EDITORS’ NOTES

f you’re a regular reader of Renters Guide, you know we offer a variety of information for those looking for a new place to call home. But did you know it is your responsibility as a tenant to know your rights and responsibilities prior to signing a lease agreement? By knowing the terms of the rental contract ahead of time, you will be well informed and able to determine if the location is the right one for you. Once you choose your location, a landlord should give you adequate written notice when rent or landlord services have been adjusted, and you should be able to discuss any clarifications or adjustments before a new lease is signed. Many landlords and property management companies do their jobs well and care about the property they own as well as the people who live there. It is in their best interest to keep good tenants. Many go above and beyond. Do you know a terrific landlord or property management team? What makes him or her so great? Let us know. We’d love to hear from you!

Susan Legge EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, homeTRADER susan.legge@wall2wallmedia.com Follow me on Twitter at Twitter.com/SusanLegge

hat does the fire alarm sound like? What do you do if your carbon monoxide (CO) detector sounds off? Are they both working properly? Do you know where the flashlights are? Emergencies are rare, but it’s good to be prepared and have the basics at the ready – just in case. While it’s not likely, the last thing you want to do is be woken up by an alarm and be bewildered and confused. There are a few simple things you can do to make sure you’re prepared for any emergency. Go over a plan with your household. Know what your alarms sound like. If your fire alarm or CO detector goes off, you’ll need to assess whether it’s a false alarm quite quickly, and from there evacuate and call 911. When in doubt, err on the side of caution. CO is odourless and colourless. You can’t actually tell if it’s a false alarm or not so get help just to be on the safe side. Ignoring it or removing the batteries can be a deadly mistake. Your landlord is required to have a working fire alarm and CO detector in every unit, but you should make sure they’re functioning properly. Have a working flashlight available – one for each person is preferable. Be familiar with your escape route. Keep valuables or irreplaceables in a backpack that can easily be taken with. You won’t have time to pack or get dressed so have shoes, clothes and a jacket accessible since you may not be allowed back in for some time – from hours to days in a true emergency. Home safe home awaits! 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!

Security

is everyone’s business By Jane He rman

enerally, it’s the building owner and management who are responsible for the security of your building. The Residential Tenancies Act notes that the building’s windows, doors, locks and lighting must be in a good state of repair. The safety of your neighbourhood can also have a significant impact on your building’s security. However, residents can also help to ensure that the building is safe and secure. Be alert and help to prevent dangerous situations before they occur.

Residents have a right to expect reasonable protection, both inside their apartments as well as in common areas such as parking garages and elevators. This includes proper lighting in lobbies, corridors

16G

and laundry facilities, and deadbolt locks on doors and window locks. Responsible landlords maintain and fix security problems, such as burnedout lights, and deal with complaints about suspicious activities or broken security items. Check out the condition of security features when apartment hunting and after you move in. If you notice that any of your building’s safety features are broken or malfunctioning, report them immediately to the management. One of the most important ways to help keep your building safe is to restrict and prevent access to the building by persons who are not authorized to be there. This can create serious potential security risks. Do not be afraid to question someone who is waiting for you to buzz them in.

Burglars have been known to pose as delivery people to gain entry. Though the convenience may make it tempting, you should never make a key for friends or family members, or give out your building access code or card to anyone who does not lawfully reside in the building. Relationships change, friends come and go – there’s no need for someone with whom you are no longer involved with to have access to your home, raising safety concerns for both you and other residents in the building. If you have any concerns or notice anything suspicious, be sure to contact the appropriate person as soon as possible, be it the superintendent, building management, or even the police.

or security personnel who knock on your door unannounced.

a ladder to steal them. Conceal and store items you cannot store inside.

» Report any security concerns or problems to the building manager

» If you live near the ground and you like to open your windows, make sure they do not open wide enough to let someone through.

» Do not disable security features. Safety latches on windows keep intruders out – and children in.

» Keep your door locked at all times, even when you are in your apartment. Remember to lock you apartment

Thanks to modern technology, security systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Security pass cards and innovative key fob passes are issued to residents in many buildings. These can be enabled and disabled remotely by the administration, thus limiting building access to tenants

» Do not prop exit doors open. These are designed to stay closed for security and fire safety.

when you step out to do something in the building, like transfer your laundry, get the mail or take out the recycling.

» Do not hold the door for a stranger to enter. Be wary of strangers who linger around the front door and dash to hold the door open after it has been unlocked.

» Keep your balcony doors locked at all times. If they are not equipped with a good deadbolt lock, make sure to keep a sturdy bar in the door’s track to prevent it from opening.

To help keep your building safe and secure, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation recommends that you:

» Do not give your apartment keys or passcards to strangers or tell strangers the access codes to the building or amenities like the pool, gym, underground garage or other entrance. » Do not let anyone in to do work in your apartment unless you, the landlord or building manager has previously arranged for the work. Likewise, beware of tradespeople

» Do not leave bicycles or other personal items on your balcony, especially if you are on a ground or low floor – thieves can easily climb

who presently reside in the building. Security cameras are commonplace, but in many buildings residents can see who they are buzzing in on a designated channel in their own apartment. But sometimes just oldfashioned precautions, awareness of one’s surroundings, and consideration for others in the community can also help to be effective in creating a safe and secure living environment.

How to prepare

for the unexpected when moving by Dan Hopkins

oving your worldly possessions involves a lot of organization, and if there’s one thing professional movers understand, it’s to expect the unexpected. In fact, that’s a major reason why many people choose to hand over the task of moving to companies that do this every day. Some do-it-yourself moves go well; others end up unnecessarily stressful because those completing the work don’t anticipate potential glitches. Checklists are great, but every single move is different – and nothing beats experience for transferring household goods quickly, safely and efficiently.

For example, if you move in the winter and it’s a snowy, slushy day, how do you protect the floors from water/salt damage at both ends? What about getting large items around hard-to-maneuver corners without marking walls? What if someone gets hurt? Do you know how to pack delicate items like lamp shades and glassware to eliminate shifting and potential breakage during a long haul? What if the truck breaks down or gets into an accident halfway to your new home? Professional movers have resources to draw upon to anticipate and handle any number of unexpected happenings. Training is a great preventative measure – when you shop for a mover, find out if and how the drivers and moving people are trained. Ask whether they have a “Plan B” in case of vehicle problems, and what you can do to be as prepared as possible when the packing/moving begins. As tempting as a DIY move may be, think through the consequences. Are you prepared to deal with the possibility of friends or family members not showing up on moving day due to illness or hurting themselves trying to move heavy items? Do you have a back-up plan for extra items in case you misjudge the size of moving vehicle you need? What about plants? Hazardous liquids?

