Home Ownership and Public Policy
For the most part, governments in Canada have pursued polices encouraging home ownership. The rate of home ownership
increased from 60.3% in 1971 to 69.0% in 2011. In the past five years, many urban areas, particularly the Lower Mainland
of BC, the Golden Horseshoe around Toronto, as well as Victoria have experienced a marked appreciation in real estate
values.
