HyLand was formed in 2012 to manage the donation of a large portfolio of rental and development properties across BC to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).

The intent of the donor was to provide the basic necessities of those in greatest need around the world – and he believed that MCC had the right experience and track record to implement this vision.

HyLand functions like an endowment in preserving and growing the capital base and annually donating revenue back to MCC to fund its international relief and development programs. Part of HyLand’s mandate is to facilitate similar legacy donations for those who would like to devote a portion of their wealth to help create a better world. The endowment principle ensures that these donations can continue to have an impact in perpetuity.

HyLand functions as a sophisticated real estate investor and is actively involved in land development, property management and ground‑up construction. We are an ideal partner for individuals and organizations that have shared values and a desire to create projects that benefit the local community and the broader world.

MCC BC wholly owns HyLand and is the shareholder of the HyLand group of companies. MCC BC appoints the directors of the HyLand Board and related subsidiaries as needed. The HyLand Board is the oversight body of HyLand, and as such, it approves the goals, plans, policies and long‑term direction of HyLand within the general parameters set by MCC BC as the shareholder.
