Mandatory wellness program stirs up a hornet’s nest among Ontario realtors
A move to enroll every Ontario realtor into a mandatory life insurance and benefits program has reached a boiling point of blowback with angry confrontations and threats to dissolve organized real estate in the province.
On June 20, the governing assembly of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) agreed to create the Ontario Realtors Wellness Program (ORWP), which will enroll all 96,000 members into an insurance and benefits scheme that would add about $660 dollars to their annual membership dues (which are currently about $75).
