Are Indigenous Land Claims A Risk For Real Estate Investors?
About this Episode
Canadian real estate investors face new uncertainty due to Aboriginal title claims, particularly following the August 2025 Cowichan case in Richmond, BC. This landmark ruling recognized Indigenous title over 300 hectares of land that included existing private fee-simple properties – the first time in Canadian history this has occurred. The decision has triggered financing issues, cancelled deals, and government intervention, with BC Premier Eby announcing $150 million in loan guarantees. While no one has been evicted, the ruling challenges the traditional concept of "indefeasible" title and creates uncertainty for property owners, lenders, and investors across Canada.
Plus in the second half of the show we are joined by an expert Bruce Pardy to get his perspective on the subject.
