Alberta Real Estate Association panel this morning featuring CFHC Alberta Kirsten Goa | she/her 🌈 Amiskwaciwâskahikan, BILD Alberta, David Cumming, Anand Sharma

Q: Why are age restrictions suddenly an issue? Court challenge in Jan 2017, need for more & diverse hsg options across demographic groups.

Pros & cons: CCI says condo owners' right to choose their community being taken away. Issue on panel: Do human rights apply to condos?

If similar restrictions were applied to other demographic groups, there would be issues, says David Cumming at McLeod's Law

.BILD Alberta supports age restrictions in condos and housing in general. #AREA Conference.

Alberta has been an outlier on 18+ buildings for a long time, says Kirsten Goa | she/her 🌈 Amiskwaciwâskahikan. This is what needed to be addressed.

.BILD Alberta says ppl still want an affordable single family house. Affordability and choice must be enabled, not restricted.

Court challenges in future? Potential lack of clarity re: age restrictions for homeowner' associations, says David Cumming at McLeod Law

As of January 1, 2018, landlords can no longer discriminate on the basis of age in Alberta. Changes to the Alberta Human Rights Act are now in force: cfhca.ca/2018/01/15/cha… #yeginfill #childfriendly #yeg
