EDITORS’ NOTES

s you know, one of the biggest considerations you’re faced with when it comes to choosing a rental is your choice of location.

Unlike furniture, paint and decor, it’s the one thing that you cannot change, so it’s important to choose well. What are the critical things to consider when choosing a location? There are so many personal variables it’s really up to you to decide. As an example, if it is just as important to you to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a place that offers you the best of both worlds. If you own a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a wellconnected mass transit location may be a better option for you. If you’re a walker, close proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration. Doing errands such as grocery shopping and banking on foot has many health benefits and gives you a chance to meet your neighbours and discover new places too. Don’t let the cost of rent solely dictate your choice of location. Make a list of your priorities first, and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weigh your options.

ow do you know when you’ve found the right apartment? Apartment hunting isn’t easy. The right location, the right amount of space and the right budget are very important factors. But you need to go beyond the basics. The apartment has to feel right. Whether it’s the layout, the lighting or the quaint detailing from the building’s era, know what you want in terms of style. Sometimes a key point is a specific exposure. A green thumb might want their balcony to get as much sunlight as possible, while someone who works the night shift might prefer a western exposure to avoid morning light. For some, the amenities are extremely important. Why not find a place that has fitness facilities, a pool or a party room if you know that those amenities are a great part of your lifestyle. Closet space, kitchen counter prep area and distance from couch to TV for people who love their big screens are important. There are just too many factors to consider, so write them all down. Fill your list out as much as possible. You’ll need to prioritize your wishlist, and you may or may not find that place that hits each and every item, but if you go looking with a very clear picture of what you want, chances are you’ll find what you’re looking for! Visit lots of apartments and pull out your list to see how each measures up. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, homeTRADER.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

North York The downtown of uptown

by Jane Herman

nce upon a time, Yonge St. north of the 401 was a two-lane road in the country, flanked by block after block of lowrise commercial and residential buildings. Today, North York has evolved into a city that resembles a smaller version of Toronto’s downtown. The area of North York centring around Yonge and Sheppard encompasses the communities of Lansing and Willowdale. Here, you’ll enjoy many of the benefits that living in a city offers – such as access to government services, cultural amenities, work opportunities and transportation networks, without the same congestion and density of downtown.

Having Fun

SHopping

Yonge and Sheppard offers much to enjoy in the way of recreation and entertainment. The Toronto Centre for the Arts is a major entertainment venue offering an exciting lineup of shows and events. The Douglas Snow Aquatic Centre, situated just to the north of the North York Civic Centre at 5100 Yonge St. is a multi-purpose community centre featuring a large public pool with a fabulous waterslide. During the winter, you can skate on the frozen reflecting pool in front of Mel Lastman Square. The adjacent North York Central Library is the largest full-service Toronto Public Library building, second to the Metro Reference Library in square footage. The Sheppard Grande Theatres are located just to the south at Yonge and Sheppard, and the Empire Theatres in Empress Walk. There are a multitude of restaurants serving foods of all ethnicities from Thai to Japanese, Italian, Greek and French, lining Yonge St. throughout the neighbourhood.

The two major shopping malls in the area, the Sheppard Centre and Empress Walk, have underground access to the TTC, while the Sheppard subway line has spurred additional development along Sheppard Ave. E. Empress Walk is built around a large multi-storey cathedral-like hall and features a grocery, a business centre, liquor store and many additional businesses and professional services. The Sheppard Centre Mall at Yonge and Sheppard has more than 75 stores, shops, services and eateries, including popular chains, brand names and all the major banks.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the proximity to the Don Valley Golf Course, just south of the 401 on Yonge St., and Earl Bales Park at Bathurst and Sheppard with its many kilometers of scenic trails and downhill skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Thereâ€™s even a public lawn bowling court on Beecroft Rd., directly behind the Civic Centre complex.

Living in tHe area

a little further away:

At Yonge and Sheppard there are numerous lifestyle options for singles, couples and families of all sizes. Choose from luxurious highrises with spectacular views, condo-style amenities, fitness facilities, games and party rooms. There is a group of highrise buildings with direct access into the subway, so you can do your shopping, meet friends for lunch, and avoid any inclement weather.You can opt for a spacious lowrise in a park-like setting. The area is ideal for urban living, providing access to the highway and the ease of traveling across the GTA, but will appreciate the new construction and the reduced congestion and access to numerous suburban amenities.

12 things to pack last It’s time to pack up for your big move! Here’s a helpful list of 12 items to pack last and keep handy

Box cutter – Don’t pack this item at all! It’s the first thing you’ll need to open up all those boxes.

Alarm clock – You don’t want to be out the door late on the first morning at your new place, right? And you may want to keep a radio, CD or MP3 player handy so you can enjoy some music while you work.

Light bulbs and a small lamp (perhaps a flashlight too) – It may be dark when you finally move in.

Cleaning supplies – You’ll want to give your new home a once-over. You’ll also want to make sure you have toilet paper, toiletries and a towel, even a change of clothes for the first day in your new place. If you are on regular medication it’s very important to keep it with you.

Some personal ID, such as a driver’s licence – If you’re opening a new chequing account and applying for utilities, you’ll need proof of your new address too.

Sufficient cash – Sounds silly, but if you’re moving far and opening a new bank account, you may have to wait for your first cheque to clear. You’ll also need some time to learn where neighbourhood bank machines are. 42G

Cell phone with charger or regular land line telephone with plug, if your new line’s hooked up. Put these within easy reach. There’s always potential for an emergency.

08 09

Address book – Keep those important telephone numbers handy.

Snacks, and pizza or fast food numbers and coupons – You’re going to work up an appetite, so think about treating yourself to a quick bite or your first food delivery call.

Lots to drink – Have plenty of water, pop, juice or other refreshments, and some drinking glasses. Dehydration is a sneaky beast, so be prepared. Thirst always seems to come first, particularly if you have to lug that stuff by yourself.

The tool box – Hammers and screwdrivers, Allen keys, nails and screws, Scotch tape, duct tape and especially a tape measure.

Extension cords and batteries – Everything’s electric these days. Computers, CD players, your iPod and cell, and all those little gizmos you just can’t live without. It just makes sense to keep that extension cord and fresh pack of batteries within easy reach.

