Real Estate Association sponsors Property Week Is your home your castle? Maybe not, says the Ontario Real Estate Association ( OREA ). Concerned with an overabundance of government legislation which results in a serious threat to property rights, the 29,000 - member association is sponsoring its fourth annual Private Property Week, September 30 to October 8. The Association's concern with property rights goes back to its founding in 1922, says OREA 's 1984 President Terry Stafford. "We started with the premise that property ownership was a basic right—a traditional right," he said, "and we have constantly fought for the protection and preservation of those rights over the last 60 years." This year the Association produced a TV documentary Lost Ground, which is hosted by broadcaster Brian Costello and details some case histories of individuals whose property rights were infringed by government action. OREA also produced a legal study showing that more than 700 Ontario statutes or parts of statutes restrict property rights in Ontario. The study was done by law professors at the University of Western Ontario in London. Concern about property rights in Canada has taken a new turn because of renewed efforts to entrench property rights in the charter of Rights and Freedoms this year. The governments of British Columbia and New Brunswick hapa� already passed resolutions calling fo entrenchment and the Ontario governmer't has also nromised passage of a similar resolution. In Ottawa, political wrangling stymied efforts to get such a resolution through the House of Commons. Private Property Week is designed to educate the general public about those basic rights, Stafford said. Local real estate boards across the province are planning a variety of activities to share further information about property rights. Included are such programs as board open houses, seminars, and heritage celebrations. Numerous boards are sponsoring information displays in many public access locations such as libraries and shopping malls. Private Property Week, operating under the theme "Your Home is Your Castle - Let's Keep it That Way", is designed to remind Canadians and particularly Ontarians of that heritage. It is therefore particularly appropriate, Stafford said, that the fourth annual Private Property Week occurs during Ontario's Bicentennial year. In all, the Ontario Real Estate Assc,, iation represents more than 80 percent of all licensed real estate brokers and sales people in Ontario and more than 50 percent of all licensed individuals in Canada.