All of these considerations and more are covered in the training that Two Men and a Truck franchisees take part in at what we call “Stick Men University” (in honour of the company logo). Among the many things they learn is how to maneuver, wrap, pack and load items ranging from big-screen televisions to china cabinets filled with breakables. If you do decide to move yourself, on the Two Men and a Truck website we provide moving tips, a moving checklist and even special things to consider for extremely large items. Give some thought to what might happen along the way and make contingency plans. And be realistic – hiring a professional mover can offer tremendous peace of mind and is money well spent.

Of course, there are specialty items that require an unusual level of care – pianos, pool tables, grandfather clocks, artwork, antiques and the like. The money you think you’ll save by not hiring a professional mover may end up being spent on repairs if these large and valuable pieces are not handled correctly. Worse yet, irreplaceable items may be lost forever. And have you thought through unpacking at the other end? On your first night there, you will need bedding, toiletries, towels and some kitchen items. Do you have a plan that includes being able to find those things easily and quickly?

Gail’s guide to BUILDING A BUDGET B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE

kay Toadies, it’s time to get with the program. Over and over again people tell me they don’t know how to make a budget. It doesn’t matter how many articles they read, how many worksheets they download off the web, how many times they try, they just can’t do it.

36G

Once I started doing the show Til Debt Do Us Part and introduced the magic jars, people headed out to buy their own. But they still couldn’t figure out how much money to put in the bloody things. So I’ve created a step-by-step plan for all those who wish it to follow. Using this plan and Gail’s Interactive Budget Worksheet, (found on gailvazoxlade.com: http://gailvazoxlade. com/resources/interactive_budget_ worksheet.html) you can build a budget that will not only tell you how you’re doing, but also how much to stick in the jars if you’ve decided to live on cash. Okay, here we go. 1 On the budget worksheet, fill in all the amounts under income. You’ll need your “gross” income and your “net” income. If you make $60,000 a year gross, you would enter 60,000/12 (which is $60,000 divided by 12.) Ditto your monthly net income. Careful now, if you’re paid on any other schedule you have to use your lowest monthly income as your base, and use any extra money you receive to boost your planned spending (for things like furniture acquisitions, vacations, and the like). 2 Enter any other sources of income you may have. You must use “monthly” amounts. So if you average $6,000 in annual child support received, you would enter $500 for your monthly amount. If you receive income that is irregular – think annual bonus – do not enter it under income. Why? Well, if you bank on getting it and you don’t you’ll be SOL. Better to use

that money for things like gifts, vacations, and other extras, things you don’t have to pay for if the bonus doesn’t materialize.

1 You can go back and cut expenses. Yup, even up in fixed expenses you can find places to cut like cell phone or cable.

3 Now it’s time for the fixed expenses. Get out your last bank statement(s). Based on what you spent last month, fill in the fixed expenses. Don’t worry if the numbers seem high at first, just put in what you spent last month, based on what went out of your bank account.

2 You can make more money. Work harder, work smarter. Get a second job, a third job, a better job.

4 We’re going to skip down to Saving now. Yep, you have to save. Don’t bother arguing, you have to save. I want you to divide your monthly income by 100 and multiply your answer by five. There, that’s five per cent and is the minimum you should be saving. Ultimately, you need to save 10 per cent, but let’s start with five per cent and work from there. Under “emergency” enter $100. 5 Next we’ll do debt repayment. Add up your monthly debt repayment amounts. Include what you’re spending to repay everything except your mortgage and your car loan/lease. Put it under “debt repayment.” 6 You’re doing great. Now look at the bottom line on the budget – the line that says,“income – expenses.” What do you have left? Whatever it is that’s what you have to work with to budget for your variable expenses. Yup. That’s it. Go ahead and divvy up the money in the various categories under Variable Expenses. If you find you’re left with $20 a month for groceries and you know that just won’t do, then you have two choices:

That’s your budget. Two more things: 1 You’ll see that the budget automatically calculated how much must go into each of your jars each week/month if you plan to live on cash. 2 You’ll also see your percentages automatically calculated. The financial rule of thumb says you shouldn’t spend more than 35 per cent of your net income on housing. (That includes mortgage/ rent, condo fees/maintenance, property tax and utilities.) If you’re spending more than 35 per cent, either you can look for ways to cut back on your housing costs, you can make more money, or you can trim in other areas (like transportation) so you end up balancing at the bottom line. It’s your money. You can do anything you want with it except spend more than you make. Okay, now that you have a budget, you have no excuses. Get out of debt. Live within your means. Make me proud.

ACCOUNTABILITY

benefits tenants and owners

by Ted WhiTehead

hen the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to improve the quality of life of apartment dwellers and staff in the province, we knew that accountability was a key factor in the program’s effectiveness for everyone involved. To ensure objectivity and reporting of the finest quality, we enlisted J.D. Power and Associates to conduct all the building audits for participating firms. Established in 1968, that well-respected third-party independent performance measurement firm conducts unbiased surveys of customer satisfaction, product quality and buyer behaviour in a number of major industries.. The Building Audit component of the CRBP helps to ensure that the property managers and owners of certified buildings are conducting their dayto-day business with good practices and processes in place. In addition it confirms they are in full compliance with the program’s requirements and Standards of Practice. “This is a measurable way to for us to prove that we operate a well-run apartment building,” says Michael Capone, Property Manager for Hollyburn Group of Companies.“The fact that the audits are done by an independent firm should instil even more confidence in potential tenants looking to rent at CRBP-certified residences.”

60G

J.D. Power and Associates uses four methods to verify compliance during the CRBP audit process. • First, their representatives conduct in-depth interviews with building managers and employees about how they perform their jobs looking for tangible evidence where appropriate. • The second method involves auditors looking at the building in person and noting physical features and characteristics. • Third, documents and records are thoroughly examined to ensure that evidence is reviewed to ensure the policies, processes, and procedures are being followed as set out in the program’s requirements and Standards of Practice. • Finally, managers and owners are tested on what they would do in simulated situations they might face while fulfilling their duties. If the building(s) is not in full compliance with the programs requirements, the report will identify the areas that need

to be addressed through a Gap Analysis segment. The auditor will review the report with the owner or manager, and suggest steps to bring the building or community into compliance. Only when buildings prove to be in complete compliance with the CRBP’s Standards of Practice, the auditor recommends certification to FRPO’s Director of Certification. He prepares and forwards the appropriate documents, including a copy of the audit report, for review and final approval by the program’s Governance Committee. Property managers or owners who enroll their buildings in the CRBP exhibit an important sign of leadership and respect for quality assurance for rental housing consumers. Going the extra mile to provide their residents with the CRBP’s quality assurance “seal of approval” demonstrates their commitment to providing a quality product and quality service FRPO is Ontario’s leading advocate for quality rental housing. The CRBP is a win-win initiative that benefits landlords/property managers and tenants alike. To learn more, visit www. crbprogram.org.