Blizzards, Black Ice

and moving BY DAN HOPKINS

oving when ice and snow are in the daily forecast isnâ€™t a popular choice for many Canadians. Itâ€™s cold and slippery; but with some extra safety precautions, winter moving also has many advantages.

44G

moving

Moving last minute? No problem, if it’s during the cold months. Choosing to move in the “off season” – sometime between November and March – can save you time and money. Summer is the busiest season for moving companies. This means you must be well prepared, booking six to eight weeks in advance to ensure your preferred moving company is available. Not only are they higher in demand but generally their rates are also more expensive. Some companies may be more willing to negotiate their rates during the winter months as they’re competing for business during the slow season. Likewise, less rush and stress for companies in the winter means you get their best employees resulting in a higher quality of service. With everything booked, now comes the packing. Follow these tips for a relaxed and toasty move – no matter what’s going on outside those frosted windows. • Have a contingency plan. Keep up to date with local weather forecasts and change your plans accordingly. If a big snowfall or freezing rain is expected the morning of your move day, don’t risk it. • Keep cozy. Carry extra warm clothes for you and your family – including hats, gloves and snow pants. Pack these ahead of time and clearly label them so you can locate them immediately. • Remember your items will be in a non-heated environment for a while. Ensure your plants, electronics and liquids are properly packed and protected from the cold. • Allow extra time on the move day – cold weather slows things down. Additionally, rushing in the winter can lead to accidents and injuries. • Have driveways and sidewalks cleared of snow before the movers arrive. Your driveway needs to be

ploughed wider than usual – enough to allow the moving truck’s loading ramp to be positioned as close to your front door as possible. Lay plywood down on muddy or slushy areas. Slipping can not only lead to dropped boxes and broken possessions but also personal injury. • Quality movers will use floor runners to protect your floors in high traffic area but for extra protection inside, cover your floors to protect them from tracked-in snow, mud, and salt. • Drive safe. Make sure maintenance and service on your vehicles is current. Check the air pressure on your tires and ensure the trunk is equipped with emergency kits (matches, flashlight, food), blankets,

and shovels. Drive slowly with extra caution. • Be certain that your heating company for your new home is aware of your move in day. Wintertime moving doesn’t have to be wet and miserable. With these reminders, you’ll be packed up, moved and basking in the warmth of your new home before you know it.

renting checklist what the landlord will require from you by Jane Herman

our apartment search will be more successful if you know in advance what information your landlord will require from you when you make an application to rent.

To ensure that your application goes as smoothly as possible, take some time to compile the appropriate information (such as contact names and phone numbers) before you go to

76G

visit any apartments in person so it is easily accessible when you need it Once you’ve found that perfect apartment, the next step will be to complete a rental application form. Completing this standard form will provide your landlord with some basic information about you: your current residence (or landlord); your rental history – if you have one; your employment history and/or references,

personal references, credit references and banking information or a reference letter from your bank. “It’s also helpful to have a real pay stub to verify your employment,” says Annette Mincer of Direct Properties. Some applicants, it seems, unfortunately do attempt to falsify employment information. You should also bring along on your search a personal cheque, bank draft or sufficient

funds to cover the first and last month’s rent, which you will be required to submit with your application. Without a deposit to establish a contract, the landlord cannot process your application.

renting CheCklist • Cheque, bank draft or funds to cover the first and last month’s rent

ancy, the accumulated interest is applied to top up your last month’s rent deposit so that it remains equivalent to the total of a month’s rent. You should be aware, and agree to have the landlord conduct a credit check on you. This is a standard procedure and does not violate the Privacy Act. The landlord does need your permission to run a credit check, this is usually included in the rental application.

you in advance; however you may be asked for a guarantor or to submit post-dated cheques. Some residents mistakenly think they can get out of a lease any time they want. If you need to terminate your tenancy before your lease expires you must give the landlord 60 days notice to try to re-rent the apartment. You are legally responsible for the rent until it is re-rented or until the termination of the lease, whichever happens first.

• Information on previous residence(s) and landlord(s) including phone numbers and contact information • Employment history – current and previous employers including phone numbers and contact information. Bringing a paystub may be beneficial • Banking information – name, address and phone number of your bank, and account number and contact person • Letter from a personal guarantor, if required • Reference letters or documentation such as credit references, personal references, etc.

If you are not employed (if you are a student, for example), you may need to have a guarantor sign the application form to verify that the rent will be paid on time and in full each month. If you have a guarantor this means that it is their responsibility to pay your rent if you can’t, and they are as financially liable for the rent as you are.

Keep in mind that the last month’s rent is not a “security deposit” (which were declared illegal in Ontario in the 1970s), but rather a deposit that is held in trust by the landlord and then applied to the last month’s rent when you terminate your lease. If you remain in the apartment for more than a year you should receive annual interest on your deposit. If the rent is increased during the term of your ten-

If you are a new immigrant, be prepared to present all of your immigration documentation, as well as the first and last month’s rent. You will also need to be able to verify that you can pay the rent throughout the term of your lease. If you have sufficient funds in your bank account to cover the rent for the term of the lease, but are not employed, this can sometimes be problematic. Be aware that it is illegal for a landlord to try to collect all of the rent from

When you fill out a rental application, make sure that it’s the apartment you really want. You’re putting down a deposit on it and, if approved, it’s yours. By doing your research and knowing what area you want to live in, what you can afford and what type of apartment and amenities you need, you’re sure to find the perfect place – and when you do, you’ll know it.

disciplined delegator or drill sergeant?

quicktips

by Hellen Buttigieg Whether you live alone or have a full house, there’s no reason you can’t have organization. The difference is, when it’s just you on your own, it takes discipline, while when living with others everyone has to do their part. You should be able to teach organizational systems and delegate responsibilities so that everyone in the family has a part in keeping the house in order, whether it’s your spouse putting the mail and paid bills in the right folders or the kids putting their toys back in the right place. You shouldn’t have to be the drill sergeant – repeating the same requests week in and week out. Everyone needs to learn to do their part and work together to keep the house in top shape.

