Prince Edward Island proposes new 400-acre limit for non-profit land holdings
What happened
The provincial government of Prince Edward Island has put forward a proposed amendment to the Lands Protection Act. This amendment would establish a new land holding limit of 400 acres for non-profit corporations. The change would require qualifying non-profit groups to begin selling land above this limit, which currently stands at 3,000 acres for corporations.

Why it matters
The proposed regulation targets non-profit corporations that pursue charitable, religious, or philanthropic objects. This legislative action could force organizations, such as the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society, to divest land holdings to comply with the new limits.