Finding the perfect

APARTMENT F By Bonnie Hoy, Bonnie Hoy & Associates

inding the perfect apartment is no easy task. It’s more difficult than even purchasing a car because it’s not one-stop shopping. Studies show that in Canada the average female between 25 and 40 earning $50,000 or more per year looks at seven properties before she makes a decision where to live. Alternatively, men in the same age category look at three. Here are a few things you should consider when trying to find that perfect apartment:

First, sunlight (or the lack thereof) is important, but most people don’t think about it until after they’ve moved in. Typically, we find that shift workers like to face north. The less sun the better and north is the direction to have your bedroom windows if you want the least amount of sunlight. In turn, if you’re an early riser you most likely want your bedroom and living room windows facing east so you get that “hit” of sunshine every morning. If you have lots of plants or if you need lots of sun in your day, you should be facing south. And finally, facing west is often popular for people who get home from work in the early afternoon. Cooking and lounging while basking in sunshine is a plus for a lot of people. Sun is a huge consideration that most people don’t think about until it’s missing at those times when they want or need it. Lack of sun has been known to cause depression, yet we rarely think about it when renting apartments. It seems to be one of those things we take for granted.

70G

The second thing people need to focus on when looking for an apartment is the neighbourhood. It doesn’t matter if you have the greatest space in the world when you have to walk 10 blocks to get a litre of milk and you don’t drive. Let’s face it, the living room space in most apartments comes in one of two shapes, rectangular or L-shaped; therefore, it’s not the apartment that makes the difference, it’s the neighbourhood. Make sure that if you like to run you’re near jogging trails. If you don’t have a car, make sure that your new apartment is close to a bus stop. You get the idea. The last thing we notice when people are looking for apartments is that they often make their decision based on a short-term mindset. We recognize that people move a lot more often than they did in the past, but we can also tell you that it’s next to impossible to save if

you move every year. If at all possible, we strongly recommend you choose a rental where you plan to stay for at least three years. Pick a place that gives you some room to grow. Did you know that the average resident accumulates about 10 per cent in possessions annually? If that’s the case, you need somewhere to store this accumulation – hopefully without having to move. As Canadians we want to be able to save something. Staying put is one of the ways to do it. Happy renting!

Decorating for renters

by Yanic simard

You probablY donâ€™t want to sink a fortune into Your rental, especially if you donâ€™t plan on staying long. However you donâ€™t have to make due with eggshell-painted bare walls either. Even if your living space is temporary, there are many decorating solutions that you can take with you when you go, and make your place feel like home for the time being

78G

If you really can’t stand the neutral wall colour, try asking your landlord if you can paint, even if it’s only one feature wall, if you promise paint it back when you leave. If they say no, there are still plenty of options when it comes to adding personality into your space. Mix and match your furniture pieces, don’t purchase everything at once. My general rule of thumb is to shop at a minimum of three different stores when furnishing your home. You don’t have to buy everything at the same time, shop around and turn your place into a story. If your landlord doesn’t want holes in the walls, you’ve got a few options when it comes to artwork and wall-hung accessories. You can purchase pieces that are free standing, such as my personal favourite, large floor-standing mirrors. Mirrors are a great way to make a room look larger and feel more upscale. Your second option is using stick-on hooks (you can find these at any home improvement store) that are guaranteed not to create surface damage and can hold quite a lot of weight. There is a wide range of sizes and styles available that will suit your undressed-wall’s needs! Create some visual interest in your rental unit by placing a large, floor-to-ceiling, free standing book shelf to cover one of your empty walls and to make use of your vertical space. This can easily be a feature wall, and a great way to show off your belongings. Make sure whatever you place on the shelves are at varying heights. Book shelves aren’t only for books anymore- you can dedicate a shelf for your glassware including vases of different colours and sizes, and you can also purchase baskets to place on a couple shelves that serve as great storage and a great place to hide clutter. Liven up the space with different colours, patterns and textures. When mixing patterns, make sure the scales differ, for example, match a large-scale floral with a smallscale stripe. You can bring in these elements in varying ways. Throw cushions, area rugs, bedding and upholstery are just a few options. Be creative and let your style shine through. You may feel frustrated at first when it comes to decorating your rental unit. No paint, no holes and no major changes doesn’t mean no style. Weather you are staying for the short-term or the long-run; you can still make your rental an inviting, warm and cozy place to call home.

Minto

Richgrove Village for modern living

into’s newest community is located at Martin Grove and Eglinton, comprised of three towers, 620 Martin Grove, 7 and 21 Richgrove. Together they make up the vibrant community of Richgrove Village. The tower at 620 Martin Grove offers the opportunity to live nestled into a private modern enclave. Having been constructed in 2011, it is an ideal combination of location and modern, condo-like living. The area is key for those that work in the west end, putting residents at easy access to all of North York, Etobicoke, Mississauga and Vaughan. Frequent flyers will find the airport to be a short trip, while Highways 401 and 427 offer convenient access across the GTA. Public transit also adds mass accessibility, with a bus service virtually stopping at the front door. Those that want a lifestyle that offers a great mix of urban convenience but a more tranquil, suburban setting will truly appreciate the location which offers plenty of parks with greenspace and mature trees while also offering a great mix of businesses and services in the neighbourhood. Family-friendly amenities like schools and community centres are also close to home. Richgrove Village offers a great selection of luxurious one-bedroom+den and one-bedroom penthouses located on the top three floors of 620 Martin Grove. These contemporary suites offer stylish features such as balconies and openconcept layouts, some with in-suite laundry.

82G

Modern innovation in these suites provide residents with additional comforts. Barrier-free washrooms are a model of function, and accommodate residents of varying levels of need and mobility. Green and environmentally sustainable initiatives include elements like Compact Fluorescent lighting to reduce energy consumption. Suites offer air conditioning and individual Heat Recovery Ventilators which draw air in directly from the exterior which in essence means each apartment is sealed, eliminating odour transfer from other suites or the hallways, and providing residents with fresh air that hasn’t been constantly recirculated. The lifestyle at Richgrove Village goes beyond the suite door. The furnished and decorated lobby offers residents a great setting to welcome them home or to linger in while awaiting guests or a ride. A library and card room, featuring a computer niche, provides the ideal place to curl up with a good book or get a games night going with friends and neighbours.

A multi-purpose/party room with a kitchen, dining area and seating offers the option of entertaining in your home without limiting the guest list, ideal for celebrating special occasions. The laundry facilities are modern and new, providing a lounge for those waiting on the wash. The outdoor lounge provides a peaceful retreat to get outside and enjoy the surrounding panoramic views. And this pet-friendly building means your four-legged friends and fur-babies will be right at home too. While these amenities are for the 620 Martin Grove upper tower residents’ exclusive use, there is also a pool at 7 and 21 Richgrove that is for the use and enjoyment of all residents at Richgrove Village. The onsite Resident Service Centre is open daily and Resident Managers teams are available to assist residents at all times. For information on living at Minto’s luxurious Richgrove Village at 620 Martin Grove, visit minto.com or call 416-614-7368.