the ‘go-to’ bin Provide a personalized ‘go-to’ bin for each member of the family for things that don’t belong in the room. It keeps items together but out of sight until they’re returned to their proper place. Reserve a few minutes every day, perhaps before dinner, to do the ‘dash’. Each person empties his or her bin by returning the contents to the right place. the ‘inbox’ Complementing the ‘go-to’ bin, create a family mail centre to manage paper flow. Create inboxes for each member of the family. These can be anything from wall-mounted pockets to magazine holders on a shelf. Keep them easily accessible. When paperwork comes into your home, sort it into each family member’s box. Items that need to be signed for school go into a parent’s box. someone else’s clutter got you down? We’ve all heard that opposites attract, but if your partner’s organizing style is drastically different from yours, it can be frustrating for both of you. Before you are tempted to try and change your behavior (or his/hers), keep in mind that the change will be short-lived if you are getting organized for someone else’s approval but will last if you do it because you value the relationship. has your dining room table become a dumping ground? In many homes, seldom-used flat surfaces often become drop zones for mail, books and any other items that don’t have a home. To save your table from becoming a breeding ground for clutter, bring out the china and silverware and set it for a formal dinner. It will be nicer to look at than a mountain of clutter and will actually prevent people from piling their possessions on it. leave with everything you need Clear a shelf in a bookcase near the back entrance and designate the area as a special place to corral items each family member must have to leave the house. For kids, it will serve as home to permission slips, lunch boxes, homework, library books and projects. For adults, it will hold handbags, briefcases, car keys, and dry cleaning. Add a different-colored plastic dishpan for each family member or use attractive square baskets clearly labeled

with each person’s name. When family members come home, they can toss their belongings into their basket until they need them again the next morning. his and her filing systems minimize conflict If you share a filing system with your spouse, how’s that working for you? Often, couples have different organizing styles (as I mentioned, opposites attract). To keep the peace, consider having separate filing systems. If you pay the household bills, keep those documents in your filing system and if your partner takes care of household repairs and receipts, they can keep track of that in their own filing system. Another option is to acknowledge your differences and assign the task of filing and retrieving documents solely to the person who is most comfortable with it. on schedule Keep a family calendar to keep track of everyone’s activities. Designate a central location where everyone can see it. Let each family member choose a colour and have each person enter their activities (if they are old enough) on the schedule using their colour. Preparation Reduce stress and frustration in the mornings by preparing the night before, when you’re not feeling as rushed. Decide what you are going to wear, make sure it’s clean and pressed, and lay it out with any accessories you plan to wear with it. It only takes a few minutes but will save you so much time and aggravation in the morning. Encourage your spouse and children to start this habit too, and enjoy more morning time.

Are You

emergencY Prone? B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

hen the experts say that you need an emergency fund, they’re suggesting that you set aside some money just in case something really big comes along to throw you off your well-laid financial path. We’re talking a loss of job. We’re talking an illness that has you sidelined for a few months or longer. We’re talking major unpredictable events.

Over and over I meet people who are battered by emergencies. Their tires need to be replaced. Couldn’t see that coming, right? Their 15-year-old microwave gives up the ghost. Totally out of the blue, eh? The car needs winter tires. We live in Canada – snow isn’t a big surprise! Most of the emergencies people site are actually events that could be predicted and planned for, with a little insight and a willingness to set some money aside for a planned expense. Truth is, most people would rather spend the money now! So they close their eyes to the inevitable arrival of an “unforeseen expense” and then claim it’s an emergency. Then there are the folks who turn their little “emergencies”into big expenses. Sure your fridge isn’t working and you need a new one. Might as well upgrade if we are getting another one. But heading out to find a shiny stainless-steel job where a less expensive fridge would do without having the money set aside isn’t an emergency, it’s an excuse to go shopping on credit. Now you’ve turned your small need into a big ol’ want and you can’t wait to scratch your itch. People love new. And they love bigger too. They are loath to look for the lessexpensive way to do things when the “emergency” has supplied them with the perfect excuse blow a wad of cash credit. When my air-conditioning in my car went recently, I headed to my local car doctor to figure out the problem. He replaced my Freon, which promptly re-evaporated. He could replace the whole system or cap the sucker before the leak but I’d only have air in the front of the van. Cost difference? About $1,000. I said,“Cap the sucker!” Sometimes the fix makes more sense in the grander scheme of things. Yes there are times why buying new is the right solution, but it isn’t in an “emergency,” it’s when you’ve made a plan to replace whatever it is you need, done your research and saved the money you’ll have to spend.

It makes no sense to label every financial setback an “emergency” and then panic as you search for the quickest solution. Panic leads to irrational acts. Irrational acts are expensive. It makes far more sense to look at your stuff and think about it in the context of when it will likely need to be replaced. I know I’ll need another car in about 150,000 or so kilometers. So I’ll make allowance for that in my planning. If it comes a little sooner than I expect, I’ll still be well on my way to my planned spending. If it comes a little later, all that extra time is gravy! If you find you just can’t get ahead of all the little “emergencies” that keep cropping up in your life, you need to build a “contingency” fund into your budget. This is a good alternative for people who just can’t seem to plan ahead. Hey, you are who you are and it’s better to accept your shortcomings as a planner and have an alternative than continue to be jolted by surprises. Setting aside some money to deal with

the unexpected will not only give you the wiggle room in your budget, it’ll stop you tapping your emergency fund. Now you have a way to deal with all the unexpected expenses that keep cropping up in your life while you continue to build a safety net for the really big stuff that may come along. Your emergency fund is meant to hold you through the toughest of times, not scratch every replacement itch you get. Leave it alone so it can grow. In the mean time, take an inventory of what you have and when it’s likely to expire. Start planning to eliminate all the “emergencies” that have been draining your just-in-case fund.

