Many local organizations of landowners have formed in rural Ontario in the past decade. The primary motivation of members of these organizations has been to find ways to reverse the erosion of the private property rights of the owners. Members of these organizations have been concerned with what they have perceived to be troubling incidences of uncompensated regulatory takings. While these organizations are generally united around a goal of protecting private property rights in land, sometimes referred to as land rights, there have been differences of opinion as to the best strategy to achieve this goal. The Ontario Landowners Association has focused on Crown Land Patents as a means of protecting private land rights. The purpose of this report is to provide an introduction to Crown Land Patents of private property owners situate within, the geographical boundaries of, Ontario. This introduction examines the historical, ethical and economic aspects of Crown Land Patents.