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

hugh’s Pear and aLmond cake directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. Peel, core and quarter the pears. Melt the butter in a frying pan large enough to take all the pear pieces, over a medium high heat. When it’s bubbling, add the sugar and stir gently until it has dissolved into the butter. Add the pears and cook gently, turning once or twice, until they have softened and are starting to get a lovely golden colour, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Now for the cakey bit. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour with each to stop the mix curdling. Combine the remaining flour, the ground almonds and the cinnamon, and fold into the mixture. Scrape into the prepared tin. Arrange the pears on top and pour on any buttery juices left in the pan.

here is something very warm and inviting about the sweet buttery aroma of a home-made cakey confection as it comes out from the oven. It’s a seductive smell that is pretty hard to resist, so why bother? As Oscar Wilde said, “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it!” And so I did, and made this delicious pear and almond cake for guests this past weekend, inspired by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s recipe from his River Cottage Everyday Cookbook. The pears are gently sautéed in butter and sugar then added to a eggy batter of ground almonds and wholemeal flour, poured into a buttered springform tin, then baked for about 40 minutes. The combination of pears and almonds bring a luscious texture to this moist and sticky, but not too sweet, pear-fect pud!

Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Stand the cake in its tin on a wire rack to cool for a few minutes, then release the tin. Serve the cake warm with clotted or whipped cream – or cold. This recipe is cakewalk. Lovely sticky and exciting. Pear-fect!

ingredients serves 8 › 10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

For the caramelised pears:

› ½ cup caster sugar

› 3 bosc pears, reasonably firm, but not rock hard

› 2 medium eggs

› 2 tbsp unsalted butter

› 5 tbsp wholemeal self raising flour (or all purpose with 1 tsp baking powder plus a pinch of salt)

› 1 tbsp granulated sugar

› 5 tbsp ground almonds › ¼ tsp cinnamon

DRESS YOUR WINDOWS

with natural flair “Shades made from natural materials such as wood and bamboo have been available, and popular, for quite a while,” says Mary Dobson, spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada and also a guest expert on CityLine. “This fall, we are launching a really beautiful collection that offers a far wider choice of colours and textures.” As a decorator, I find these harvested materials very easy to work with. They seem to blend naturally into so many colour schemes and harmonize with almost any style. The question is – can a woven bamboo and jute fabric do as good a job of filtering light and screening the window as standard materials?

atural materials are very much at home these days. Field stone hearths, wooden parquet, cork floor tiles, wicker furniture, driftwood and sea glass come to mind. So, how about using natural materials to dress up your windows?

“Yes, the fabric may be woven from jute, bamboo, reeds and other grasses, but where necessary, a liner is incorporated to filter light and ensure privacy, so that performance is similar to other types of shades,” says Mike Muyal, the director of marketing at Levolor. .“The light filtering or black out is totally your choice. Also, natural shades can be equipped with advanced operating features such as top down/bottom up.” Although it is possible to review new products and colours and options online, Mary Dobson strongly recommends working through an independent retailer, or selected home-improvement retailers, whose experienced decorators will help ensure a perfect fit and hasslefree installation. Take a look at the many colours and textures of natural shades at www. levolor.ca. NC

quicktips

If you don’t use it,

it’s time to lose it by HELLEN BUTTIGIEG THERE ARE MANY CHARITIES THAT WILL TAKE THINGS

you no longer need so don’t hold onto items just because you have them. If they’re of no use to you it’s time they stopped taking up your space and moved on to a home where they’re needed. Sell them online or garage sale them if you have the time. The money you earn can go towards new purchases once you’ve carved out some space! GET A JUMP-START ON DE-CLUTTERING Books collecting dust? Although I keep a collection of books that I often re-read or refer back to, I make it a habit to use the one-in/one-out rule. I love books and my house would be overrun with them if I didn’t begin this habit a long time ago. Any time I’m tempted to buy a new book, I remind myself that if I do, I will have to let one go. This encourages me to borrow books from the library when possible. I often get questions about what to do with books that are no longer used and are taking up space. Donate books in good condition to your local library (where you can visit them), hospitals or schools. There is even a great program that sends books to troops Books for Soldiers BooksForSoldiers.com. Toy toss Put aside time with the kids to go through their old toys and decide what they want to donate. Remind them they need to make space if they want new toys. Drive to the charity together and drop off the toys. Remind the kids how kind and giving their gesture was and that other less fortunate children will truly appreciate their donation. It’s never too early to start teaching children this valuable practice. Clean out storage If your garage or storage space is cluttered, it’s a good time to tackle it. Empty out the entire area, or work in sections (depending on the amount of clutter and the amount of time you have to clear it). Place like items together in categories: car care, tools, sporting, etc. Create a pile for things you no longer need or want. Heavy duty shelving units and clear bins work great for storing these items within their categories – don’t forget to label. Brackets and hooks work for large items like ladders and bikes. Don’t forget to take the discarded items to the dump if they cannot be sold or donated, and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from a garage you can actually park your car in or storage you can actually use!

TRN04_SectionA_64pg.indd 30

Have you been putting off your garage sale? Have you been storing items for years with the intention of having a garage sale, but never get around to it? Pull out your calendar today and book a definite date to have it. Blocking the time now increases the likelihood of following through with it later. Another option is to forgo the garage sale entirely and donate these items instead. It takes several days to orchestrate a successful garage sale; determine whether the money you’ll make is worth the time and energy it will take. After all, you can always get more money but you can never replace lost time. Has your clutter expired? If you can’t quite bring yourself to let go of certain items, even though you aren’t using them, consider packing them in a box and writing a ‘best before’ date on it six months away. Put this date on your calendar as a reminder. If you don’t go into that box again before the expiry date, donate it to charity without opening it again. This provides you with a cooling-off period, making it easier to detach. Out with the old, in with the new Is your outdated home office equipment slowing you down? Maybe it’s time to upgrade or replace it. Or, have you replaced your equipment but kept the old laptop or printer ‘just in case?’ Take back your space and give your office a fresh start by letting go of the old. Do this and I predict your productivity will increase in the years ahead! Having trouble deciding? Clutter is the result of postponed decisions. When you are de-cluttering, make the keep/toss/donate decisions easier by asking yourself whether the item serves a purpose or adds beauty or meaning to your life. Getting organized is not about getting rid of all your stuff, it’s about honouring what truly serves you and letting go of what’s just taking up space. If you don’t love it or use it, it’s time to lose it.

