MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION
Of all the rights Canadians enjoy, few are more precious than the right to freely
own, use, transfer or bequeath real property, so long as the rights of others are not
infringed upon.
An too often, the rights that come with home ownership are taken for granted Yet
they are part of the Canadian heritage, rights that have been hard-won and must
be preserved for generations yet to come. Collective efforts to achieve this goal
have the potential to enhance the well-being of our community.
Real estate practitioners in SEAFORTH, as members of the HURON RFAI
ESTATE BOARD, and the Canadian Real Estate Association are setting aside a
week to remind Canadians of their property rights legacy and to encourage their
participation in the responsible preservation of the basic freedom to own private
property.
Therefore, I, ALFRED ROSS, Mayor of SEAFORTH, do hereby proclaim S
October to 13 October 1986 to be Private Property Week. I ask all residents of
SF Al ORTH to join with the HURON REAL ESTATE BOARD and its members in
marking this period to reflect that we are free people endowed with the right to own
real property - a right not enjoyed in many other countries - and that we are given
the responsibility to protect that right.
