economy and housing market in Edmonton for the last few months – and it is coming – just not soon enough for those who have been feeling the affects of the downtown over the last few years.

Indeed, in its Metropolitan Outlook: Spring 2017, the Conference Board of Canada confirms it. “The tide is finally turning for Calgary, Edmonton, Regina and Saskatoon, with all four metro areas emerging from recession this year,” the report says.

Te news gets even better.

“Following two years of recession, Calgary and Edmonton’s economies are on the road to recovery. Indeed, Edmonton’s economic growth will tie Vancouver’s for second place.”

Second only to Toronto’s economy, which is forecast to expand by 2.7 per cent in 2017.

Well done, Edmonton.

One of Edmonton’s best new communities

W

elcome to the vibrant community of Cy Becker! This flourishing Qualico Communities development is located in northeast Edmonton near key roadways and an array of first-rate amenities. Cy Becker’s popularity has steadily grown since its establishment, making it one of Edmonton’s most coveted north-side destinations.

The beautiful new community is aviation themed and named after a famous Alberta bush pilot and war hero.

Since opening to homeowners in 2014, Cy Becker has grown to welcome hundreds of happy residents, and the community is now in its seventh phase. Situated near convenient access to Hwy. 15 and Anthony Henday Drive, Cy Becker ensures residents will have quick and easy commutes throughout the city. Plus, the community is located just a few minutes away from the Clareview LRT station.

Cy Becker also features a 15-acre municipal reserve that includes two beautiful storm ponds, a scenic urban forest and a charming footbridge. Families with children are sure to love the All Seasons Park located within the neighbourhood, which showcases spray and water features during the hot summer months and a promenade that doubles as a skating rink in the winter. There’s also a sizeable playground built on a large rubber surface, along with a picnic area and toboggan

hill. The All Seasons Park is not the only park in the community; a smaller pocket playground offers even more outdoor activity options for residents to enjoy. Numerous commercial areas are found just moments away from the community, such as Manning Town Centre. This commercial district features a new movie theatre, national retail stores and plenty of restaurant options.

There is a wide variety of gorgeous home options throughout Cy Becker to choose from.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

How to avoid your own moving horror story

By Wayne Karl

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

WHEN BUYING A HOME, you will

likely consult with a team of trusted professionals — a mortgage broker, a lawyer, perhaps a realtor or builder sales associate and maybe a home inspector. Then, assuming you move ahead with your purchase, eventually you will likely need a mover.

People often don’t consider a mover as an important member of their team of professionals.

However, given the critical role they perform — taking possession, at least temporarily, of all your worldly goods and moving them without loss or damage — it’s a function not to be taken for granted. Not doing your due diligence and taking the time to select a reputable mover can invite untold problems.

Case in point: the following example, which admittedly doesn’t involve a new-condo move, but the experience is all too common. So is the lesson learned — unfortunately, the hard way.

I recently contracted a “professional” moving company to carry out a last minute move of five pieces of furniture on behalf of my son, a university student. For a variety of reasons, we decided to hire movers rather than rent a truck.

After calling several firms — including large, well-known companies and smaller, independent ones — I selected a local moving company, explaining that drop-off would be about 100 kilometres away.

We agreed on price ($350) and time 20 YPNEXTHOME.CA

(9 a.m.) — after I was very clear the move would involve an out-of-town destination. All details were confirmed in a “contract” exchanged via email.

The crew was on time for the move the next morning, but almost immediately began talking about a higher rate — $360. Not a huge difference, but it immediately raised my suspicions.

I’ll spare you all the gory details, but it’s important to share the lowlights of what happened next: » The company I originally contracted the job to the night before was inexplicably unavailable to actually do the move the next morning, and apparently passed it off to another firm. » My original contact, who was easily available on cell phone repeatedly the night before, suddenly was nowhere to be found. » Once the truck was loaded, the fee increased to $450. » Upon arrival at the destination, the movers said the fee was $500. “It’s taking longer than we thought, and the furniture is heavier.” » “Sure,” I said, “right after I call the police.”

With that, the sordid tale ended.

The job not complete, left for us to move the furniture indoors, now the

victims of one of the top 10 scams monitored by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

“I could write a thesis on this,” John Levi, president of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) told me.

