EDITORS’ NOTES

d

id you know that once you sign a lease and move into your new digs that an inspection is in order? Landlords cannot hold tenants responsible for normal wear and tear, however tenants are expected to fix damage such as stained broadloom and damaged walls or ceilings when they depart. Since the question of who did the damage may come into play at some point during your occupancy, inspecting the condition of the premises on move-in day is a very important part of the rental process. Be thorough and document everything you notice. The tenant and the landlord should inspect the rental premises together. In some provinces, an inspection report is required by law. This should be a formalized process by which both the landlord and tenant end up with a signed agreement and both parties receive copies of the signed inspection sheet. During your inspection, you’ll review many aspects of the home. Be sure the safety features, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, are included in the inspection too. It’s the law to have working detectors in the home. Be sure to keep them in working order during your stay by testing their operation regularly. To protect yourself from unexpected expenses at the end of your term as a tenant, ask if a proper inspection process is part of the leasing agreement before you sign the agreement. Also be sure to go through the inspection process before you take occupancy of your new digs. Doing a formal inspection now could save you time and money in the future.

t

he fact is, it’s not an easy market for renters. There’s a lack of great rental opportunity. While condos continue to go up in rapid succession, new apartment buildings are few and far between. With a growing population, most major urban centres are finding the same bottom line, historically low vacancy rates. What does that mean for you? It means that there are less options and more competition. When landlords and property managers have a vacancy they often have a waitlist to go to and multiple applications for a single apartment. If there’s a specific community you’d like to live in, it would be to your advantage to go in for a visit and get yourself on that waitlist. It may be word of mouth that helps you find that elusive vacancy – telling friends, classmates and colleagues that you’re apartment hunting may give you some leads that you’d otherwise never unearth. One of the best sources is a magazine – Renters Guide – where our long-standing relationship with landlords and property management companies brings the advertisement of availabilities, allowing you to zero in on available apartments in the right location, size and budget. Low vacancy rates also mean that you’ve got to be prepared and have the appearance of a good tenant. Have your finances in order, references at the ready and your best foot forward when you go in. Be the perfect option. 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!

Queen’s Park City sophistication by Jane Herman

P

aris has the Champs-Élysées, New York has Park Ave., and Toronto has University Ave. Originally one of two long promenades that connected the town of York to the University of Toronto campus, University Ave. was originally laid out as a gated carriageway flanked by landscaped walkways. The construction of the Provincial Parliament building in 1892 and the rise of the City Beautiful movement at the turn of the 20th century helped to foster the development of University Ave. as a grand Beaux-Arts thoroughfare, which it remains today.

10G

including office towers, department stores, hotels, Union Station, five subway stations as well as numerous major attractions.

living in tHe area There are a number of great rental buildings scattered throughout the streets adjacent to both sides of University Ave. Some of these buildings are new, with spectacular amenities, making them especially attractive and comfortable. It’s a premium area - with the lifestyle to match!

Want to Live in the area? Check out these listings: ConCert 570 Bay St. 416-977-8400 CHeriSHome 200 elm St. 416-979-3232 Downtown Toronto is the centre of many civic and commercial activities. In addition to being the seat of the provincial government, University and College is the heart of Toronto’s medical and scientific research district. The major hospitals are clustered here, along with the MaRS Centre for medical research. City Hall and the provincial courts are located at University and Queen, while Ryerson University lies just to the east; and the Financial and Entertainment Districts to the south. If you work in any of these fields, you’ll find it convenient and exciting to live in the neighbourhood around Queen’s Park, where you’ll have access to fantastic shopping, as well as cultural and recreational amenities.

Having Fun Living near Queen’s Park, the Central YMCA on Grosvenor St. is just steps away and has an array of facilities and classes. Love walking? Take the “Uptown Discovery Walk,” an urban adventure linking downtown landmarks, sculptures, and parks such as Allan

Gardens, Yorkville, Queen’s Park, and the University of Toronto. If you’re an architecture buff, the city itself is a museum. Here, the Frank Gehrydesigned expansion of the Art Gallery of Ontario is right in your backyard. Its blue titanium cladding envelops the back of the building which overlooks Grange Park and the whimsical Ontario College of Art and Design. It’s the perfect neighbourhood for the urbanite, with endless dining options of every flavour and budget. The nightlife options offer venues for all interests, from live music and dance to theatre and galleries. Whether it’s a spa day or a cool new tattoo, the neighbourhood offers it all.

