Canada’s economy poised

for another year of solid growth in 2012: RBC Economics

anada’s economy grew at a moderate pace in the final quarter of 2011 and is

expected to pick up steam in the year ahead, according to the latest RBC Economic Outlook issued today by RBC Economics Research. Burgeoning signs of strength in the U.S. economy, low interest rates, solid balance sheets across corporate Canada and elevated commodity prices are setting the stage for continued economic expansion. RBC forecasts real GDP to increase by 2.6 per cent in both 2012 and 2013.

“Canada’s economic growth clocked in at 2.5 per cent in 2011, shaking off a few speed bumps in the middle of the year and ending the fourth quarter with only moderate real GDP growth of 1.8 per cent,” said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist, RBC. “The country’s main engines of economic activity from the early days of the recovery - consumer spending and residential investment are likely to play supplementary roles as the economy shifts into slightly higher gear on the road ahead.” High commodity prices and strong corporate balance sheets are expected to boost business investment’s overall contribution to economic growth by 0.8 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points this year and next. As the U.S. economy continues on a promising path, Canada will also benefit from improving demand for exports such as autos, machinery, and lumber. Exports account for 30 per cent of Canada’s GDP, and approximately three-quarters of them go to the U.S. RBC forecasts that real exports will return to the prerecession peak level in 2013, with net exports boosting growth to the tune of 1.0 percentage points in 2012 and 0.3 percentage points in 2013. Countering these areas of strength, Continued on Page 14

the anticipated tightening in fiscal policy will likely have a restraining effect on economic growth. “We expect that a continuation of accommodative monetary policy will offset the potential impact of the withdrawal of fiscal stimulus,” Wright commented. “As inflation will likely remain close to the Bank of Canada’s two per cent target, we expect that the overnight lending rate will stay at its current level until early 2013.” Despite disappointing labour data that has persisted for the past seven months, with an average increase in employment of just 2,000 per month, RBC expects greater strength in

hiring going forward. The unemployment rate is expected to fall to 6.9 per cent by the end of 2013. The pace of consumer spending eased to 2.2 per cent in 2011, down sharply from 2010’s rapid 3.3 per cent rise. RBC projects that consumer spending this year and next will grow at a rate comparable to 2011, with durable goods accounting for approximately 25 per cent of the increase, slightly higher than its historical share. Elevated debt levels, which stood at 150.6 per cent of personal disposable income in the fourth quarter of 2011, will weigh on consumer spending moving forward. “At this point, the low interest rate environment is keeping the cost of servicing debt manageable. We haven’t seen any significant increase in consumer bankruptcies or a surge in mortgage delinquencies,” explained Wright. “At the same time, household debt has been weighing on the minds of many and the willingness to take on debt has likely diminished. This reduces the likelihood of another debt-charged surge in spending on goods, services, or housing.” At the regional level, Western Canada is expected to top the growth rankings in 2012, with Saskatchewan and Alberta leading the way and Manitoba following closely behind. The economies of Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia and Ontario are expected to grow at rates close to the national average. Quebec continues to experience some challenges and, along with the remaining Atlantic provinces, is positioned to grow below the national average. While risk lingers on the global stage, stimulative monetary policy and renewed confidence are expected to carry the world economy in 2012. RBC forecasts that, with the euro zone in recession and the U.K. economy limping along, the leadership baton is being handed over to the U.S., where signs of a more robust year for broad-based growth are materializing. RBC expects the U.S. economy to expand by 2.5 per cent in 2012 and 3.0 per cent in 2013.

A complete copy of the RBC Economic and Financial Market Outlook is available. A separate publication, RBC Economics Provincial Outlook, assesses the provinces according to economic growth, employment growth, unemployment rates, retail sales, housing starts and consumer price indices. www.rbc.com

18% CAP RATE - NET NET $100,000 + P.A. All payments directly from the Ministry of Health Southwest Ontario

This home is for ex-psychiatric patients who are largely independent but need some assisted living. The home is licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Health and payment for residents is directly from the Ministry of Health. Current payment is 1,452.70 per month per resident. For a 9 bed home this is equivalent to $13,074.30 per month or $156,892 per year. Typically operating costs are about $40,000 per year for a net income of about $115,000 per year for an owner occupier. If the home is designated as your principal residence the income is absolutely tax free. No more licenses are being issued under this Act so the only way to obtain a license is to buy an existing home. 1312_DJW_0032

