Members of the media who wish to attend a Hearing are required to register in advance by emailing communications@reca.ca.
The hearing schedule below is subject to change on short notice. It is incumbent on Hearing attendees to determine if a Hearing is proceeding as indicated.
Hearings begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Real Estate Council of Alberta office (Suite 202, 1506 11 Ave SW, Calgary) unless otherwise stated. For more information contact RECA Hearings and General Counsel Administrator Carolyn Thompson at cthompson@reca.ca.