SHoPPing There’s amazing shopping throughout the downtown area, although much of it can be out of sight. PATH, the world’s largest network of underground shopping arcades, extends from Bay and Dundas all the way to the south Convention Centre. PATH links 1,200 shops and services, 50 buildings

CONCERT

Style in Motion

M

otion is anything but your typical apartment building. Located at 570 Bay Street, this Bay and Dundas location is about as downtown as it gets. The building is brand new, a rare opportunity for renters to live in a newly constructed apartment. And the architecture, amenities and prestige are hard to resist. It adds style to one of the city’s most acclaimed corners. It’s everything an urbanite could want – and ask for – in an apartment, and more.

Bay and Dundas has it all – the Financial District, the Eaton Centre, the subway line, nightlife, shopping, dining, spas, theatre, movies and the special events and attractions that come to Dundas Square. It’s not just in the heart of the city, it’s on the pulse. This is where you want to be – with everything at your disposal, every advantage at your front door. The 29-storey tower sits atop a striking podium. The iconic architecture alone is sure to make this an urban landmark. The 463 suites offer incredible variety, making it easy to find just the right one for you, whether it’s an efficient studio, a roomy one bedroom or a sprawling two-bedroom two-storey apartment. These suites accommodate your lifestyle, your personal style and your wardrobe, with plenty of closets and a smartly concealed in-suite stacked washer and dryer. With such an urban address, your home is the destination and an ideal setting for get-togethers and dinner parties. Balconies and terraces are a feature of most suites and allow you to show off the view – or just enjoy it on your own. There’s nothing like Toronto’s skyline – unless it’s Toronto’s skyline at night with building lights streaking the panorama. Motion offers more to enjoy outside your suite door with a wide range of upscale amenities for mind, body and soul. The secure bike parking is a must for urban living, while the Terrace and Patio offer summer barbecue fun. The Library is a perfect haven for a quiet escape, while the Business Centre and Meeting Room allow those working from home to keep a professional setting when meetings arise. The Residents Lounge is an ideal place to relax with neighbours and friends, while the Games Room is another great space to play. The Party Room, equipped with catering kitchen, is ideal for

20G

entertaining large groups at home – just send out the invites and call in the caterer. Or plan your Oscar Party next year in the Theatre! And, of course, the Fitness Room is well-equipped, making it easy to bring your fitness regime home. But what makes this building a truly exceptional place to live is Concert’s dedication to quality and customer service. Residents have Concert On-Call at the ready – customer service and assistance available 24/7. Concert is known for their handson management and resident support, ensuring the rental experience is top notch. Residents will also appreciate the high standards of construction and environmental consideration. Motion has targeted the highest level of Toronto Green Standards (Tier 2), in addition to LEED Gold Certification – an important and conscious approach to apartment living. Residency will begin May 2013, so get ready to move. There are a variety of suites still available, but the waitlist has already begun. For more information check out Motion at MotionByConcert.com where you can view floorplans and find out more about this and all other Concert rental communities.