TO SELL, OR NOT TO SELL? THAT IS THE QUESTION? By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd. Brokerage www.investprorealty.com Hamilton

As a specialist in investment properties, I am often asked this question due to this hot Real Estate market where prices have reached new highs, and for me the answer is simple, yes, it is the best time to sell! However, there are some factors that will have to be taken into consideration. As an example there will be income tax implications and in some cases, capital depreciation that must be recaptured. Discuss these issues with your accountant to determine how the sale will affect you. There are many positives in selling at this time. ARE YOU CLOSE TO RETIREMENT? What a great time to sell! You could take back a mortgage from a qualified Buyer and receive a good rate of return on your money while you enjoy your leisure time. There are also income tax benefits to taking back a mortgage. Talk to your accountant. WHY NOT SELL YOUR SMALL PROPERTIES AND PURCHASE A LARGER PROPERTY? There are many investors ready and willing to invest in smaller properties. Take advantage of this high demand. Sell your small properties and expand your Real Estate portfolio by acquiring larger investments that are often easier and much less work to manage. HOT MARKET/HOT PRICE! The most significant reason to sell now is that, the selling prices are at their highest levels on record. Cap rates have fallen to all time lows translating to very little return on investment. As history has proven over and over, these prices will not last! It cannot continue at this pace and an adjustment may be on the horizon. Interest rates are expected to rise soon and this will be the start to possible declining values and lesser demand. Any small increase in interest rate will affect cash flow. POLITICAL CHANGES. The Ontario government could possibly cool the rental investment market by introducing new laws. Any negative changes to the Residential Tenancies Act or the Mortgage Act can dramatically affect investor confidence which may result in declining values. This is the time to sell! For free consultation or free market value assessment of your property, contact Dino Nicosia. Your investment partner for life.

7 tips for successful real estate investing Many people think being a landlord and investing in real estate is a way to make easy money. It can be financially rewarding if you do your homework and reduce your risks. But easy, it isn’t and it can lead to financial ruin if not done properly.

• Research the area where you’d like to buy. Is it in decline or on the way up? A good indication is if chains like Wal-Mart, Tim Hortons and Home Depot are moving in. These companies do a lot of work on demographics and income before deciding where to locate. You can get a big picture look at vacancy rates at settlement.org, a federally funded site that helps immigrants with information and resources to settle in Canada.

Hamilton

The trick is to end up with money in your pocket at the end of the month after paying your bills and collecting the rent as you slowly pay down the mortgage and end up with a nest egg. Here are some tips:

• Use a real estate agent who also is an area investor. Ask them to show you their properties and the rents. Ask for the names of other investors they have helped. Call them. Make sure they have a team of professionals you can use, such as property managers, insurance advisers, mortgage brokers, home inspectors, accountants and lawyers. • Once you own more than four rental units, find a reliable property manager. You don’t want to take a call in the middle of the night. A rule of thumb is that you should allocate up to 10 per cent of monthly rent to a property manager. They will make sure your building is properly maintained and can help find tenants. • Do not be in a hurry to rent a vacant unit. Take your time to qualify any potential tenant, since it can take months to evict a problem tenant. Call all tenant references, ask for a current pay stub and speak to at least two prior landlords. Where possible, require the tenant to pay for utilities. The tenant will have to apply to the utility company for an account, which amounts to an extra credit check being done by the utility company. • Be careful with basement apartments and homes rented to students. Although these units can provide additional income, you must make sure that they are legal, comply with the fire code and have any required licenses to operate. • Buy and hold your property for the long term. This way, you have an income and slowly start to pay down your mortgage. • If you are investing with others, have a partnership agreement. Problems may occur later if the friendship breaks down, especially if one partner loses their job and cannot pay their share of expenses, or if one partner wants to sell while the other does not. With a partnership agreement, you can provide what will happen in these situations in advance, without having to pay costly legal fees to figure it out later. Investing in real estate is not easy. But by taking the proper precautions, it can be very rewarding.

