They are regulated under provincial or territorial legislation, and specific legal details vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In most parts of Canada, they are referred to as condominiums, except in [[British Columbia]], where they are referred to as a ''strata'', and in [[Quebec]], where they are referred to as ''syndicates of co-ownership''.<ref name=cmhc>{{cite book |url = http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/odpub/pdf/63100.pdf |title = Condominium Buyers Guide |year = 2002 |isbn = 0-662-33517-1 |publisher = [[Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation]] |access-date = 2011-02-26 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130611223618/http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/odpub/pdf/63100.pdf |archive-date = 2013-06-11 |url-status = dead }}</ref> The townhouse complex of Brentwood Village in [[Edmonton]], [[Alberta]], was the first condominium development in Canada (registered in 1967).