quicktips

The impact of stuff by Hellen Buttigieg

EvErything around you has an impact on you

whether you realize it or not. When you create and develop your décor, you are trying to set the tone of the room – give it a certain look and feel. You take time to include pieces you like and enjoy, whether they are part of the design or part of the function of the room. But other pieces make their way into your space, even though they may not belong there or may be there for the wrong reasons. By organizing, de-cluttering and streamlining, you can make sure your environment has the right effect! Is clutter getting you down? Surrounding ourselves with items that mean something to us brings pleasure. And then there’s all the other stuff. Often when we feel down but can’t figure out why, it could be the clutter. Even if it’s stuffed in the back of the closet, the basement or the garage, you know it’s there. Every item holds a vibrational energy; if you’ve buried sad reminders of disappointments from your past, know that as long as you keep these emotionally toxic things in your space, they are still haunting you. Break free from the past and make space for new opportunities to come into your life. If it’s in storage and bringing you sorrow, now is a great time to let it go. Out with the old, in with the new! Eliminate your clutter hot spots We all have certain spots in our homes that have become magnets for clutter, usually because they provide a convenient, empty, flat surface to pile things on. Walk around your home to determine where the clutter hot spots are, then remove the clutter (toss it in a box or laundry basket for now) and put something beautiful in its place, like a vase or a sculpture. If it’s the dining room table, set it as if you were having a dinner party. This will deter you from using it as a drop zone. Walk around your home with the box you tossed everything into and deposit these items where they belong, either in the garbage or recycle box or stored elsewhere in your house. If they don’t have a proper home, create one. Detaching from sentimental attachment Things that have a story attached to them are often difficult to let go of because of the sentimental attachment. Keep in mind that the item is not the memory; it simply triggers the memory. It may be beneficial to take a picture of the item and put it 28G

in a scrapbook or photo album with a short note telling its story. That way, the memory is preserved without taking up as much space. Another option is to pass along the items to a family member who could put them to good use. Daily de-clutter habit. You brush your teeth every day. You shower every day. Why not de-clutter every day too? Make it a habit, just like the examples I gave, and it will become second-nature. Throughout the day, when you pull something out, take a moment to put it back when you are finished with it. At the end of the day, take a couple of minutes to do a “clean sweep” of your home and put away anything that is out of place. Keep a sticky note somewhere on your way to your bedroom to remind you for the first little while. After doing it for a month, you can take the note down because it will have become a habit – one that will serve you beautifully for the rest of your life. This simple practice can help you cut down on clutter without taking a lot of time and effort.

moving

technology on the move by Dan Hopkins

Let’s face it – your electronic devices make the world go round, and in the moving business, we realize how important those items are to families. 72G

One of the most common questions we get is regarding how to transport electronics safely, especially big-screen TVs. During a move, whether it’s across town or across Canada, it is important to give these items special treatment so they arrive in one piece and in good working order. The best advice we have for accomplishing this goal requires some forethought: to keep the original boxes and foam spacers the electronic items came in. That is truly the safest method for moving them. Of course, people rarely keep these boxes, so at Two Men and a Truck - Canada, we have specialty boxes and crates designed specifically to move big-screen TVs safely. People who do their own packing and

moving should be aware of how easy it is to damage one of these units. Spending a few dollars extra to purchase or rent one of these special boxes can make all the difference. They can accommodate any size TV, so there is a solution for every unit. Another thing to remember is that most of these television sets are mounted on wall brackets – and moving companies are reluctant to disassemble the wall mounts or assemble them at the other end. Usually, if something is going to go wrong, that’s when it will happen – and again, people rarely keep the installation instructions for the brackets. It’s far too chaotic on moving day to be trying to find any instruction manuals. The best plan when preparing for your move is to take the TVs off the walls yourself, ahead of time, and have them ready to be packaged properly. Here’s a tip for anyone disassembling electronics for a move. Get your digital camera or phone camera and take photos of the wiring connections on the backs of the TVs, cable boxes, DVD players and the like. When it comes time to reassemble them, it will be much easier to reference how they were set up originally, saving time, stress and frustration. The same goes for stereos and gaming systems. Many teenagers leave their entire gaming systems hooked up until moving day. It’s up to them to disassemble their systems and hopefully place them into the packing they arrived in. If not, the best thing to do is wrap consoles in anti-static bubble wrap and place them into appropriately sized

be bought separately. If you choose not to go that route, then surround the unit with anti-static bubble wrap, and again, place it into an appropriate sized box. And one last handy tip: pack the associated hardware with your electronics. When packing computers, place the mouse, keyboard, power cord, scanner, printer cables, etc. all into the same box. When these cartons arrive at your new digs, you’ll be very glad you did!

boxes so they won’t move around during the trip. In fact, this is the best way to treat most electronics items. That includes computers – especially desktop units. We have specialty boxes designed specifically for them that can

Spring cleaning

101

BY JANE HERMAN

W

hy does the return of longer days and warmer temperatures trigger an urge to purge our homes of clutter and engage in cleaning them from top to bottom? The warming weather means we can finally start to relegate our boots and heavy outerwear to the back of the closet – or at least pull some of the spring clothing into rotation. In tackling your own apartment organize the task into de-cluttering and cleaning and spread it out over a period of several weeks.

