CREB's PAC (Political Action Committee) Day includes delegates from the province and real estate stakeholders. The day allows for the opportunity for networking and discussing policy issues facing members of the Calgary Real Estate Board as well as consumers.

Here's some quotes from a collection of the day's featured speakers:

Residents in Cochrane who live in condos, apartments and townhouses will soon have access to home recycling.

Government report could change rules forcing disclosure of grow-op properties in Alberta

Alberta homebuyers could soon have more protection in place to ensure they don't buy former grow-ops without their knowledge.

neighbourhoods.

The City is looking for residents input on the future of Anderson Station.

The Office of Land Servicing and Housing (OLSH) will be at Southcentre Mall today from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. to share the latest information with Calgarians regarding transit oriented development at Anderson Station.

"Last year, we had hundreds of citizens participate in our public engagement process where they were asked to provide input into four concepts that showed different options for what the 20-acre site could look like in the future," said John Potts, manager, Land Servicing, OLSH.

Bill 13 to enhance protection for owners, improve condo communities

Improved disclosure and governance were among the amendments tabled after the Alberta Government introduced Bill 13: The Condominium Property Act.

Recreation properties offer a scenic and serene home away from home

The dip of a paddle in the lake, the sizzle of a steak on the barbecue, the haunting hoot of a Great-Horned Owl: welcome to recreational living.

In a recreation survey conducted by the Alberta government, the top three favourite leisure activity of respondents was walking, golf and camping. Luckily for Albertans, lake and recreation living
is within short drives of all major centres.
