landmarks. CLC has particularly excelled in developing innovative marketing programs to attract visitors and guests even during difficult economic conditions.

Background
Canada Lands Company CLC Limited (“CLC”) is a self-financing, federal commercial Crown corporation. CLC’s parent company and sole shareholder is Canada Lands Company Limited, which reports to the Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Public Services and Procurement. CLC has the same principal goal in its policy mandate as its parent company, which is to ensure the commercially oriented, orderly disposition of selected surplus federal real properties with optimal value to the Canadian taxpayer and the holding and managing of certain properties. This was laid out by the government in 1995 and then reconfirmed in 2001. The realization of optimal value recognizes financial value, economic stimulation and the strengthening of the quality of life in communities where the company operates.
CLC receives no government appropriations and pays any profits not required for its operations as annual dividends to the federal government. Since its reactivation in 1995, CLC has achieved success in its many endeavours across the country, including contributions of over $1-billion to the Government of Canada as payment for properties, elimination of carrying costs and payment of taxes and declarations of dividends.
Canada Lands Company CLC Limited also holds and operates certain properties, such as the CN Tower.
RESPONSIBILITIES
CLC’s role in the disposal of surplus properties is described in Treasury Board’s Directive on the Sale or Transfer of Surplus Real Property, which permits custodians to only sell to CLC those specific surplus federal real properties or portfolios identified as strategic. Strategic surplus real properties are properties or portfolios of properties with the potential for significantly enhanced value, those that are highly sensitive, or a combination of these factors.
Because of the complexity associated with these properties, they may require innovative efforts and a comprehensive management approach to move them into the market. As such, CLC follows transparent processes and ensures that it remains sensitive to local real estate market conditions.
CLC works regularly with federal, provincial and municipal stakeholders. CLC ensures broad market exposure and competitive bidding. It also maintains a commitment to environmental sustainability in its projects and respects heritage considerations. It recognizes that best value for the Government includes a commitment to optimize both community value and financial value, which contributes to an enhancement of the quality of life in the communities in which CLC operates across Canada.
INSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONS, PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
CLC operates in two related business sectors in order to produce the optimal return on its work, to the benefit of all Canadians.