Co-authored by Mr. Wong and Sarah Kruger, the book presents first-hand accounts of multi-generational business owners and the challenges they face, including families undergoing the transition of their businesses for the first time. “Succession planning should be a priority for every business owner as it touches a variety of individuals, including business owners, employees, business, lenders, current family members and future generations,” said Mr. Wong. “Creating a succession plan can also help realize the maximum potential value of a business while mitigating risks associated with economic uncertainty or a sudden shift in management.” Mr. Wong added that it is easy to be intimidated by the succession planning process; it is sometimes difficult to know where to start as the planning process can be complex. He expressed the hope that his book would provide guidance and motivation to those that need it. “A BMO study revealed that 85 per cent of Canadian small business owners do not have a succession plan in place,” said Cathy Pin, vice president, Commercial Banking, BMO Bank of Montreal.“Given that these entrepreneurs account for almost 97 per cent of all employers in the country, this can have major implications for the Canadian economy. The good news is that financial advice and expertise is available, and a smooth transition is achievable when a well thought-out succession plan is developed and followed over a period of time.” Here is what people are saying about The transition experience: What every Canadian family business owner should know beyond succession planning: “Any business owner who desires to maximize the end value of his or her business and minimize the surprises, trials and tribulations inherent in the exit process should read this book.” – Martin Rochwerg, National Chair, Private Client Group, Miller Thomson LLP. “BMO’s use of real case studies makes the material relevant and relatable for those navigating the world of family enterprise.” – Judi Cunningham, executive director, Business Families Centre at the Sauder School of Business. “Transitioning your business can be complex, scary and full of emotion. This book shows a variety of situations and provides clear direction for action on a number of topics. Most of all, it really helps answer the question, ‘Where do I start?’” – Paul Higgins, Jr., Mother Parkers Tea and Coffee Inc. To order your free copy of The Transition Experience, please visit: http://www.bmo.com/succession/ About the Author James Wong joined BMO Harris Private Banking in June 2000 specifically to launch succession planning services. Since then, he has assisted many families with their business succession and has gained a valuable appreciation of the many challenges families face with businesses including preserving family values in a highly performance-driven business environment. In his work, he has developed several best practices that take into account the unique culture of Canadian family businesses. Many of these practices are shared the book he has co-authored The Transition Experience - What every Canadian family business owner should know beyond succession planning.

Protect yourself from

online and smartphone fraud

ith the increasing popularity of smartphones and social media sites, fraudsters are developing new ways to steal or trick consumers into revealing personal information through online channels. 10102019_1312

Central Ontario

INVEST IN COTTAGE COUNTRY

www.westandcentre.com

NEW PRICE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL MU4 zoning. High traffic corner location in Huntsville. 2 lots included, both MU4, buy together or separately. New price @ $545,000 for the combined purchase. Call for additional information. Bill or Sher. 3811_MARCP_1_0052

Justin Hwang, associate vice president, Fraud Management, TD Canada Trust, offers his top tips on how Canadians can protect themselves from these emerging scams: • Don’t give away too much on social media sites: Scammers use social media sites to search for personal details of their potential victims. They use this information to decipher passwords and answers to ﬁnancial institutions’ security questions. Too often people use easy passwords such as their mother’s maiden name, pet’s name or birthday and this information may be readily available online. • Watch out for malicious apps: Apps designed to steal your personal information do exist. Often these are disguised as games, funny videos or apps appearing to be from credible brands. Do your research; make sure anything you download is from a legitimate company or developer. For your security, TD Canada Trust has made its mobile app available for download directly on tdcanadatrust.com. • Protect yourself from ‘Wi-Fi bandits’: Many smartphones/ tablets/portable devices are set to automatically log on to wireless hot spots in public areas like hotel lobbies, cafés and airports. But if you’re on an unsecured network, fraudsters could try to hack into your laptop or cell phone to steal your online banking passwords, copy your contacts from email programs, or even download illegal ﬁles. Disable this feature on your device, and only join Wi-Fi networks that you trust. More information about fraud prevention is available online at http://www.td.com/privacyandsecurity/protect_yourself.jsp.

