Quality of Life: Welcome to the Neighbourhood
May 29th, 2010 | by admin |
“Welcome to the Neighbourhood” is a Quality of Life video produced in cooperation with the Ontario Real Estate Association, Canadian Real Estate Association and Fédération des chambres immobilières du Québec. Quality of Life is an approach that local real estate boards, associations and individual REALTORS® have adopted to demonstrate the commitment of the real estate profession to improve Quality of Life throughout the province of Ontario.
Conceptually, the video reflects the core principles and approach behind Quality of Life in a way that is highly creative, thought provoking and with a warm touch of humour. The approach is summarized in five principles:
1.Protecting economic vitality
One key to Quality of Life is a strong economy. A vibrant economy creates jobs, expands the taxbase and revitalizes communities.
2.Providing housing opportunities
We all want a safe, decent and affordable range of housing near where we work, shop and play. We must grow the supply of housing including choices about design, cost and location.
3.Preserving our environment
REALTORS® recognize one of the most important elements of Quality of Life is the environment: clean air and water, parks and open space.
4.Protecting property owners
A strong economy depends on preserving the investment people have made in their homes by protecting the ability to freely own, use, buy and sell real property.
5.Building better communities
Better communities come when governments work together to fund infrastructures such as roads, water, schools and transit that are the framework for a communitys Quality of Life.
