CLA says patent grants give landowners many rights The preservation of individual property rights may exist in historical documents known as Crown Land Patent Grants. These Patent Grants, in reality a contract between the Crown and the landowner, give the landowner of today protection against any invasive bylaws or legislation pertaining to the land, those at the annual general meeting of the Carleton Landowners Association (CLA) were told on May 20. Elizabeth Marshall of the Collingwood area, secretary of the Ontario Landowners Association and a researcher with the Association’s Patent Committee, said at the meeting at the former Goulbourn municipal building at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville that a Crown Land Patent Grant gives today’s rural landowner control over his or her land and the legal authority to defy intrusive legislation such as that protecting wetlands or endangered species. She said that the Patent Grants set out the original conditions pertaining to the ownership of the land, with a 60 year period provided for the Crown to change or revoke the Patent Grant. This has never happened and so today’s landowner, as an heir or assign of the original landowner, has inherited these rights as set out in the Patent Grant. This is unreserved ownership of the land except, in some cases, for certain features that may be listed in a particular patent such as gold, copper, iron, silver, white pine and navigable water. She urged all rural landowners, even if they own only a part of the original land grant, to apply to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for a certified copy of the Crown Land Patent Grant pertaining to the property. This costs $50. All that is needed is knowing the lot, concession and original township where the property sits. Marshall contended that while provincial governments can pass legislation pertaining to public lands, they cannot pass any legislation related to privately held land because of these Patent Grants which clearly provide for land ownership with no strings attached, as it were. This was the most major revelation at the annual general meeting. But receiving much

The meeting also heard from several speakers that there is a need to develop the organization’s fundraising capability so that it has a “war chest” to take legal action against the government in situations where prop-