frpo report

respect is a

TWO WAY STREET By ted whitehead

The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) does a lot of promoting of the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), which we established to provide quality assurance to renters at buildings that obtain this certification. It’s about accountability on the part of apartment owners and property managers to do as much as they can to provide a good quality of life for tenants. Respect should be a two-way street, with renters doing their part to abide by the rules and guidelines set out by the management and outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act (www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_ statutes_06r17_e.htm). Keep in mind that these parameters are set for several reasons, one of which is to help ensure the safety and comfort of all tenants. They also protect the investment of apartment building owners, who should be able to expect that their premises will be treated with care. One of the best ways to be a good tenant and encourage a healthy, open relationship with your owner and property manager is to live by the golden rule. Treat your apartment the way you would like it be treated if you owned the building. And the same goes for the people. Paying rent on time, for example, goes a long way toward that goal. So does keeping your apartment relatively clean, which will help keep things like floors and appliances last longer. Owners and property managers understand that over time, buildings experience normal wear and tear. If renters damage something through a deliberate action, however, they should pay for the repairs. You do not own your rental unit, so of course, you do not have the authority to change the locks without the landlord’s or property manager’s permission. For safety and security reasons, being able to access your apartment when you are not there may be necessary in an emergency. Remember, too, that an apartment building is a community under one roof. Rules regarding things like pets, noise and what is safe to store and use on your balcony are there for the benefit of all tenants. If in doubt, ask.

98G

If you own a bicycle, check as to whether you can keep it on your balcony, or the building has a bike storage area. If the elevators are small, it may pose a safety hazard to have people transporting their bikes in and out. As a renter, you are privileged to live in an apartment that is provided and maintained by someone else. When all tenants obey the rules, the quality of life is raised for everyone involved. Remember that respect is a two-way street. To learn more about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant, visit the website of the Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario at www.ltb.gov.on.ca/ en/index.html, where you will find a Guide to the Residential Tenancies Act. You will also find a wealth of information at www.frpo.org.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd

red LentiL soup with Bacon, cumin & harissa

directions

ed lentils or “masoor dal” in India, are one of my favourite types of legume, full of fiber, protein, and iron, they’re a near perfect food. Wonderfully versatile, they cook faster than other varieties and can be paired with a multitude of ingredients. This savoury Moroccan-spiced recipe for Red Lentil Soup with Bacon, Cumin and Harissa is both comforting and delicious, and gets an extra kick from the harissa, a hot chili paste typically associated with Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.

In a large saucepan over mediumhigh heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a piece of paper towel, and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from pan. Add the garlic, onion, and carrots to saucepan. Cook vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the the lentils, cumin, harissa (or tomato paste), chicken stock, wine and water; stir to combine. Simmer until the lentils are cooked and falling apart, about 25-30 minutes. The soup is fairly thick, so if you prefer it thinner just add more stock or water. Using an immersion or regular blender, purée the soup, leaving it somewhat chunky or smooth. Reheat if necessary, stirring in the lemon juice. To serve, divide the hot soup among four warmed soup plates and garnish with the reserved crumbled bacon, a dollop of yogurt and fresh sprig of basil.

Most lentil soups fall into one of two categories: highly spiced, or not spiced – sometimes called bland. This one sits very happily at the spicy end with the harissa adding a tolerable amount of heat and a wonderful complexity of flavour. A hearty, thick and satisfying soup, the bacon, cumin and yogurt add a robust note to this delicious low fat soup, perfect for a cold winter evening. The vibrant golden hue adds a beautiful burst of colour to the bleakest of winter months.

116G

ingredients serves four to six › 5 slices (4-ounces) bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice

HOW TO FRESHEN YOUR HOME

with a touch of

style and glamour

ach time you open a kitchen cabinet or reach for a towel in the bathroom you’ll give yourself a nice surprise. It’s all so simple – and not at all expensive – saying goodbye to old cabinet hardware and indulging yourself in new shapes, new styles, new colours.

While major makeovers and renovations are still the realm of the homeowner, there’s no reason that renters can’t hone in on the makeover fun! One of the real benefits is that these less invasive and more temporary projects have, of course, a much smaller budget too. A great place to start is hardware. Decorative hardware is a small, low-cost, change that mean so much. The idea is catching on, and manufacturers are responding, with new shapes, new styles, and especially new colours. Take Amerock, for example. A familiar name, over 80 years in business, but still with its finger on the pulse and developing complete answers to decorative needs. Fall in love with a style, and you’ll find it’s available in all the shapes, sizes and colours you need – even hard-to-find oversize items. Looking for glamour? Reach for Abernathy – combining jewel-like clear crystal with a choice of metallic finishes – antique silver, oil-rubbed bronze and satinnickel. How could a simple knob be quite so elegant? And how could such an elegant accessory

cost so little? New from Amerock are two gorgeous finishes, both variations on the increasingly-popular theme of bronze. The company’s designers describe the new caramel bronze as a “decadent” finish. It has a glow all its own, rich and coppery. It’s available in the sleek and modern Candler Collection of pulls and knobs, and in the even sleeker Extensity Collection. The other new finish –brushed bronze – plays up the silver and gold tones, and can be seen at its most elegant in the Essential’Z cabinet collection and the Arroni bath collection. You can browse the complete offering online at amerock.com. Local sources include Home Depot, Home Hardware and Rona. NC

FROM BOOMERS TO MILLENNIALS:

How an era can shape financial planning habits TD Canada Trust and psychology professor Dr. J Bruce Morton explore generational attitudes towards savings, offer advice to all ages

SPENDERS AND SAVERS OF ALL AGES CAN POINT TO specific social and economic factors that shape their generation’s views on financial planning and saving for retirement. Each generation, from Boomers to Gen X to Millennials, have specific attitudes towards money and saving influenced by when they grew up and the realities of their lifestage. John Tracy, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust, and Dr. J Bruce Morton, Department of Psychology, Western University Canada, take a look at the influences on Millennials, Gen Xers and Boomers’ approach to saving for the future in order to give Canadians the insight they need to make smart financial decisions at any age. “Understanding what motivates your generation to save can help identify useful financial planning strategies for each stage of your life,” says John Tracy, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust. “Regardless of your life stage,

knowing how much you will need to retire is essential to managing your money and being prepared financially for the future. A financial advisor can help determine what your numbers look like, work with you to create a plan, and make adjustments as your needs and lifestyle change.” According to Dr. Morton, saving for the future touches on a fundamental trade-off in human decision making, namely balancing the opportunity for small immediate rewards with an interest in larger long-term benefits. How each of us balances this trade-off depends in part on values, priorities and motivations, which to a large extent are influenced by the world we grew up in. “While every person makes decisions based on what makes the most sense from their vantage point - specifically how to maximize gains and minimize losses - what seems reasonable to some individuals may not be reasonable to others,” says Dr. Morton. “This decision-making process is influenced by the generation to which we belong, and the corresponding cultural and economic factors that make the future appear differently to us.” Millennials (1982-1999) Research from TD Canada Trust shows that 65% of Millennials continually feel they are spending too much

money (versus 56% of Gen X and 44% of Boomers). They are also the most likely to feel there is more they need to know about the savings and investment options available to them (55% versus 51% of Gen X and 45% of Boomers).