CAM offers consumers the following tips on how to avoid being scammed by unscrupulous movers: » Find reputable movers through the CAM, BBB or provincial government consumer protection agencies » Ask three movers for estimates in writing » Get the terms and conditions in writing » Ensure your goods will be protected for loss or damage » Read customer reviews on movers’ websites and other forums “Consumers have recourse with their provincial government’s consumer affairs department and with the Better Business Bureau,” says Levi. “Both of these avenues are fraught with difficulties and often take many months to come to some form of resolution — satisfactory or otherwise. And often, the mover simply out-waits the consumer.

“It’s far simpler and more effective to engage a reputable mover in advance rather than trying to fix a bad situation after the fact.”

My example, though painful and infuriating, is minor compared to other common horror stories involving similarly unsuspecting clients.

Make sure you take the proper steps — and the time — to protect yourself.

Road tripping: 10 scenic places to visit in Alberta Den of Antiquity PO Box 1192, Redwater Just like Canadian Pickers, you can hit up the Den of Antiquity and shop antiques in hopes of a rare find. You’re also welcome to appreciate the 1910 single-room Amelia schoolhouse where the Den is situated, though the drive up the Victorian Trail is easily one of the best parts of this trip with aweinspiring history and natural vistas.

Stony Plain Farmers’ Market 4905 51 Ave., Stony Plain There’s nothing better than the farmer’s market on a Sunday morning. Stony Plain has more than 70 vendors on the upper and lower levels of the community centre. You can get fresh veggies and flowers, but you’ll keep coming back for the cheesecakes, pet accessories, books, leather-work and jewelry.

Jurassic Forest If you loved Jurassic Park, then there’s an entire forest of dinosaurs waiting for you north of Gibbons. It’s a great place to take the kids or youngat-heart dino-lovers. They’ve got dinosaur replicas sprawled throughout the forest, searching for food as you dodge their feet and teeth. The kids can even dig up bones and take a ride on the mighty Triceratops!

Devonian Botanic Garden 51227 Hwy. 60, Parkland County This huge botanical garden is part of the University of Alberta and features a Kurimoto Japanese Garden, extremely beautiful to stroll in as it unfolds before you. For botanists, this is a must-see place with a diverse and native plant collection.

And, for the average visitor, they have numerous events such as their Pyjama Party and Opera al Fresco that must be booked early.

22 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Barr Estate Winery If you’re open to trying unconventional wines made without grapes, you’ll want to check out Rick and Amy’s winery in Sherwood Park, located in the middle of their farm, amongst the sheep. You can take a tour of the estate for a small fee and learn how their raspberry and rhubarb wines have made a name for themselves.

Alberta Pioneer Railway Association 24215 34 St. NW, Edmonton A truly historic place, the Alberta Railway Museum is a non-profit completely run by volunteers whose aim is to preserve these vintage trains. They have more than 75 rail cars and locomotives from the Canadian National and Northern Alberta Railways. The museum itself is a tiny replica train terminal with a station and shops, where you can catch your train to the past.

Canadian Badlands Ltd. 181 Railway Ave. E., Drumheller The Badlands on its own is pretty fantastic for prehistoric geography and dinosaurs. But, there’s also the Royal Tyrrell Museum with dino

skeletons on display, or precision golf on the challenging course at the Dinosaur Trail Golf & Country Club. With so much history here, you might just be the next paleontologist to discover a prized fossil!

Edmonton Corn Maze With a new maze each year, you can’t opt out because you’ve “been there, done that.” The time to beat is 30 minutes if you’re a whiz at directions. If not, you’re free to wander about more than five kilometres of mazes. And, it includes the full farm experience, with barnyard animals, old-timey snacks and a spud gun to shoot old potatoes from a cannon.

Elk Island This is the perfect place to get back in touch with nature, with roaming bison and elk. Camp out under the stars or go canoing on Astotin Lake.

Canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are available for rental on site (on weekends and holidays). For day trippers in the winter, snowshoeing is a transcendental experience with elk wandering around as you explore the grounds.

THE HOME OFFICE How to make it work for you

By Jane Lockhart

MY OFFICE IS WHEREVER I happen to

be, in the car, at home or the design office – basically, wherever my phone is. But it’s hard to ignore how many in the work force are following the shifting trend to work part time or full time from home. There are many factors that can help make your home office a productive and beautiful place to work.

