Council Resolutions were formal decisions made by Council, as it existed from 1996 to 2019, to amend the Real Estate Act Rules or Bylaws.
As of December 1, 2020, RECA is governed by a Board of Directors and four Industry Councils. The Board of Directors now has the power to amend Bylaws, and Industry Councils have the power to amend the sections of the Real Estate Act Rules that pertain to their industry sector.
Changes to the Real Estate Act or the Real Estate Act Regulations must be made by the Government of Alberta.