Boomers (1946-1964) While eight-in-10 Boomers (79%) feel confident they are managing their money well, the majority are still worried about having enough money (56%).

“Perhaps the defining factor for the Millennial generation is persistent economic uncertainty,”says Dr. Morton.“Faced with job market challenges and an uncertain economy, Millennials may find it difficult to envision a concrete future, making saving for the long-term seem less reasonable.”

“As part of the post-war generation, Boomers were not only influenced by parents who survived the Great Depression, but many have also enjoyed economic affluence and employment stability throughout their career, making saving for both the short and long-term appear sensible,” says Dr. Morton.

For Millennials who feel it will be difficult to save money, Tracy recommends setting up an automated savings plan that invests a set amount at regular intervals into an RSP. Contribution amounts can start small and increase as income grows. “While retirement may feel far away for Millennials, it’s important to acknowledge that it’s inevitable,”says Tracy.“With time on your side, saving even a little regularly can add up, while allowing you to take advantage of compound interest.” Gen X (1965-1981) Of the generations surveyed, Gen X had the most competing financial priorities, with saving for retirement (55%), paying off their mortgage (44%), paying off loans (38%), paying down credit card debt (37%) and creating an emergency savings fund (37%) topping the list. With so many priorities, it’s not surprising that 70% continually feel they are not saving enough. “Gen X individuals grew up during a period of unprecedented economic transformation marked by greater fluidity in the job market and the elimination of mandatory retirement. These larger economic forces have led to a shift away from traditional notions of career and retirement,” says Dr. Morton.“As a result, many Gen Xers anticipate working well into traditional retirement years, undermining the incentive to save for the long-term.” Compared to other generations, Tracy adds, Gen Xers often have an abundance of competing financial priorities, making it challenging to carve out money for retirement savings. Even though Gen Xers may feel the need to postpone retirement, it’s important to contribute regularly during peak income earning years to build a comfortable nest-egg for retirement - whenever it may start. “As a general rule, Gen Xers should aim to save enough to have 60% to 80% of their annual working income per year to live on during retirement if they don’t want to change their lifestyle,” advises Tracy.“If more needs to be saved, be diligent about finding ways to cut back on other expenses, as even a modest increase to retirement savings can add up.”

Tracy recommends Boomers first assess how much they will need in retirement to maintain the lifestyle they want. With this in mind, engage a financial advisor and work backward to develop a realistic plan that includes lowering or eliminating debt prior to retirement to free-up income during this stage in your life. “As a Boomer, even if saving for the future is a top priority, it’s equally important to know how much you realistically need to save and whether you are on track to reach your goal,” says Tracy. “Compare your goal to the income you will have from your current savings to determine how much more you need to save.” About the TD Canada Trust RSP Poll TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group (www.environics.ca) to conduct an online custom survey of 2,407 Canadians 25 years of age or older, including 201 Millennials, 543 Gen Xers and 443 Boomers. The total sample was weighted by age, gender and region to be proportionately representative of the Canadian population who are 25 years of age and older. Responses were collected between December 5 and 11, 2012. About TD Canada Trust TD Canada Trust offers personal and business banking to more than 11.5 million customers.

WHICH CELEB’S LEGS ARE INSURED? Ten weird and wacky celebrity insurance policies

odels, musicians, actresses and athletes have to take care of themselves to stay at the top of their respective fields. However, when one reaches such great levels of popularity it’s no surprise that they take precautions in the case of the unforeseen. With this in mind, online insurance, credit card and mortgage comparison service www.Kanetix.ca has compiled a list of the Top Ten Celebrity Insured Body Parts. Counting down to the strangest, craziest body-part-relatedinsurance-coverage for some of the most recognizable celebs in the world, the list includes policies dealing in millions of dollars covering everything from a certain athlete’s hair ($1 000 000), to something as simple as a smile (a whopping $30 000 000 policy!). The level of vanity associated with such policies is almost unfathomable, but one has to consider that often the label, sponsor, or other deep-pocketed corporation have taken the policy out on their client. Consider professional football player, Troy Polamalu, of the Pittsburg Steelers. He’s a spokesperson for the Head and Shoulders brand of hair products which, in 2010, took out a $1 million insurance policy from Llyod’s of London on Polamalu’s signature locks. It’s no wonder Polamalu eased his way into the top 10 with such an expensive and impressive head of hair! The list takes into account two specific factors: the amount of money placed on the policy, and the sheer strangeness of it. While some body parts are certainly stranger than others (see: David Lee Roth), weight is placed equally on the strangeness of a particular insured body part and the amount of money riding on the policy. In this sense, a few notable celebs were just shy of making the final cut: Tom Jones’ insured chest hair, cricket star Merv Hughes’ $370,000 mustache, and of course the legendary

bassist of KISS, Gene Simmons, and his infamous tongue which is reportedly insured for a whopping $1 million. Then again, these are just the honourable mentions; the official top 10 is jaw-dropping by comparison. From a $300 million rear-end to Van Halen’s frontman having insurance on his reproductive parts, the realm of insuring celeb body parts is as fascinating as it is downright crazy. It’s said that fame is fleeting, but if these policies are any indication it could at least lead to one heck of a payday. Launched in October 1999, Kanetix was Canada’s first online car insurance quotes marketplace and today provides over a million quotes per year to consumers looking for insurance, as well as comparisons for mortgage rates and credit cards. The Kanetix.ca comparison service is a one-stop shopping environment for consumers. Each day, thousands visit the Kanetix website to comparison shop their various financial needs. Shoppers choose what they want to compare, obtain a quotation and complete an online application or, with the help of Kanetix connect with the provider to purchase or apply for the product over the phone. Through its Software as a Service team, Kanetix is also the leading provider of online insurance quotation technology, developing online quotation systems, mobile solutions, actuarial tools and websites for many of Canada’s largest insurance brands.

