Land Agreements with The City
The Lease/License of Occupation Policy for Community Organizations, alongside the land agreements were updated by Council in February 2012.
Leases and licenses of occupation (LOCs) are the legal expression of the relationship between community associations with The City. The policies informing Lease/LOC agreements are reviewed by The City every 15 years.
