KMCLT Community Exhibit
KMCLT is excited to be sponsoring an exhibit of a KMCLT member and Research committee volunteer Molly Lalonde. Molly recently completed a Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) at the University of Toronto, analyzing the built form of Kensington Market, its intersections with activism and non-conforming uses. Her work shows in fine detail how successive generations of Kensingtoners have, by breaking planning rules, created this neighbourhood’s unique people-friendly form.
Molly’s analysis and art work will be on display at Pamenar Cafe (307 Augusta Avenue) until September 22.

Land AcknowledgementWe, as members of the Kensington Market Community Land Trust, are aware that we are a settler organization. Kensington Market sits in the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit (an Anishnaabe people), the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat and Petun Nations, land which is now home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis.
This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon wampum belt covenant, an agreement by the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee to share resources equally and peaceably. It is also covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. As a settler organization concerned with land ownership, we acknowledge that we have broken the treaties. Our work for the well-being of this land must include accountability to our relatives.
