Real Estate Council Warns Over Low Option Considerations
The Real Estate Council of British Columbia warns owners may suffer in option deals for property in a rising market. Tokens as low as $1 can bind owners to sell at the option price, often for six months, with buyers possibly profiting from later resale. Owners may lose value if options obstruct private sales and listings, and proper market value should be checked.

First Peace River resident registers with Open Learning Institute
Mrs Elizabeth Nordlund of Chetwynd becomes the Peace River district’s first registrant for British Columbia’s Open Learning Institute. The institute launches a pilot of three university courses and four secondary courses this September, with more offerings in January. Nordlund, a homemaker and substitute teacher, says her mobile RCMP husband’s transfers made traditional university study difficult. She has credits from University of Victoria and Malaspina College and aims for third and fourth year courses, currently registered in a 19th Century British Novel English course. She notes her children aged 11 and 2 1/2, and that family support will allow study. The Open Learning Institute, created by the BC Ministry of Education in June 1978, offers home study for BC residents unable to attend conventional schools. For information, write to Open Learning Institute, P.O. Box 94000, Richmond, BC, VOY 2A2, or call collect at 270-8021.