Secrets to stretching

THE FAMILY BUDGET Setting up for financial success this year can be easier than people think and to prove it, Sandra has developed four easy ways to save: No cash allowance r Try using an incentive based allowance system for the kids rather than giving cash. A non-cash reward might be time in front of the TV, computer, video game system or staying up late. Shop in your kitchen first r The less time you spend in the grocery store the less you spend. Try using new recipe search engines that find recipes you can make with only the ingredients you have at home. Trust me; you have the ingredients for at least three meals in your home right now. Mom to mom exchange r Tap into the network of your friends and family. Many families outgrow clothing, furniture and other items for the home. Try exchanging items you don’t use anymore with a mom who can use them and in exchange you receive items you need. This can be a great way to get items for the family while saving money.

o one knows how straining recent holiday expenses can be on the family financials better than Sandra Hanna, a ‘mom-conomist’ and the cofounder and CEO of Canadian-based Smartcookies.com.

TRN04_SectionA_64pg.indd 40

Embrace the cold r When the weather is cold outside, try cold water inside. Laundry detergents like Tide Coldwater are specifically designed to work in cold water conditions tackling the most challenging stains and odours. Washing with this detergent not only leaves you with fresh, clean clothes, it can save you money and energy costs. So consider turning down the dial next time you’re doing laundry. More information is available online at tide.ca. NC

Treat your date

TO DINNER AT HOME

SHRIMP, EGG AND ASPARAGUS STIR FRY SERVES: 4 PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES COOK TIME: 10 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 20 MINUTES INGREDIENTS: 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil 2 cups (500 mL) asparagus pieces, cut into 1” lengths 1 lb (500 g) peeled medium-sized shrimp, thawed 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 jar (355 mL) VH Szechuan Stir-Fry Sauce or the General Tao Stir-Fry Sauce ½ cup (125 mL) finely sliced green onions

riday night dinner dates and Saturdays at the movies are not only heavy on the wallet but a fling of the past. Why not break out of the typical date night routine and wow your partner with a simple and delicious home-cooked meal?

With just a handful of ingredients, you can create an impressive dish bursting with exciting flavours. For a quick, stress-free dinner, try this simple stir-fry recipe below. The tangy Asian-inspired sauce mixed with fresh vegetables will make you swear off takeout for good.

TRN04_SectionA_64pg.indd 46

½ lb (250 g) rice noodles, cooked as directed on package

DIRECTIONS: 1. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add asparagus and stir-fry for 4 minutes; add shrimp and cook while stirring for three minutes. 2. Lower heat, add eggs and let set slightly without stirring, about one minute. Break up eggs with spatula, pour in the Stir-Fry Sauce, green onions and stir to heat the mixture through, another two minutes. Serve on cooked rice or noodles. Tip: To avoid overcooking the shrimp, make sure they are still undercooked before adding the eggs. NC

ways to create a warmer, HOSPITABLE HOME

une Cleaver, Bree Hodge of Desperate Housewives, and stay-at-home dad Cameron from Modern Family are all known for creating a welcoming home. But how do they do it? Sally Morse, director of creative services for Hunter Douglas, shares some secrets for making a home truly a warm, hospitable place. Clear the Clutter

Put guests and family alike at ease in space that has been tidied, one area at a time. Throw away what is not needed and store the rest. After a little work, the result is a clutter-free home that feng shui experts agree invites happiness and growth.

Let In the Light It is well known that lighting can set the mood in any space – it can increase energy and elevate your mood. To ensure

TRN04_SectionA_64pg.indd 54

an upbeat home that is also well lit, try Silhouette window shadings, now available with the LiteRise cordless lifting system. They feature soft fabric vanes suspended between sheer panels. The vanes rotate for varying degrees of light control, and when closed, total privacy. The sheers diffuse and filter light beautifully, creating a warm and welcoming glow all can enjoy.

Create a Fragrant Foyer An often-shared childhood memory is visiting a beloved family member where the aroma of cookies baking or a delicious dinner in the oven welcomed you into the space. You can do the same in your own home, minus the work. To create an inviting first impression without being kept in the kitchen, simply place a vanilla, caramel or floral diffuser by the front door.

Add Signature Tasty Treats Along with adding a fragrant aroma to keep visitors coming back, it doesn’t

hurt to also offer a signature sweet. Place candy dishes around the home filled with wrapped confections or fill a clear cookie jar in the kitchen with the family’s favourite baked goods. For a happy and healthy home, keep a basket of fruit out for anyone to grab-on-the-go.

Design a Balanced and Personalized Décor The ultimate host or hostess knows one’s home décor can bring about harmony. To create a soothing interior, try decorating with a base of neutrals, only using pops of bold colours on pillows and other decorative accents. Win over family and friends by following a few simple steps to create a welcoming home not only they, but you, will enjoy spending time in.

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

TRN04_SectionA_64pg.indd 59

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€?

Toronto Unfurnished

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.

5 tips for decorating

small spaces by LISA CANNING

SMALL SPACES ARE MORE AND MORE COMMON,

and making these spaces work can be a challenge. With careful space planning and ingenious multi-functional products, you can have all the function and style in any square footage. TIP #1: START WITH A CONDO-SIZED SOFA The sofa is often a great place to start when planning a small space, as it usually takes up the most mass, and it is also the easiest piece to purchase incorrectly. A sofa that is too large in a given space can feel cumbersome. Conversely, a sofa that is too small can feel like dollhouse furniture. Luckily, many retailers make it easier to make the right choice by carrying apartment-sized, or condo-appropriate pieces, which are often smaller-scale translations of their most popular lines. And of course, many apartment/condo-sized sofas can also be purchased with a sofa bed option to give you the flexibility of creating a guest room in your small space. TIP #2: USE CLEAR FURNITURE What’s great about furniture made out of glass or acrylic is that it doesn’t take up much visual space. A ghost chair or a waterfall table will give you an instant modern update and provide great function while keeping the space feeling light. In spaces that have gorgeous large windows, place pieces that are clear directly in front, since they won’t obstruct the view. TIP #3: WALL-MOUNTED LIGHTING A layered lighting plan is something I always recommend to clients, but in a small space this approach is especially advantageous. Rather than opting for a floor lamp with mass, weight and that takes up floor area, sconces give you ambient lighting while saving space. I love the architectural detail sconces provide and often use them on either end of a gallery wall or sofa.