CAN YOU FINANCIALLY PLAN YOUR WAY TO

happiness?

an money buy you happiness? Likely not. But a financial plan just may be the ticket â€“ and you donâ€™t have to be rich to have one. Happiness means different things to different people, but itâ€™s hard to deny that those who feel they are closer to living the life they want and meeting more of their life goals just may be a tad happier. And financial planning seems to be a powerful path to help people achieve these goals.

The Financial Planning Standards Council, the not-for-profit organization that awards Certified Financial Planner certification, and that is committed to seeing Canadians improve their lives by engaging in financial planning, conducted a study that explored Canadiansâ€™ financial planning activities and their levels of emotional and financial well being. It turns out that those who have comprehensive financial plans report being a lot more optimistic about a wide range of factors related to their emotional and financial well being:

What to look for in an apartment BY JANE HERMAN

re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________ Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry

facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements L]Vi Ndj H]djaY @cdl 7Z[dgZ ndj H^\c V AZVhZ

hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a â€œlease.â€?

Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms. To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: t 5IF OBNFT PG UIF MBOEMPSE BOE UFOBOU T t 5IF BEESFTT PG UIF IPNF PS BQBSUNFOU ZPV BSF SFOUJOH t 5IF NPOUIMZ SFOU ZPV BHSFFE UP QBZ XJUI PS XJUIPVU VUJMJUJFT QBSLJOH DBCMF UFMFWJTJPO PS PUIFS TFSWJDFT t 5IF EBUF XIFO UIF SFOU JT EVF GPS FYBNQMF PO UIF m STU EBZ PG FBDI NPOUI t 5IF BNPVOU BOE UFSNT PG BOZ SFOU TFDVSJUZ PS EBNBHF EFQPTJUT ZPV BHSFFE UP QBZ

Packing Tips and List I^eh id bV`Z ndjg bdkZ V a^iiaZ ZVh^Zg# PACKING TIPS

P P

Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.

Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.

P P P P P P P P P

Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.

Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.

Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack

Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.

Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)

GENERAL MOVING TIPS

P Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.

P Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.

P To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.

P Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

New Year,

NEW HOME

ew year, new opportunities indicates weekly trips to the gym, carrots instead of candy and an opportunity to break bad habits. How about a resolution that goes beyond 2013 and keeps your children and home safe for years to come? This year, make it a priority to childproof your kitchen and clean beyond the countertops to keep your family happy and healthy all year long. “Your kitchen never gets a day off,” said , owner of .“Between hot appliances and sharp cooking utensils, kids can often be in danger of hurting themselves. Fortunately, homeowners can prevent most accidents by making a few simple adjustments and educating their children about kitchen safety.” Follow theseresolutiontips from Mr. Appliance to keep your kitchen clean and your kids safe: Refrigerator Keep items not safe for kids on higher shelves. Place juice boxes, apple slices and cheese sticks on the lower shelves for a healthy snack within your child’s reach. Soak refrigerator removable parts in the sink with warm, soapy water to remove stains from food spills to keep new produce as fresh as possible. Position refrigerator shelves to make it difficult for children to climb inside and close the door leaving your kitchen with a dangerous hide-and-seek spot.

Stove and Oven Turn pot and pan handles in and away from the edge of the stove so curious hands can’t pull them down. Remove oven racks and wash them by hand with warm water and soap to remove caked on food that can burn in your oven. Establish a “safety zone” marked by a small rug or area of the kitchen to keep kids several feet away from the oven while it’s hot. Microwave Oven Wipe interior microwave surfaces with a mixture of two tablespoons baking soda and one quart water to remove food stains and keep your microwave clean for future use. Encourage children to use an oven mitt when removing a hot plate or bowl. Heat a microwave-safe bowl of vanilla extract for three minutes to give your kitchen a fresh scent. Dishwasher Keep the dishwasher closed when you’re not loading or unloading. Sharp utensils inside can be dangerous to children.

Create a “safety zone” when opening the door to a steam-heavy dishwasher to avoid burns from the hot steam. Teach children to wait for dishes to cool down before unloading. Give your dishwasher a fresh start to thoroughly clean your dishes. Remove food residue by running an empty dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar. Most of these resolution tips can be accomplished in a matter of minutes and keep your home safe and energy efficient, too! If you find a problem that you can’t handle, contact an appliance repair professional to help.

TAKE YOUR HOME FROM DREARY TO CHEERY

with a fresh coat of paint

hat’s a quick and easy way to make a room look instantly cleaner and brighter? Add a fresh coat of paint. But don’t think this project will be a long and labourious one - with a little planning and the right products, it’s as easy as one-two-three. Ensure the success of your next project by following these five easy, fundamental steps:

1. A little prep and planning goes a long way Painting is one of the easiest do-ityourself projects - it doesn’t require any special training or skill ... if you use the right tools. When you’re planning, be sure to add high-quality paint brushes and roller covers to your arsenal of tools. They’ll come in handy for this project and for years to come. It’s always best to read the label closely when choosing a roller cover to determine if it’s the right type for the specific project. To save time and take the guesswork out of the process,

try a microfiber roller cover, like the new Ultra Finish option from Purdy. Not only does it provide superior performance and coverage with all types of paint, the high-quality microfiber holds more paint, allowing you to finish your project faster. Not so fast ... before you pick up that roller or open a paint can, the next task on your list is to prepare the surface. Clear the walls of any artwork or décor and then fill nail holes with a small dab of patching compound. If you have larger holes, dents or cracks, it’s best to use a putty knife to repair them and then gently sand the surface. Be sure your walls are clean before you start painting - grease, dust, residue or cobwebs will negatively affect the look of your finished project. 2. Pick the perfect paint Spring is a great time to lighten things up. Crisp, light neutrals can make a room feel larger and instantly brighter. Plus, utilizing a neutral colour on the wall allows you to quickly change up your space whenever the mood strikes, with new pillows, throws or decorative accents. For a more modern neutral, try“greige” - a gray-beige mix - that’s versatile and comfortable in nearly any space. Once you choose the right shade, concentrate on using the right formula and sheen of paint. Think about the type of space you’re painting, the final look and the level of durability you want to achieve. 3. Concentrate on the edges After prepping the walls, don’t forget to cover the floors and any furniture with drop cloths or plastic. If you’re a novice and you’re looking to achieve clean paint lines around the space, painter’s tape along the trim, doors, windows and moulding will provide an extra level of protection. Then, take your time and slowly cut in around the edges with your high-quality, angled brush. Although it can seem tedious, a little bit of patience is key when painting and can really

