SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Boardwalk Equities 
Inc. To Withdraw Its Common Stock, No Par Value, From Listing and 
Registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. File No. 1-15162

January 27, 2004.
    Boardwalk Equities Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation 
(``Issuer''), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its Common Stock, no par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'' or ``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of NYSE by complying with all applicable laws in effect in 
the Province of Alberta, in which it is incorporated, and with the 
NYSE's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security 
from listing and registration. The Issuer's application relates solely 
to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the NYSE and from 
registration under section 12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not affect 
its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved a 
resolution on January 8, 2004 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from 
listing on the NYSE. The Issuer states that the primary reason for the 
Board's decision to withdraw its Security from the NYSE is the 
increased regulatory burden and expense to the Issuer if the Security 
were to remain listed on the NYSE. The Board recognized that the 
holders of the Security would continue to enjoy liquidity in their 
investment since the Security is, and will continue to be, listed on 
the Toronto Stock Exchange.
    Any interested person may, on or before February 18, 2004, submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the NYSE and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. All comment letters should refer to 
File No. 1-15162. The Commission, based on the information submitted to 
it, will issue an order granting the application after the date 
mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on 
the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