TRN04_SectionA_64pg.indd 64

TIP #4: WORK WITH PIECES THAT ARE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL In a space that might be too small for a home office, or a formal dining room, I have some great innovative products to share. The first is the Functional Coffee Table from BoConcept. At first glance, it looks like a sleek, minimal coffee table. But with an easy lift, it reveals a desk-height table and ample storage. Storage will always be an issue in small spaces, so anything that will serve a function and provide storage is a great addition. Another incredible product on the market is the Lacuna table by VNO Designs. This innovative product begins as a piece of customizable art on the wall. With the release of a latch, the art piece lowers to reveal a concealed leg and becomes a dining table for five. For people who don’t formally entertain often, or for those living in really limited space, this is a unique space-saving solution. TIP #5: WORK WITH SMART STORAGE SYSTEMS Great interior storage is just as important as utilizing multi-functional storage. Drawer dividers, shelf dividers and small storage boxes are great tools to use to increase your storage space. The more levels you can create within a drawer, the more items can be stored and easily found. I love using small stackable, acrylic storage compartments to divide my drawers. Style doesn’t stop at the exterior of a piece – allow your furniture to function at its best by investing in interior organization.

I LIKE, I TWEET, I PIN, I DO David’s Bridal Poll reveals rising use of social media for Canadian weddings THE RULES OF WEDDING ETIQUETTE ARE QUICKLY CHANGING AS MORE COUPLES ARE USING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ANNOUNCING, planning, and celebrating weddings, according to a David’s Bridal poll of 1,262 Canadian brides released recently. With a quarter of those surveyed getting engaged over the holidays (28 per cent), weddings seem ready-made for social media sharing – or oversharing, depending on how you look at it – and we may be seeing more couples logging into Facebook from the ceremony, reception or honeymoon.

tools and apps to not only plan their big day, but are also integrating it into their wedding.”

“Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times for a couple, and it’s only natural that some brides want to share the news and all the details with their friends, family and followers via social media channels,” said Victoria Rucks, district manager at David’s Bridal Canada.“While some brides are more private, our poll shows that social media may be turning a traditional wedding on its head as many use various

Ms. Rucks added,“In David’s Bridal stores across the country, we are seeing more of our brides seeking social tools for collaboration and inspiration so they can create a personalized wedding

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 68

With 45 per cent of couples now setting up both special wedding sites and online registries, it’s clear that social media is valuable to those polled. Newly-engaged brides are also turning to social media to get inspired with wedding ideas (62 per cent), source vendors via Facebook (43 per cent), download wedding planning apps (35 per cent) and manage RSVPs online (24 per cent).

celebration. Our brand promise begins with helping Canadian brides find the dress of their dreams and it continues with providing a variety of digital tools that support them with everything from budgeting, to sharing photos on Pinterest, to assigning tasks to the bridal party – all while staying connected with friends and family.”

Top Trends for Social Brides Aside from helping to plan their weddings, David’s Bridal has pulled together the top trends for how today’s Canadian brides are using social media for everything after saying “yes” until they say,“I do.” The new norm for announcing engagements: When asked about how to share the news of their engagement, the majority of Canadian brides think it is okay to announce via Facebook (68 per cent), email (67 per cent) or text (59 per cent), but they draw the line at Twitter and Instagram as approximately six in 10 thought it was tacky to announce using these media sources. Couples stay online on their Wedding Day: While the majority of brides don’t plan on logging into their social networks on their wedding day (58 per cent), a whopping one in five (21 per cent) plans on staying connected and sharing their news with everyone on the big day. The New Honeymoon: A honeymoon retreat may no longer be a time to disconnect from the world. Surprisingly, one-third of brides plan on logging into their networks during their time away and one in five plans to share status updates. Almost half the brides (43 per cent) are sharing photos of their honeymoons online. Brides update their Facebook status quickly: While only five per cent of brides updated their Facebook

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 69

relationship statuses within minutes of saying yes to their fiancés, nearly one in five (18 per cent) did so within hours of getting engaged and another 15 per cent updated the day after. The large majority (43 per cent) updated their status within the week. At the same time, over one third (36 per cent) of newlyweds updated their relationship status on Facebook the day after their wedding. Over half (52 per cent) did so within the week of saying,“I do.” Pinterest is on the rise: While blogs and wedding sites are the most valuable tools for brides as almost all (91 per cent) went online to these sites after getting engaged, Pinterest seems to be an increasingly important resource for Canadians brides. When planning their nuptials 42 per cent pinned photos on wedding boards and 48 per cent used Pinterest sharing boards Sharing the love – and photos: The large majority of brides are anxious to share wedding photos on Facebook, with almost eight out of 10 (79 per cent) planning to do so and 43 per cent are planning on posting honeymoon photos. Other plans for sharing the love include informing guests of wedding registry information (one in five respondents), sharing wedding inspirations (13 per cent) and showcasing the wedding video (11 per cent). Tradition rules for invitations: Brides still like the formality of wedding invitations as almost one in four thinks paper invitations are necessary for all wedding activities. Another half of Canadian brides (47 per cent) have mixed feelings about using paperless invitations. They believe it’s okay for wedding-related activities, like showers and parties, but not for the actual wedding. Only 15 per cent of respondents thought it was totally fine to go completely electronic.

Future potential of technology at weddings: Live streaming of the wedding may be a rising trend for Canadian weddings. While only nine per cent responded that they streamed their wedding to have everyone involved, 30 per cent are open to the idea.You may also see a Twitter station at your next reception, as 14 per cent of respondents said they wished they knew about it or thought of it before. In the coming years, using these technological tools may continue to grow among brides.

About David’s Bridal: With over 60 years of experience dressing women of all ages for life’s special occasions, David’s Bridal understands the importance of providing brides-to-be with a vast selection of exquisitely crafted bridal gowns and bridal party dresses.

PUTTING TOGETHER

the perfect guest room W hat to expect when you’re expecting…houseguests. The key to making a lasting impression on your guests is to provide all the comforts you would expect to find at home, but with a personal touch. As the proverb goes, “a home without guests is a home without soul“, so as the host, return the favour by filling your guest room with some of that soul. Sally Morse, director of creative services for window fashions company Hunter Douglas, offers the following tips on guest room décor:

STYLE LIKE A PRO BY YANIC SIMARD

nce you’ve painted the walls and brought in all of your beautiful pieces of furniture to your newly designed room, and you think it’s time to sit down and enjoy you’re space – think again! Accessorizing is the next, most important and final step. Accessorizing is like putting the cherry on the sundae – it doesn’t look (or taste!) as good until you’ve done it! 01 FRESH FLOWERS You can never have too many fresh flowers in your home. It’s especially nice to purchase them when you’re expecting company. Flowers as simple as white tulips can cheer up any room, and they’ll give your home a nice scent too. You can also make your own floral arrangements by combining tall branches and a few stems of in season flowers, such as lilacs.

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 84

02 PILLOWS If your furniture is feeling bare and bland, adding some pops of colour and comfort is made easy with a few toss cushions. Throw pillows are a great way to experiment with pattern and colour, and are easy to change when you’re ready for something new. 03 ENHANCING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Even the most beautiful pieces of furniture need to be decorated to feel more warm and inviting, for example a foyer console table. To warm up the look, you can decorate the underneath area. Try sliding in two small ottomans or stools, and decorating the tops of them. Decorate with books and small accessories like trays and boxes. Decorate the top of the console too with coordinating accent pieces.