Today’s wireless technology in the house allows you to work from almost any room, but pick one and make it yours. I always recommend a 30 YPNEXTHOME.CA

home office be set up in a room with a door that closes and locks, rather than the dining room table or in an open concept loft or basement. For business calls and for concentration it’s best to have a door for privacy. If you need to share a space try to make it the guest room or a place that isn’t occupied during the day.

The size of the room isn’t as important as how functional it is.

Organization is key and the way to stay productive is with proper storage. Having the right place to

put everything can help contain clutter and keep your mind focused on what’s important. You’ll need organization systems for paper and cord/cable management to tame that tangle under your desk. Many office stores carry organizational solutions for computers and supporting tech, but custom built-in cabinetry is the way to go for storage. Every need can be addressed and interpreted into good-looking, yet practical storage. After all, if you’re going to spend eight hours in a space, why not make it functional and beautiful?

Your personal style can carry through from the rest of your home to your office or you can create a unique, personal space that makes you happy just to be in it.

Good lighting is one of the most important considerations. There’s no such thing as too much lighting, you can always turn something off.

If you can, invest in recessed ceiling lights for clear, ambient lighting and good desk lighting for task work. Hire a designer to put together a lighting plan for you if you’re not sure what you need. The second important factor to consider is your chair. Get the most supportive, comfortable seat in the house, because you will be in it a lot. That means no dining chairs!

An area carpet and drapery may seem like overkill in an office but both will help dampen sound. You’re still in a functioning household and sound travels both in and out of rooms, so remember fabric helps reduce the noise level.

If you’re bringing in an electrician to update your lighting, ask about having some of the room’s wall outlets raised to counter height so you don’t have to crawl under your desk to plug in your computer.

If you still work with a lot of paper (like me) you need space to spread stuff out. A computer is one thing

The second important factor to consider is your chair. Get the most supportive, comfortable seat in the house, because you will be in it a lot. That means no dining chairs!

– or maybe two things, you require for your job but a stretch of counter space can make life much easier.

Many home offices integrate counters with cabinetry to eliminate the standalone desk. Whatever works for you is the right solution. But my last piece of advice is the most important to remember. The best way to tame that paper pile is to tackle it and let it go, so get a high-quality paper shredder and don’t forget to use it!

Showhomes now open in Forest Ridge MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

Forest Ridge in WestPark is located only moments away from Edmonton and Sherwood Park, ensuring residents are only a quick commute away from big city amenities. The community boasts a beautiful picturesque setting that features natural greenspaces, lush parks and tranquil walking trails.

NESTLED WITHIN Fort Saskatchewan is the exciting Qualico community of

Forest Ridge. On May 6, the community celebrated the grand opening of its showhomes with a Forestopia themed event, which allowed visitors to explore the neighbourhood and experience all of its wonderful amenities.

Guests were treated to an afternoon that included tasty snacks and treats, plus some delightful live music from Dan The One Man Band! Much to their delight, the youngest visitors to the event were transformed into their favourite forest critters for the day with some fabulous face painting. And, adding to the day’s excitement was the opportunity to enter to win a $250 shopping spree at Cabela’s!

The highlight of the day was the chance to view the five gorgeous showhomes on display for the event. Home options available within Forest Ridge include stunning estate homes, single-family attached garage homes, as well as front attached garage duplexes. Three exceptional home builders bring this excellent assortment of expertly designed homes to the community – Homes by Santos, Pacesetter Homes and Victory Homes.

In the summertime…

By C. Marie Hebson

A

ahhh yes, summer! We’ve just had our first taste with a gorgeous May long weekend, and it’s time to think about our back yards, decks and porches.

A well-thought out exterior design will give you years of enjoyment.

1. Make your backyard a destination. Budget for your yard like you do your interior, include all the accessories that make it comfortable. Always plan on where your going to store your outdoor cushions too!

2. Be eco-conscious: Use less expensive pressure-treated lumber for structure. Incorporate environmentally-friendly materials like concrete.

3. Think outside the box. Run your fence boards horizontally for a contemporary feel, add whimsical statues, or hang outdoor artwork. Remember, less is more, bigger is better – don’t over crowd your yard with “small stuff”.

