Established in 2022, Upper Hammonds Plains Community Land Trust (UHPCLT) commits to preserving historical lands, promoting affordable housing, and upholding African Nova Scotian heritage through collective stewardship and community-led development. The Upper Hammonds Plains Community Land Trust (UHPCLT) in Eastern Canada aims to establish affordable housing for the historically African Nova Scotia

n community. Through documenting the CLT implementation process and acquiring land parcels, UHPCLT seeks to provide safe, sustainable, and affordable housing while inspiring other communities to take control of land for economic prosperity and community empowerment. The project emphasizes financial and physical accessibility, collaboration with professionals and stakeholders, and fostering community involvement in land management and development.

What was cleared ground not long ago is quickly becoming a community. In a remarkably short time, our site has gone from foundations, to framed buildings, to cladded townhomes, and this drone footage captures what progress looks like today.

How are we moving this fast? We've adapted and implemented modern methods of construction. Building smarter lets us deliver quality homes more quickly, and that's exactly how we're scaling our development to create more housing for our community, sooner.

And we're not doing it alone. We're proud to be building in partnership with Atlas Structural Systems and our builder, HarbourTown Group. Together we're showing what's possible when community vision meets modern building.

Follow along as we keep growing. The best is yet to come!

UPPER HAMMONDS PLAINS COMMUNITY CLEAN UP DAY
Protecting our community starts with taking care of the land around us. Keeping roadsides, trails, green spaces, and wooded areas free of garbage not only makes Upper Hammonds Plains look better — it also helps reduce wildfire risk and protects the environment we all share.
Discarded waste, illegal dumping, and debris can contribute to fire hazards, damage ecosystems, and impact the safety of our community. By coming together for this clean up day, we’re taking an important step toward building a cleaner, safer, and more wildfire-resilient Upper Hammonds Plains.
This is about community pride, environmental stewardship, and working together to protect the place we call home. Every volunteer and every bag of garbage collected makes a real difference.
📅 June 20, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Meet at the UHP Community Centre – 711 Pockwock Road
🏆 The winner of the Wildfire Resiliency Workshop draw for the EGO 16” Cordless Chainsaw will also be announced during the clean up day!
Come out, lend a hand, and help us keep Upper Hammonds Plains clean, safe, and resilient.