2/15/13 3:39:21 PM

04 TEX TURE Playing with texture is a very important trick when it comes to a well-decorated space. It’s not only about experimenting with different fabrics, but different finishes as well. A room that has varying textures is more interesting, and will help take the eye around the room rather than having it focus on one spot. I like to bring wood, metal, glass and painted pieces all together in one space. 05 MID-CENTURY PIECES I feel like every room should have at least one midcentury piece of furniture in it. I like when rooms look like they’ve taken years to put together, even if they haven’t. In your living room you can have a modular sofa, but take the décor up a notch by bringing in one or two Chiavari chairs. 06 THE COLOUR BLUE You can never go wrong when accessorizing if you stick with a blue colour pallet. Keep it simple and stay monochromatic, using different as many shades of it as you want.

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 85

2/15/13 3:39:21 PM

stylefile

07 HEIGHTS When styling, be sure that the pieces you are using come in varying heights. Having everything at the same level creates less interest. 08 ART WORK When it comes to artwork, people often step away because they are unsure of how to position it on the walls. The general rule of thumb is that the middle of the picture should be at eye level. Artwork should be hung no more than seven to 10 inches above a table, and five to eight inches above a sofa. If you’re still not confident, you can always rest your artwork on a surface and have it lean up against the wall. If you’ve got a lot of small art pieces, consider grouping them together. If you’ve got large pieces, they should be hung separately. 09 MIRRORS Adding mirrors to any décor is a great way to finish off a room. Mirrors make the room appear larger, reflect light and add a hint of sparkle to the space. The larger the mirror, the greater the affect will be. 10 LIGHTING Lighting can always make or break the overall ambience or impact the décor in a room. Adjustable lights on a dimmer switch are always a good option because they can be positioned to highlight or draw the eye away from a particular area. A dimmer switch is a great added feature, helping set the mood that you are trying to achieve without having to make it a full-time commitment. SOME HELPFUL TIPS: » Accessorizing in groupings and in odd numbers if often a safe bet when decorating. » Antique shops are great when shopping to find that oneof-a-kind accessory that your space is calling for. » Don’t buy all of your accessories in one place. Shop at a minimum of three different places.

oming up with a significant amount of cash in order to make a lump sum contribution to your RRSP can be difficult. Financial planning experts suggest that monthly instalments, withdrawn automatically from your bank account, may be less financially painful and give you additional advantages.

According to Aurele Courcelles, the director of tax and estate planning at Investors Group, monthly preauthorized contributions allow you to take advantage of the rises and falls of the stock market through dollar-cost averaging while enforcing the personal savings discipline we wish we had on our own. â€œComing up with a significant chunk of cash before the RRSP contribution deadline can be difficult,â€? says Courcelles. â€œSetting up a regular payment plan with an amount that you can afford will not only ensure that the money makes its way into your retirement savings, but also that you benefit from the compound investment returns.â€? He provides the following example: t :PV TFU VQ B SFHVMBS JOWFTUNFOU QMBO UP JOWFTU BO amount you can afford â€“ $250 into your RRSP on the first of every month. t "U B DPNQPVOE BOOVBM SFUVSO PG QFS DFOU ZPV MM have $278,000 of pre-tax assets after 30 years. t *G ZPV XBJU VOUJM UIF FOE PG FBDI ZFBS BOE JOWFTU JO B MVNQ TVN ZPV MM IBWF POMZ t #Z 1"$ JOH FBDI NPOUI ZPV BEE QPUFOUJBMMZ UP ZPVS SFUJSFNFOU GVOE o BOE JU EPFTO U cost you an extra penny.

The illustration ignores the tax savings produced by the tax deductible RRSP contributions. i:PVS SFHVMBS 1"$ DPOUSJCVUJPOT HFOFSBUF B tax benefit for the current tax year and you immediately start enjoying long-term tax-deferred appreciation,â€?

LIFTING TIPS Bend your knees to lift with ease

rom moving furniture at home to picking up boxes at work, lifting correctly is key to preventing injury.

Albertaâ€™s chiropractors offer the following tips for lifting safely and reducing the risk of back injury:

1 2 3 4 5

Stand close to the load to be lifted. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and keep your back straight. Squat down to the level of the object and test the weight of the load. Ask for help if the load is too heavy or awkward.

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 92

6 7 8 9 10

Use your leg and arm muscles, not your back, to smoothly and slowly lift the load. Try not to jerk when lifting. Keep the load close to your body. Pivot to turn in the direction you wish to move. Avoid twisting your body while turning and carrying the load. Bend your knees and slowly lower the load to its new location. NC

THE MARRIAGE MERGE:

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR COMBINING YOUR LIVES December 31 of the year for which you’re filing taxes, you qualify as having been married for the entire year. Talk about bills. As much as you can count on taxes, you can also count on bills. Whether they’re monthly, quarterly or annually issued, you need to figure out who will take care of which bills and where the money will come from. Setting up autopay can lessen the bill-paying chore list. You should also make sure that both spouses’ names are on the appropriate accounts. Even if you use autopay, it’s important to check in on your accounts to make sure that nothing is going wrong.

YOUR WEDDING IS SURE TO BE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE, but marriage stretches well beyond the big day. Merging your lives as spouses starts even before you say your “I do’s” and will require some effort and patience – which will be good practice for your future life together. The technical side of getting married can be a little confusing, so seeking advice from friends and family is a good idea. However, there will be some questions that might need professional advice, so don’t be afraid to consult the pros when necessary. As you start your journey through life together, keep these key tasks in mind to make sure you’re well prepared. Discuss your finances. Having an open and honest discussion with your fiancé about finances is very important, and it should include the bad with the good. Because you’re getting married, you’ll be with each other through thick and thin, so having a forthright conversation about money ahead of time is a good idea. If you have debt, discuss how much and how you’ll pay it off, but you’ll also need to talk about things like creating joint accounts, as well as how and whether you want to divide or share money. Understanding your credit portfolio and status as well as protecting against identity theft should also be part of the discussion and credit monitoring products like the Equifax Credit Watch enables each person to see and receive notifications when changes occur to their credit files, helping to keep track of potential impacts to their credit histories while detecting potential identity fraud. Prep for taxes. Married couples file taxes jointly. Seek the advice of a tax preparer or financial adviser who can help you understand the advantages and disadvantages and the adjustments you’ll need to make to prepare for tax time. Keep in mind that if you’re married before