BMO Study:

- Canadian business owners split on effectiveness of social media to drive profits - Half of business owners say social media has the potential to increase their business profitability - Canadian business owners say on average 28 per cent of their marketing efforts are focused - online, while one-in-five lack social media savvy - Business owners ‘like’

Facebook first

alf of Canadian businesses believe

that social media has the potential to increase their

profitability, according to a BMO Bank of Montreal survey. However, while social media tools such as podcasts and social networking sites present significant, cost-effective opportunities for businesses to engage customers, only 29 per cent of Canadian small business owners are taking advantage. The survey, conducted by Leger Marketing, found that those who think social media can increase their profit, believe it can do so through: - Promoting their company’s brand or reputation (64 per cent) - Providing broader access to consumers (63 per cent) Niagara Peninsula

- Encouraging word of mouth endorsements and referrals (62 per cent) - Selling products or services (46 per cent) - Gathering ideas/suggestions (42 per cent) The top reasons business owners cited for not using social media are: - They don’t think it is a valuable tool (29 per cent) - They lack knowledge about social media (19 per cent)

LinkedIn second

Twitter third

“Social media, while still a relatively new communication and marketing channel, is definitely here to stay. We anticipate it playing an increasingly important role for Canadian businesses, as they look for cost effective ways to open new markets and broaden and deepen their connection with customers,” said Cathy Pin, vice president, Commercial Banking, BMO Bank of Montreal. “Our customers are also telling us they value opportunities to interact with other businesses, network online and share insights and experiences. That’s why we recently launched a new online community for business owners,” added Ms. Pin. The BMO SmartSteps for Business Online Community is a virtual hub with social media features and tools, including a blog, live Twitter feed, and hot topic polls, for small businesses to get engaged online. Business owners access over 100 podcasts that provide advice from top industry experts on topics including developing a business plan, managing cash flow, and the importance of social media. For those businesses that use social media tools, Facebook is the most popular choice at 70 per cent, followed by LinkedIn (32 per cent), and Twitter (31 per cent). Pritesh Gandhi, senior manager, Digital Marketing & Strategy, BMO Bank of Montreal, notes that social media tools have become more advanced over the past five years, and offer various benefits to business owners. “While the most popular application is Facebook, there are other networks and tools that can offer benefits to businesses. For instance, LinkedIn is very effective in building and maintaining contacts for recruitment and knowledge sharing purposes, while the effective use of Twitter can help to keep the dialogue open with your customers and respond to queries in real time.” Mr. Gandhi adds that “BMO has increased their social media presence over the past year by actively using Twitter for everything from customer feedback and service issues to generating awareness of the new product or service launches.” The challenge is that a social media presence takes time to build, and the impact on the bottom line is more difficult to measure than some more traditional forms of marketing. On average, Canadian business owners surveyed say that 28 per cent of their marketing efforts are focused online as opposed to traditional media channels. Those who believe social media can increase their profitability are also more likely to devote a higher percentage of their marketing efforts online on average, compared to those who do not believe it will help the bottom line (34 per cent vs. 22 per cent). About BMO Financial Group: Established in 1817 as Bank of Montreal, BMO Financial Group is a highly-diversified North American financial services organization. With total assets of $538 billion as of January 31, 2012, and more than 47,000 employees, BMO Financial Group provides a broad range of retail banking, wealth management and investment banking products and solutions.

Mortgages

PRIVATE LENDING…NOT ONLY FOR THE RICH Investment, this is a word that has become a central part of our everyday vocabulary. Almost everyone has some kind of investments. There are investments in stocks, retirement plans, insurance, commodities and of course real estate. It seems that almost everyone is interested in Real Estate investment. In the past this same kind of investing was called speculating, and was something, which was done only by the very rich. Until recently, it was thought that Real Estate investment was a risky business, only indulged in by those who could afford to lose money. Today’s thoughts about Real Estate investment has greatly changed. Real estate investment has proven to be one of the safest investments one can make, while yielding large returns. One of the best ways to make your investment money work for you is through mortgage lending. Instead of actually purchasing a property, you become the lender to someone who is unable to secure a full bank mortgage for various reasons. Many people who have become wealthy through real estate, started with mortgage lending. They were average people who with a calculated risk took a leap of confidence into Private Lending. They were soon to discover, as you will, Private Lending can be very financially rewarding. If you are thinking about becoming a private lender, there are a few things you should consider, before parting with your investment dollars. Private lending is much different from placing your money in an account with a guaranteed rate of interest. You will have to first find a trust worthy Mortgage Broker, who has a history of successful Private Mortgages. It is important to understand that not all Mortgage Brokers are the same, and some will be much more affective with Private Lending recommendations than others. You want to inquire about how many successful Private Mortgages they have arranged, and how many satisfied Private Lenders they have. It would not be out of line to ask for references; after all it is your money. So let’s say you have found an outstanding Mortgage Broker, who has satisfied all your questions with informative answers, are you now ready to hand them a cheque? Not yet. No matter how excited you are to begin collecting those big returns on your money, it is important to know exactly what kind of mortgages your Broker is planning to recommend you invest in. This is an Investor beware moment. Many Brokers have clients who are in dire circumstances and are at risk of losing their home. Often they are experiencing severe credit problems, are in arrears with their mortgage and taxes and need to consolidate their debts. Banks will not lend under these high risk circumstances. Although these mortgages are historically higher yielding, they are also extremely precarious and have a high rate of default. If you are the nerves of steel type, and don’t mind living on the edge, then this might be the kind of investment for you. However, if you like to lay your head on your pillow at night, and enjoy a restful sleep, not worrying about your money, I highly recommend that you steer wide and clear of this type of Private Lending. In years past Banks had a much different criteria for Mortgage Lending. Times have changed, and no longer do you go to your friendly Banker for a Mortgage. Lending rules have tightened and more often than not it is a faceless person on the other end of a telephone or the internet, who will be deciding if a mortgage will be granted to the applicant. It is because of the changes in the way the Banks gear their lending, people who have invested in income properties are finding it difficult to obtain the mortgages they need to purchase more properties. Enter you the Private Lender. Lending to this kind of client is generally a safer proposition, as the income property investor, usually has clean credit, a good income and other assets, that can be secured against the mortgage. This is the type of Private Lending that allows you to experience solid returns of 8-20 percent, while still granting you a degree of security.