make a room look like it was done by a professional. 4. Roll it out Now that the walls and your room are prepped and the edges are complete, you’re finally ready to start painting the rest of the wall. Start in a corner of the wall and apply paint as close to the edge as possible. Then, paint a large“W”or“M” on the wall, filling in and overlapping the areas while the paint is wet. This way, you’ll get even coverage and avoid roller marks and lines. If paint splatters off the roller, it can mean one of two things: you either have too much paint on the cover or you’re rolling too fast. So when it’s time to reload, roll the cover back and forth on the upper half of the paint tray to remove excess paint and equally distribute the colour. Make slow, even passes to get splatters under control. 5. Clean it up The paint’s on the wall, the tape’s removed and you’re almost ready to sit back, relax and enjoy your newly spruced up space. But first, be sure to clean your tools so they stay in tip-top shape for your next project. If you used latex paint, simply wash brushes and roller covers with soap and water until the water runs clear. A great way to remove excess paint or water is by running the curved edge of a painter’s tool along the roller. Once the water runs clear again, dry the roller or brush by spinning it between your palms quickly inside a garbage bin or deep sink. Painting a room is something that can be accomplished in a weekend - or even a day - so you can easily breathe some freshness into your décor this spring with a little bit of seasonal inspiration.ARA

HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT

\jZhi WZYgddb by EVELYN ESHUN

WHEN CREATING A GUEST ROOM, IT IS OFTEN

important to create a self-contained suite where your guest can be comfortable and find most of the personal comforts of home. Just think of a hotel suite and the various elements that can be found within it. The bed is the key piece of furniture in a bedroom so it’s important to make it a luscious and welcoming space. You can’t go wrong with classic crisp white bedding – get the best quality bedding you can find and afford and your guest will have a memorable and restful sleep. Storage for clothing is a must so that your guests can put away their clothes which gives them a sense of permanence in the room. A

chair and a table surface are needed for multi-tasking as it gives them an opportunity to sit and write or simply chat on the phone. Don’t forget to add an alarm clock with a radio, and a mirror for personal grooming – these items are often an oversight. This bedroom was created with the aim of making it welcoming and warm with lots of storage to maintain a neat and clean look. We incorporated built-in storage on either side of the bed to include full-depth 24-inch hanging closet space with nightstands at the standard 26-inch height. This complete unit was painted a muted deep blue-grey colour (Duxbury Grey, Benjamin Moore HC 163).

1beOb_f 4_Rf 50 # /R[WNZV[ :\\_R

IF THE GUEST ROOM DOES NOT HAVE AN ENSUITE BATH, PROVIDE THE ROOM WITH A GUEST PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES ITEMS LIKE: TOWELS, GUEST SOAP, A MANICURE SET, WATER AND A GLASS.

This creates a focal wall and is ultimately a very functional addition to the overall space as well. The monochromatic colour scheme is continued in the bedding with silk accent pillows. Lighting is always a key component to any successful interior, and in this bedroom we added task lighting with the wallmounted elbow lights that flank the bed. The ceiling-mounted light fixture is a sophisticated light feature with its crystal and translucent shade that soften the light in the space. If the guest room does not have an ensuite bath, provide the room with a guest package which includes items like: towels, guest soap, a manicure set, water and a glass. A small pouch filled with lavender not only will ensure a wonderful, restful sleep but it is a much welcomed luxury.

<J:HI GDDB 8=:8@A>HI/ â€ş Use a calm and cosy colour scheme, stick to two colours maximum with muted shades â€ş Ensure that there is adequate lighting with task lighting at the bed for late night reading â€ş Provide seating and a table surface for writing â€ş Provide a collection of towels, extra blankets and other personal need items so that your guest does not have to knock on your bedroom door to ask for them â€ş Seasonal fresh flowers and water on the night table to welcome your guest is a thoughtful touch â€ş Night stands or simple side tables beside the bed for a place to rest personal items â€ş Adequate storage for clothing â€ş Bedside alarm clock with a radio â€ş Provide a mirror, especially if there is no ensuite bath

Newest zero-calorie sweetener COMES FROM THE STEVIA PLANT

any Canadians are concerned about reducing the amount of added sugar in their diet and zero- or low–caloriesweeteners may offer the perfect solution, dietitians say.

Rebaudioside A or “stevia” as it is commonly called, is a zero calorie natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. The stevia plant is native to South America, specifically Brazil and Paraguay, and has been used for centuries to sweeten foods. Its leaves contain naturally sweet compounds that are 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. Researchers say that in the stevia leaf, it is rebaudioside A (or simply Reb–A) that is the sweetest of all the natural compounds. Studies have shown Reb-A to be a safe sugar alternative in food and beverages. Research has also documented no adverse affects for those with diabetes and hypertension. Not only are stevia–based sweeteners approved for use in many countries around the world (including Asia for more than 30 years) but here as well, Health Canada has approved the use of stevia in natural health products such as vitamin-enhanced waters and herbal products. As a result, companies like PepsiCo Canada are developing their own products sweetened with

this natural extract. Beverages such as Trop50 vitamin enhanced juice beverages, Aquafina Plus+ 10 Cal vitamin-enhanced waters and SoBe Lo Cal enhanced fruit flavoured beverage all include Reb A. Consumers can also buy stevia leaves (fresh, dried or powdered), or grow it themselves, for use in their own cooking or baking. NC

Five SURE CURES FOR THE EMPTY-NEST

he resonating silence of a home or a leisurely drive past a soccer field can often make an empty-nester weepy. When teens and twentysomethings leave home to begin their adult lives, many parents experience sadness and a sense of loss. The truth is that this transition isn’t just survivable – it can even be beneficial. Here are some ways to take charge and ensure that this stage of your life is one to look forward to.

