And it is a right that the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) would like to see preserved and entrenched in the country's constitution. Man has always considered his home his castle and Canadians, undoubtedly, have always considered owning property a right. However, the Association contends that property rights are under attack at all levels of society and that provincial laws, lack of protection in the constitution and municipal planning have .combined to erode property rights. In an effort to 'raise the profile and encourage awareness of property rights, the, OREA has sponsored Private Property Week each year in October. The fifth Private Property Week extends through to Thanksgiving Monday. , The OREA is an organization which represents more than 30,000 real estate professionals in 48 Local real estate boards. I..,cally, the Huron Real Estate Board and its membership kicked off Private Property Week with a breakfast meeting in (;oderich Monday. Local dignitaries, real estate professionals, businessmen and area political representatives, Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff and Jack Riddell, Minister of Agriculture, helped the local board launch the week. The Huron Board is part of Region 2 of the ()REA and regional vice-president, Moira Knox addressed the meeting lutlining the significance of addressing the issue of property rights. Property rights impact on everyon. over 63 per cent of the people in Ontario r wn their own property,” she said. • • I'rivate Property Week is a celebration of iwnership and tradition." The Ontario Association has been a driving force behind the campaign to raise FEATURE REPORT awareness 01 property rights but Knox said it has nagging concerns. "We are concerned that there has been an increase in restrictive laws affecting ownership and the erosion of property rights is a major concern," she said. "Our second concern is that the Canadian Constitution does not recognize property rights. Since 1980, the association has lobbied for property rights." A celebration of freedom, heritage, and pride of ownership, Private Property Week is also designed to bring matters of ownership to public attention. She said that over 700 laws affect Ontario property owners. Lauding the efforts of the real estate profession and the employment it provides to Canadians, Huron -Bruce MP Murray -Cardiff said that property rights must be supported. "We must support property rights," he said. "And if we don't talk about it, nothing happens." He suggested that the matter of property rights would be given further attention in the House of Commons in future. Ontario's new minister of agriculture, Jack Riddell, told the meeting that a property rights resolution was introduced in the Legislature by Herb Epp, Waterloo M PP, and supported by all parties. He said only the province of Quebec is holding up an all -province agreement on the matter. With an election in Quebec imminent, he suggested there would be action on the matter. This year, R,rivate Property Week in Ontario salutes Canada's heritage.
