Legacy Giving

Canada’s Ecological Gifts Program provides a way for Canadians with ecologically sensitive land to protect nature and leave a legacy for future generations.

Made possible by the terms of the Income Tax Act of Canada, it offers significant tax benefits to landowners who donate ecologically significant land land or a partial interest in ecologically significant land to a qualified recipient.

Recipients ensure that the land’s biodiversity and environmental heritage are conserved in perpetuity.