1 Throw a send-off party Embrace and celebrate this life’s passage. Plan a fabulous party for your child and invite your family and friends. Go with a theme that symbolizes freedom and responsibilities and send your child off with practical gifts like a basic cookbook, a box of laundry detergent, grocery store gift cards and tableware. 2 Cultivate an adult relationship Establish a weekly check-in routine with each other. Stay in touch by email, phone or Skype. Let them know you are there for them to calm their insecurities about life away from home. Use your experience to create special bonding moments with your child long after they leave. 3 Fill the void and rediscover your passions Parents often give up some interests to be available to their children. Now is the time to throw yourself into those hobbies and activities again. Join a book club, learn a new language, volunteer, or sponsor a child through a non-profit organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca). In fact there are many organizations where you can help bring hope and lasting change to children who need it most. 4 Take care of yourself…and a pet Adopt an exercise routine to stay physically healthy. Poor physical health can aggravate feelings of sadness caused by empty nest syndrome. As for pets, if you don’t have one, consider adopting one. Not only are they loyal and loving, they also relieve loneliness, provide good companionship, and increase social exposure for their owners. 5 Connect with your spouse In all the craziness of raising children, parents sometimes lose track of their most important relationship and support person – their spouse. Quiet evenings, long walks, impromptu trips and romantic dinners out are all possible now that the kids aren’t around! NC

Mushroom, Chicken and Leek Pot Pie Prepared pastry and pre-sliced mushrooms make this tasty meal quick to prepare. For even faster preparation, substitute leftover cooked turkey cubes for the chicken. PREPARATION TIME: 25 MINUTES BAKING TIME: 25-30 MINUTES INGREDIENTS: 1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4) 2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil, divided 2 large leeks, white part only, sliced (2cups/500 mL) 1 lb (500g) sliced Fresh Mushrooms 1 tbsp (15 mL) dried tarragon 2 tbsp (25 mL) all purpose flour 3/4 cup (175 mL) chicken stock ½ tsp (2 mL) salt ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper 1 9”/22cm deep dish frozen pie shell, thawed

DIRECTIONS: Cut chicken into 3/4-inch (2 cm) cubes. In large non-stick saucepan or deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned but still pink inside, about 3-4 minutes. Spoon into 6 cup (1.5 L) baking dish or deep pie plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil to same pan. Sauté leeks, mushroom and tarragon for two to three minutes; cover and cook about three minutes or until vegetables are softened. Sprinkle in flour and stir to blend. Gradually stir in chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and stir until thickened, about three minutes. Spoon mixture over chicken. Invert thawed pie shell over casserole pressing pastry edge to baking dish and crimp or flute the edges. Cut three or four slits in pastry. Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and pastry is brown.

Makes 4 servings. Tip: To thaw pie shell, leave at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. If desired, brush pastry with beaten egg before baking to give a browner top. Variation: Substitute 3 cups (750 mL) cubed cooked turkey or chicken for 1 lb ( 500g ) chicken breasts; decrease oil to 1 tbsp(15 mL) and omit browning. Place cooked meat in casserole and continue as directed above.

Renting with

CHILDREN BY JANE HERMAN

tatistics show that one in five renters have children. Whether youâ€™re a single parent, or a family with young children and are searching for a suitable apartment, living with children in an apartment can present certain challenges. Here are some suggestions that will help to make your experience a success.

CAN YOU BE DENIED AN APARTMENT IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN? You are required to disclose on your rental application who the occupants of the apartment will be. Technically a landlord cannot deny you an apartment if you have children (this would be a Human Rights violation), but you should be aware that some buildings are much more childfriendly than others. Keep this in mind when searching and if necessary ask the rental agent if there are young children or other families with children in the building.

SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE PARAMOUNT Infants and toddlers should never be left alone in an apartment – that includes going downstairs for even five minutes or less to get the mail, do the laundry, take out the garbage, or get something from your car. Infants – even if sleeping in a crib – should never be left unattended. Likewise, keep your eye on your toddler and ensure that windows and balcony doors are kept locked. Children, particularly school-age children under the age of 11, should not be left alone in apartments if parents are working or are out for other reasons, but many parents have little choice and do it anyway. Serious injuries – due to falls, accidents, burns, poisoning, etc., could result from a variety of accidents that could easily occur in an apartment building. Your children are your responsibility and should not be free to run around the halls and ride on the elevators. Although it is extremely rare, children wandering alone through the building could easily be lured into the apartment of a stranger with ulterior motives.

BE SENSITIVE TO THE NEEDS OF CHILDLESS NEIGHBOURS If you do have children, keep in mind that many of your neighbours don’t. Your child-free and childless neighbours are not used to living with crying and shouting, or coping with large strollers, so be sensitive to the needs and concerns of others. Children do have a right to be there, but they are your responsibility at all times. Strollers should be folded up and stored inside your apartment or in the storage room and bicycles parked in storage racks provided for that purpose.

CHOOSE AN AREA THAT’S CONVENIENT TO SCHOOLS, PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS If you are renting with children, research the neighbourhood first to find out where schools, parks and playgrounds are located. Some companies are very sensitive to the needs of families and welcome children enthusiastically and happily provide this information. Some buildings even provide on-site daycare and host seasonal events like Hallowe’en parties, picnics and barbecues for year-round family fun. If your building does not have onpremises daycare, search the Internet for information about municipal daycare in your neighbourhood. Or inquire in the rental office if anyone in the building provides babysitting or childcare services (either in their apartment or in yours). Perhaps after you have settled into your apartment community and have gotten to know some of your neighbours you might be able to exchange babysitting services. When they are old enough, teach your children essential streetproofing, safety and other coping skills. While there is no law specifying the minimum age

a child must be to stay alone, if you choose to do so, ensure that you give children the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to manage if they have to be alone in the apartment for any length of time. Address with them, if they can invite friends over. How can they use the kitchen safely? What would they do in an emergency? It is important to prepare for the unexpected.
