KMCLT MISSION STATEMENT:
The Kensington Market Community Land Trust is incorporated to acquire and provide for the management of land, in perpetuity, in the area bounded by the west side of Spadina Avenue, the south side of College Street, the east side of Bathurst Street, and the north side of Dundas Street, (Toronto’s Kensington Market).

- maintenance of the historical built form and eclectic mixed-use nature that characterizes the neighbourhood
- the continued presence of different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds in the residents and businesses populating the area