One way to jump into Real Estate Investment is to use your Self-Directed RRSP’s. Many people who have invested in RRSP’s hoping this will become their retirement nest egg, have come to realize that the interest received is very low, and will not make much of a nest once they retire. A qualified and skilled Real Estate Investment Mortgage Broker, can make the process of using your Self-Directed RRSP rather simple, and can provide you with the complete details of your involvement. The Broker will also help you make an informed decision, of the type of lending that would suit your needs, and the methodology of implementation. They will help you check the potential Borrowers credit, have an appraisal of the property ordered, check on income and why the Borrowers are seeking funds. Most importantly the Real Estate Investment Mortgage Broker will help you decide if you should in fact lend funds to the Borrower in question. It should be noted; not all RRSP plan holders will allow you to Self-Direct your funds into Mortgages. You should check with you plan holders protocol on mortgage lending. This is something you should be looking into before you invest you money in any RRSP plan. Making your home’s equity work for you is another popular way to get involved in Real Estate Investment. By asking your Real Estate Investment Mortgage Broker to arrange to have your home equity made accessible to you, by re-financing your current mortgage, you will now have liquid funds ready for your investment. Interest rates are right now at an all time low. Why sit on money that could be earning you as much as 9-20 percent interest, which is a substantial profit considering the low interest of the Mortgage. This is an excellent opportunity, especially for seniors, who are living on a fixed income, to add additional monthly revenue giving you peace of mind. Earlier we spoke of feathering one’s nest for retirement, and the difficulty doing so on the interest currently being paid on low risk invested funds. If you were to re-finance your mortgage and take out 100 thousand dollars for investment, your monthly payment at 2.25 percent interest or a 25 year amortization would be $436.00. Now, if you were to lend the 100 thousand dollars, to a reliable Borrower at 14 percent interest on an interest only the monthly payment would be $1,167.00. You now have a tidy profit of $731.00, per month. You can pay down your own mortgage using the profits for the Borrowers interest payments. As an extra bonus, in the first year you will be paying down the principal of your mortgage a whopping $3,018.00 in the first year. At the end of one year your funds have typically come back to you, and you can re-invest. Now that’s truly making your home’s equity work for you. I have extolled on the positive benefits of Real Estate Investment, but what about the risk? With any kind of investment there are always risks and should be well researched before making an involvement decision. A major risk factor to consider would be if the Borrower were not to pay their mortgage obligation. The Private Lender is typically in second position. This is where your participation in your investment is important. It is advisable for you to ensure that the first mortgage is being paid and up-to-date, so you will have control over the sale process, which will help protect your investment. A good loan-to-value on the property is also something that should be considered, in the event of a mortgage default, as long as the first mortgage is up-to-date, you will be in a good position to charge back costs and any associated fees to the property sale. The best way to manage the risk of Real Estate investment is without fail always do your due diligence on the property and the borrower. Get a realistic valuation from a reputable appraiser or valuator. Real estate investing can be very rewarding, providing you follow the basic rules, use proper counsel, and do your due diligence. Become a wise investor, and do not let fear of the unknown cripple your vision of a great return.

