Any non- Canadian who contravenes the Act, or any person who knowingly assists in contravening the Act is liable to a fine of up to $10,000 and may be ordered that the property be sold, therefore it is highly recommended that any potential purchasers obtain independent legal advice to ensure they will not be in contravention of the Act.

The municipality accepts no responsibility whatsoever in ensuring that any potential purchasers comply with the Act.
