Beginning in October, the label ‘master bedrooms’ will become ‘primary bedrooms’ on REALTOR.ca.
Master bedroom is being replaced by Primary Bedroom
The decision was made to eliminate terminology that has a connection to slavery. Feedback from Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) Members, Regional Boards and by
the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO), prompted this change.
“Concerns about derogatory connotations have caused some groups to push to change the ‘master’ term.” says RESO CEO Sam DeBord. “While use of this terminology by REALTORS® has been reviewed and cleared of discriminatory violations… consumer and professional concerns have remained, prompting some to use alternatives.”

Honourable Nate Glubish, Minister of Service Alberta, introduced Bill 15; the Real Estate Amendment Act 2019, in the Alberta Legislature.
These amendments give the Minister the power to:
• Dismiss the current council members.
• Allow the Minister of Service Alberta to appoint an official administrator to manage RECA’s affairs and continue its functions, such as hearing and appeals processes.
• Enable the transition to a new council.
This means that Albertas Real Estate Regulatory body will receive a complete overhaul as the Government has announced it intends to fire the entire Real Estate Council of Alberta amid allegations of misconduct dating back to 2016. See the Edmonton Journal article here
All RECA Council Members are Fired.
Alberta’s real estate regulatory body will receive a complete overhaul, as the government has announced it intends to fire the entire Real Estate Council of Alberta amid allegations of misconduct that date back to 2016.
Service Alberta Minister Nate Glubish is ordering the dismissal of all council members on the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA), which oversees the issuing of real estate licenses and consumer complaints, through amendments to the province’s Real Estate Act. Glubish proposed these amendments in the house with Bill 15 on Wednesday afternoon.
Along with firing all eight of the current RECA council members, the amendments will give Glubish the power to appoint a single administrator to carry out RECA’s mandate for a year, subject to renewal, until a new council is formed. It is not clear what the selection criteria will be for the administrator.
Independent Review
The dismissal follows an independent review conducted by accounting firm KPMG that began in January under the previous Alberta NDP government. The review was launched after several complaints from consumers about the council’s inability to govern itself effectively. Issues raised include the council’s inability to form a finance and audit committee. A performance review was also not conducted for RECA’s executive director in 2018.
RECA’S response?
We welcome the amendments and look forward to working with the Minister and the Administrator to ensure compliance. Consumer protection is at the core of our mandate. RECA will continue to operate under that mandate moving forward. Core operations at RECA are not affected by these amendments.”

🐾🐾 #shoutout to @streetsideyeg by @qualicoyeg for their excellent work at #aloftskyview 💖💕💓💖💘 🐈🏡 #PurrfectProperties 🏡🐈 #yeg
With gratitude and thanks for a beautiful property with quality workmanship. Judy was a tough client to find a #home for and the great folks over there did everything they could to make this Judy and Lewis’s new home.
You see Judy has a #bigdog and those big dogs 🐕🐶 just aren’t allowed at many #condos so we were looking for a #builder that understood the meaning of #furbabies and these folks stepped up to the plate.
What a swing they took. They know that it’s usually bad owners, not bad dogs. They were kind and didn’t refuse this 8 year old #labrador.
What really needed to happen happened. Lewis, was trained as a #searchandrescue dog but so many properties had no room at the inn for him. Trained to help us all and these folks have helped Judy, Lewis and myself just #love their shopping experience.
They made a #unique request possible and are so #cool in that they offer #homebuyers a 15 month workmanship warranty instead of 12. (What does that say about their quality and willingness to please their clients?)