What can a commercial landlord

do about tenant default? By Jayson Schwarz and Aaron Grinhaus

ou signed a five-year lease with a new tenant. His credit checked out and all is well – or was... Suddenly, it’s two years later and cheques begin to bounce. You try to speak to the tenant, but communication breaks down. You are owed money and your mortgage company wants its payment. What can you do? The decision is between distress and forfeiture. A distress is when you enter the premises, take control, change the locks and seize all of the tenant’s goods on the premises. A forfeiture occurs when you change the locks and terminate the lease. Remember, a lease is your blueprint on how to proceed and if you have a loose lease, you may have limited options. Whatever the lease does not cover, the Commercial Tenancies Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. L.7 will regulate. Before a landlord can distress the property, a few conditions apply. You must give the tenant notice in writing of the breach. The governing law states that notice is required, unless the lease says otherwise (remember that loose lease). Such notice must be given 15 days before changing the locks. Provided you have the authority by lease or statute, the way to go about this is to attend at the premises with a locksmith and your prepared Notice of Distress and change the locks. Remember, you must give the tenant access

14G COM

to the premises during normal working hours. Your lawyer can give you detailed advice on how to wend your way through this technical area, so no mistakes are made. Why distress? Subject to PST and HST, you have the right, if the tenant does not pay you current (quite often plus accelerated rent) within five days of the distress, to have the tenant’s goods sold to pay your rent and costs. A Landlord’s distress just about comes before everyone, including secured bank debt – except monies still owing on a conditional sales contract and a bankruptcy trustee if the tenant goes bankrupt before you have completed a sale. If you get all your money, the lease is back in good standing and the tenant’s obligations continue. In a forfeiture, you re-enter the property for the express purpose of terminating the lease, throwing the tenant out and moving forward to release immediately. Having a proper notice is critical. Once the landlord re-enters properly and is in accordance with the law and the lease, the property is secured for the benefit of the landlord alone and the tenant is denied access. The landlord and tenant relationship is ended. The tenant may remove his or her property and the landlord must try to stem his or her damages by re-renting to someone else. This is old law for the case of Highway Properties Ltd. vs. Kelly, Douglas & Co., [1971] S.C.R. 562 stated that once a landlord terminates a lease, it has a duty to mitigate damages by finding a new tenant so that it can offset the losses owed by the old tenant.

Re-envisioning Retail report highlights sustainable retailers’ success Re-envisioning Retail - published by RBC and the Retail Council of Canada. (CNW Group/RBC)

anadian retailers who adopt sustainable business practices are differentiating themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace and also significantly reducing their costs, according to a new report released today by RBC and Retail Council of Canada (RCC).

“Retailers profiled in this report demonstrate

that sustainable leadership doesn’t need to be a huge endeavour and that, by taking the first step, they can create real change,”said Andrea Bolger, head, Business Financial Services, RBC. “Making a commitment to sustainable business strategies has very tangible bottom line rewards and can help mitigate environmental risks.” The report, entitled Re-envisioning Retail, highlights the risks and opportunities associated with environmental sustainability. Retailers who have implemented sustainable business practices and have benefited from greater efficiency and productivity, improved employee retention and enhanced brand reputation are profiled in the report.