4. Invest in perennials and plant in rich, new soil rather than purchasing new plants every year. Chosen well, some grasses, bushes and trees can provide lovely texture and colour all-year round.

5. Buy the best outdoor furniture you can, consider it as an investment.

6. Bring on the Light. Lanterns, candles, floor lamps, chandeliers. Layer your light with solar powered step lights, path lights and the latest in illuminated furniture, shown here from Home Infatuation.

7. Have a space for storage – very important to store your furniture and cushions somewhere safe for the winter to be used over and over again.

50 YPNEXTHOME.CA

8. Bring on the heat! Overhead or tower heaters, fireplaces, fire pits, are all great ways to extend our time outdoors during the summer/fall season. Please be safe, check our city’s fire codes before you build your fire pit at: http://www.edmonton.ca/ for_residents/emergency_services/ fire-pits-safety.aspx 9. Freestanding BBQ or an entire kitchen.

If you love entertaining outside, you’ll definitely want to expand to a full outdoor kitchen. Definitely hire a professional

designer to help you with this very important investment in outdoor living.

10. Last but not least – ACCESSORIES! They can take your back yard from hum-drum to spectacular. Area rugs, pillows, drapes, sculptures, vases, dishes are all part of the final touches that make your outside space pure luxury.

Marie shops at various online and local stores, contact our design studio today to get a gorgeous outdoor look for your home.

Photos compiled are from websites that Marie shops at, various items chosen are befitting the mood and depict best choices for this article. Should you want information on any of these products, please contact interiorsBYDESIGNinc.

Gorgeous new bungalow homes plus parking for your RV WELCOME TO ARRIVE AT ALLARD – where your dream of living a

bungalow lifestyle comes complete with a double garage, and also a super garage that’s perfect for parking your recreational vehicles. If you’re an RV owner in search of a new place to call home, then add this Bedrock Homes development to your mustvisit list and you’ll be sure to find yourself an ideal home match.

Situated in Edmonton’s coveted southwest, Arrive at Allard brings together two sought-after lifestyle qualities by combining maintenancefree living with the convenience of a desirable bungalow home design. No need to worry about maintaining your landscaping or snow removal in the winter – a notable feature for those who plan on traveling throughout the year. New-home buyers have the option to choose from four home styles that range from 1,176 to 1,292 sq. ft. There is also an option to add a completed basement to the bungalow, which will add anther 800 sq. ft. of living space to the home!

These stunning homes feature superior quality finishings that add a luxurious tone within each bungalow.

Residents will enjoy beautiful quartz or granite countertops, with glass or marble tile backsplashes, in the kitchen and baths. The flooring throughout each home will feature striking engineered hardwood, 12-by24-in. tile, and areas with quality carpet for extra comfort. No detail is overlooked in the Arrive at Allard bungalows – even the stairs leading to the basement of each home are

given special attention with maple and metal railings.

Each expertly designed floorplan takes into account the best use of space that ensures enhanced efficiency within the homes. The bungalows feature two bedrooms and two baths, and offer airy 10ft. ceilings on the main floor, plus a charming backyard deck and landscaping all included in the price!

Prices for these homes start from $575,000 – which includes a twocar garage and the unique feature of an up to 50-ft. long super garage with 14-ft. high garage doors. This super garage is not just limited to RV use, but is also well suited for other outdoor recreational toys, such

as boats, ATVs or even that special vintage car. Car collectors even have the opportunity to store up to three extra cars in this space with the addition of a car lift!

More than a home, it’s your home base.

Arrive at Allard is a one-of-a-kind community designed for people who have a passion for the outdoors and the recreational vehicles that go along with it. Approximately 25% of households in Alberta own some type of recreational vehicle, and Bedrock Homes understands that this comes with specific needs.

Arrive duplexes were developed to address these specific needs and more. With 10’ ceilings and a centrally located double attached garage, these well -appointed duplexes make exceptional use of space and complement a low maintenance, on-the-go lifestyle.

But the really amazing feature of these homes is the attached SUPER garage. At 50’ long and 14’ high, with an automated garage venting system, RV storage is no longer a hassle – it’s a joy!
