Vision
Be the Government of Canada’s principal real property agency responsible for reintegrating surplus properties while being dedicated to developing great Canadian communities and acting as a premier owner and manager of select uniquely Canadian attractions.
Canada Lands' values are the foundation of the Company's work in communities: Financial Resilience, Environmental Sustainability and Social Impact.
The Company's strategic priorities flow from and amplify Canada Lands' values:
Real Estate: Transform surplus and underutilized federal properties
- accelerate housing (i.e. the development and offering of lands for housing) and support affordable housing,
- seek to engage actively with the Government of Canada to streamline and accelerate the process and scope of acquisitions, and
- raise the bar in environmental, social, and other Canadian community and global objectives, and
- seek to include greater employment generators with its work and within its communities.
Attractions: Create unique Canadian experiences
- with its capacity, know-how, and experience, the Company is well-positioned to develop more deeply the Canadian experience at its attractions: iconic, unique, inspiring, and quintessentially Canadian, and
- appropriately promote itself as an option for other current and potential attractions.
Be a workplace of choice
- seek to address equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and environmental sensitivity through its social impact policies and practices, and
- embrace and embed a social, environmental, and financial responsibility culture as key elements of its business practices.