18G COM

Retail industry leaders’ sustainability initiatives profiled in Re-envisioning Retail include: Canadian Tire: Implemented hundreds of sustainability initiatives over the last two years, from lighting retrofits to efficiency improvements in product transport, saving the retailer approximately $6 million Home Depot Canada: Created a program that gives Canadian manufacturers the opportunity to pitch innovative, environmentally sustainable products. By supporting great ideas, the retailer hopes to help transform the market by ensuring that sustainable products are always on their store shelves. Sears Canada: Replaced more than 116,000 incandescent lights in all of its Sears Home and full-line stores across Canada, making it the first Canadian retailer to install an LED retrofit. This resulted in a 75 per cent annual reduction in energy consumption and two-year payback on investment. Unilever: Conducted lifecycle analysis (LCA) on more than 1,600 of its household products and found that 68 per cent of its green house gas (GHG) emissions occur from consumers’ use of their products. The retailer hopes to empower 200 million consumers to improve their own environment footprints and help reduce GHG emissions by 2015. Walmart Canada: Commissioned an assessment of its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and energy systems at over 200 stores, resulting in adjustment changes that created a 20 per cent increase in energy efficiency and will provide a payback on investment of less than three years. Whole Foods: Targeted April 2012 as the date when all ingredients will be listed on the packages of all household cleaning products that they sell, to enable their consumers to make greener, healthier choices. Household cleaners that do not meet minimum standards will be removed from store shelves. Copies of the Re-envisioning Retail report are available on the RBC Commercial Advice Centre at rbc.com/business-advice and on the Retail Council of Canada’s website at retailcouncil.org. RBC and the environment RBC has long been committed to environmental sustainability, and will maintain that commitment through the activities detailed in its Environmental Blueprint. The RBC Environmental Blueprint formalizes RBC’s longstanding commitment to environmental sustainability, outlining our policy, priorities and objectives, which include reducing the intensity of our environmental footprint, promoting responsible lending, and offering environmentally responsible products and services. In 2011, RBC was named one of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World, one of Canada’s Greenest Employers, one of Canada’s Top 50 Socially Responsible Corporations, and one of Canada’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens. RBC is also listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability World and North American Indices, the Jantzi Social Index, the FTSE4Good Index and the Canadian Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index.

“Successful retailers re-envision themselves constantly; they must change as quickly as the world does,” said Diane J. Brisebois, president and CEO of RCC. “Sustainability is now a necessity. This report illustrates the different ways retailers are evolving to do what is required and provides leadership to those who are looking for ways to improve their efforts.”

About the Retail Council of Canada (RCC)

“We want retailers to move beyond a ‘compliance’ mind-set to viewing environmental sustainability as an integral part of their business strategy,” added Bolger.“By greening their operations they have the opportunity to realize incredible business value.”

Retail Council of Canada, founded in 1963, is a not-for-profit, industry-funded association representing more than 45,000 store fronts of all retail formats across Canada, including department, specialty, discount, and independent stores, and online merchants. RCC’s mission is to be the Voice of Retail in Canada. We speak for an industry that touches the daily lives of Canadians in every corner of the country — by providing jobs, career opportunities, and by investing in the communities we serve. RCC members are actively involved in improving environmental sustainability in every region of the country. Continuing to provide products and services that consumers want in a sustainable way is a top priority for RCC and our members.

Small business optimism continues to show signs of improvement “Small businesses saw a little more sunshine in February,” remarked Ted Mallet, chief economist and vice-president for CFIB.“Better conditions in Ontario and the Maritimes, that were once held back by European and US economic worries, appear to be driving the gains in sentiment.” Businesses in Western Canada are generally the most optimistic with Alberta (72.3) and Saskatchewan (70.1) again at the top of the list. However, February also saw meaningful gains in optimism in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario. Unfortunately BC’s confidence fell last month and PEI and Newfoundland & Labrador are following the same direction. Optimism weakened in construction and manufacturing, but it was more than offset by big improvements in retail and hospitality, suggesting that consumers are in a positive frame of mind. Owners in the natural resources and the business services sector are the most upbeat. “For the first time on record agriculture makes it into the topthree, in a tie with financial services,” said Mallett.“Overall, there is a very little gap between the most- and the least-optimistic business owners, by sector, which is a welcome sign of general economic stability.” “New orders levels are a little slower in February, on account of weaker manufacturing and construction sentiment, however, these leading indicators, including overtime levels and accounts receivables, remain much higher compared to recessionary levels,” concluded Mallett.

ccording to the latest Business Barometer Index from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), small business confidence has risen to 66.0 in the last month – its sixth-consecutive monthly increase. The Index, however, still has a few points to make up before re-establishing the high levels seen this time last year.

20G

Measured on a scale between 0 and 100, an index level above 50 means owners expecting their businesses’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. According to past results, index levels normally range between 65 and 75 when the economy is growing. The February 2012 findings are based on 877 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Findings are statistically accurate to +/- 3.3 per cent 19 times in 20. For more information or to arrange an interview with Ted Mallett, contact Meghan Carrington or Gisele Lumsden at 416-222-8022 or email public. affairs@cfib.ca As Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses, CFIB is Powered by Entrepreneurs. Established in 1971, CFIB takes direction from more than 108,000 members in every sector nationwide, giving independent business a strong and influential voice at all levels of government and helping to grow the economy.
