BCREA is proud to announce that on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, we were recognized with two Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO®) Awards. These honours highlight our commitment to excellence in communications systems and leadership in educational programs related to North America’s real estate sector.

BCREA was presented with the Education Award for Post Licensing / Continuing Education for the Standard Form Essentials: Indigenous Lands, Contracts, and Disclosures course; and the Communication Award in the Website category for BCREA’s REALTOR®-only website: BCREA Access. Both winners represent projects that were essential to BCREA’s commitment to providing timely, relevant, and impactful resources to BC’s eight real estate boards and associations and 26,000+ REALTORS®.

The ARELLO® Awards are presented annually to acknowledge outstanding systems, programs, and services that advance the real estate profession and promote public protection.

About the Winning Projects

Standard Form Essentials: Indigenous Lands, Contracts, and Disclosures course

Category: Education & Post Licensing / Continuing Education Course

With the Squamish First Nation’s Sen̓áḵw project, the largest Indigenous-led economic development in Canada’s history, the development of Indigenous lands for residential use is expected to rise, and REALTORS® need the knowledge and tools to navigate transactions involving Indigenous lands.

The Standard Form Essentials: Indigenous Lands, Contracts, and Disclosures course was developed to meet that need. This self-paced course provides REALTORS^® with foundational knowledge on Indigenous land governance and practical guidance on using standard contracts and disclosure forms applicable to these lands.

BCREA Access

Category: Communication - Website

In 2022, the Canadian Real Estate Association announced the retirement of REALTOR Link®, a resource platform designed to share firewalled content to the REALTOR® community. To address this change, BCREA evaluated the content deemed valuable by its membership and created BCREA Access, a website built to house firewalled content and provide REALTORS® with the information they need, when they need it.

BCREA’s daily work centres on providing resources and support to REALTORS® across British Columbia. With this primary goal in mind, BCREA Access has evolved into an intentionally targeted platform.

Today, BCREA Access offers REALTORS^® and managing brokers streamlined access to Professional Development, Standard Forms, compliance resources, and current sector updates. By improving design, navigation, and category management, BCREA Access is a one-stop hub for REALTORS^® and managing brokers to obtain the resources most valuable to them.