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 96

Make decisions about moving. If you’re living separately prior to getting married, you’ll need to decide which home you’ll live in. For some couples this might mean one giving up an apartment or going apartment hunting to find a new place to start your lives together. When you’re discussing homes and moving, talk about how your feelings regarding moving away from your current home city, in case you’re ever offered a job transfer opportunity. Get insurance in order. Meet with your insurance agent or agents to go over your current plans and add your spouse to them. There may be advantages to using one insurer for all of your policies, so if you are currently with different insurers, speak to each to see where you’ll get the best deal. You should also explore your options for benefits and extended health plans – one spouse’s employer might offer a better plan than the other. Taking care of these practical financial tasks might seem less than exciting compared to the thrill of your wedding day, but getting them done right is important. Since finances are a notorious source of stress, having a clear understanding with your spouse will ensure that you have a good foundation for your marriage. For more information on tools to monitor your credit and help protect against identity theft, go to www.equifax.com. ARA

TOP 10 HOME SAFETY TIPS FOR SNOWBIRDS

Leave for the sun worry-free

hen Snowbirds finally make their way down south for their annual vacation away from our brutal Canadian winters the last thing they need to worry about is the safety of their home.

According to Patrice De Luca, vice president of marketing and business development for Reliance Protectron Security Services, there are several key steps Snowbirds should take to ensure peace of mind when away from home. The following Protectron home safety tips for snowbirds can help you plan important safety measures before your departure: 1. Suspend your newspaper and mail delivery; or have a neighbour collect them for you. 2. Make sure your home looks lived in. Try not to draw the window treatments in every window, leave it looking somewhat natural. 3. Have someone routinely shovel the walk, clear your car off if it snows, or park their car in your driveway or parking spot if you’re taking yours. 4. Don’t forget garbage collection day. Ask a neighbour to put a bag of garbage at your curb on garbage day so not to tip off burglars.

balcony, make sure the door is secure. For additional security, place a bar or stick of wood in the lower track of your sliding doors or windows.

your security system includes a loud inside alarm, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas.

8. Turn off the water-main and unplug the major appliances as an added precaution and to save on power consumption.

De Luca says the latest technology in security systems can now allow the monitoring of your home from a distance by wireless transmission (SkyGARD) if you have a cell phone as your primary line for example. The alarm system is linked to a remote monitoring centre that protects your home 24 hours a day against burglars, fire, carbon monoxide poisoning and floods by supervising the temperature, electrical system and point of entries of your home.

9. Inform a neighbor when you’re leaving and returning, and ask them to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Leave them a phone number where you can be reached, and a spare set of your keys in case of an emergency.

6. Look into installing motion sensor lights outside to help deter a burglar. Consider installing them in front and back.

10. Consider investing in a home security system. A home security system is a very effective deterrent. When looking for their targets, thieves usually select an unoccupied home with the easiest access. Why not make it difficult for them. A home protected by a monitored security system is less susceptible to a break in than

7. Ensure that all your doors and windows are locked and secure. Don’t forget about the

one without a system. Security system decals and signs are also an effective deterrent. Make sure

5. Set your lights on timers, in various rooms. With some timers, the lights go on and off at different times each day, which means a burglar can’t pick up on a pattern.

You can thrive IN FEBRUARY, not just survive

ebruary is a short month, but it can seem endless during a long, dark winter. By this time of year many winter-fatigued Canadians feel they need to get away to a sunny destination, but unfortunately heading south is not an option for all. However, there are some healthy ideas you can add to your dayto-day routine that will help you beat the last few weeks of old man winter.

have such low readings that they don’t have enough for good bone health. Vitamin D, an essential mineral, contributes to many health benefits and promotes mood enhancement. While it has very few natural sources, it is a readily accessible, safe and effective and available at any natural health food store. You can choose between drops or tablets. The Canadian Health Food Association has a valuable tool online at chfa.ca that will direct you to your local health food store for more information.

“Blustery weather and lack of sunlight can take a toll on us mentally and physically,” says Helen Sherrard, president of the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA). “It’s important to consider all the options that can give us that much needed boost of health and happiness at this time of year.”

Be a lightweight – The mind-body connection is a strong one. It may not be obvious, but many people gradually become less active, and possibly heavier, as winter lumbers on. When it is warm and sunny we don’t mind walking to the store or going to the gym three to four times per week. But this time of year it seems easier to come up with excuses and reasons for hibernating inside. Starting may be hard, but exercise of any kind is beneficial, helping to lower blood pressure and maintain a healthy body weight. It also lessens anxiety and depression symptoms while encouraging a sense of wellbeing – making you “feel lighter” in body and spirit.

Here are CHFA’s top three ways to help you thrive: Shine your light - Craving carbs, feeling fatigued, sleeping too much, irritability and anxiety are just a few symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), the major depressive episode that follows seasonal patterns. Research shows that three per cent of Canadians suffer from cases of SAD that affect their ability to cope. Depending on the severity, there are many treatment options available. One option is light therapy which involves sitting in front of an approved device with a 10,000 lux bright light for 30 minutes every morning. Lux refers to the intensity of light. By comparison a sunny day is 50,000 lux, regular indoor light is 100 lux. Light therapy is effective because it can reset the internal body clock, improving sleep patterns and mental wellbeing. “D”-light yourself - Statistics Canada finds that two-thirds of the population has vitamin D levels below the amounts associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases such as cancer; and one in 10 people

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 106

“While some may be counting down the days until February is over, consider using this time as a great opportunity to observe how you’re feeling physically and mentally, and then take action to do what’s necessary to function at your best, ”says Sherrard. NC

The truth about maintaining a healthy nutrition level

THIS WINTER IS JUST PEACHY

inter signals a time when finding local, fresh fruit becomes increasingly limited and more expensive. How can you ensure you and your family are still getting all the necessary essential nutrients?

A great option is canned fruits like canned California cling peaches. They are not only nutritious, but a versatile addition to many recipes. We often associate them with dessert, but canned peaches also provide a nutritious boost in salads, appetizers and main dishes.

TRN04_SectionB_48pgs.indd 108

Here are some common myths: Myth: Canned peaches are less nutritious than fresh peaches. Fact: Canned peaches are more nutritious than their fresh and frozen counterparts. A study at Oregon State University found in comparison to fresh peaches, canned peaches levels of vitamin C were 3.5 times higher; they had 10 times more folic acid and 1.5 times more antioxidants. California cling peaches are picked at the peak of ripeness and canned within hours allowing them to retain their high nutrient levels throughout their canned life.

have no added sugar in the juice or

Myth: Canned peaches are full of sugar. Fact: Canned California cling peaches

water that they are packed in, other than the natural sugar in the raw product. Myth: Canned peaches lose their flavour and colour through the canning process. Fact: Canned peaches retain their flavour, colour and firmness even when cooked or baked in entrees, appetizers or desserts. To learn more about canned peaches visit www.calclingpeach.ca. NC