DE-CLUTTERING Thoroughly clean all boots, footwear and outerwear and clean out your coat closet. Go through your collection of hats, gloves, and scarves, washing and cleaning where necessary, discarding odd gloves and organizing all into storage baskets. Wash your boot tray or hallway mat and put away in a closet until next winter. Remove everything from your pantry. Straighten up all your dry ingredients, discarding stale boxes of cereal, cookies, crackers, etc. Take an inventory of what you need and replenish with fresh spices, oils and other staples. Check under the sink and refresh your supply of sponges, cleaning products and other supplies. Go through your dishes, cutlery and cookware, discarding odd, broken items or things you never use. Treat yourself to a trip to a kitchen supply store and purchase something that will make food preparation and serving easier, such as a good set of storage containers, some new glasses, or a special serving piece. Spring is a good time to go through your books, CDs and DVDs. Is it time for a new media storage unit or bookshelf? Apartment storage space is limited and you don’t want to become a pack rat. Does your

coffee table look like a war zone? Move everything off of it and re-evaluate what you want it to be, a focal point for the room or a catch-all for your books and papers. Go through your upper and lower bathroom cupboards, discarding all expired cosmetics and other products. Replace and replenish soaps, body wash, shampoo, sunscreen, paper products, etc. Check the condition of your towels – if you can afford it, spring is a good time to invest in a set of new ones. Take time to re-arrange your wardrobe, so that warm weather garments are more accessible. Wash or dry clean garments before storing them in zippered bags. Go through your closets, drawers, shoe collection, cleaning, polishing, repairing and discarding where necessary. Donate apparel you no longer use. Many apartment buildings now have charity drop boxes right on the grounds; if yours doesn’t, take things you no longer need or use to a donation centre. CLEANING Turn off your refrigerator and begin by cleaning the dust off the coils (these are usually at the bottom, under the grill). Clean with a vacuum attachment or damp cloth. Remove everything from inside the refrigerator and wash the bins and shelves in hot soapy water, drying thoroughly. Defrost the freezer and wipe the interior with a solution of 2 tbs. baking soda per 1 litre hot water. Clean all the surfaces of the kitchen, including the walls, backsplashes, tops and doors of cupboards, and the oven. Clean out your files, reviewing bank statements, paid bills, contracts, household inventories, warranties and other personal documents. Clean your computer keyboard with a cotton swab; wipe the screen with a

special cloth and spray cleaning solution. Thoroughly clean or replace your mattress pad. Replace winter bedding with lighter, warm weather blankets. Clean your pillows to rid them of mould, bacteria and odours. If you’ve been using your balcony as a storeroom, now is the time to move those snow tires, bicycles and other large items out of sight. On a warm day, clean your balcony sliding door. Mix up a solution of one part white vinegar and one part hot water. Using a large sponge, rub the glass with the water and vinegar solution to rub away the dirt. Wet a squeegee and wipe the glass thoroughly. Wipe the surfaces with lint-free cloths like cloth diapers or other cloths that have not been laundered with fabric softener which will leave a residue. Clean the frames down as well. Wipe down or vacuum all furniture and other surfaces, such as windowsills and baseboards. Clean window coverings and rugs. Check the batteries in your smoke detector and ensure they are free of dust. Moving all the furniture to clean around and underneath where possible, dust and vacuum every room in the apartment, then wash and mop all floors. Open the windows and let the fresh air and sunshine in. Now, sit down and relax and enjoy the pleasure of your clean apartment!

Scrumpdillyicious

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

sesame crusted seared

ahi tuna with avocado directions

Slice the tuna into uniform size rectangles, or even triangles, so that the grain is running lengthwise in the fish. Combine the black and white sesame seeds on a large plate and coat the tuna by pressing it into the sesame seeds so that it’s completely covered. I often brush the tuna first with a little oil to ensure the seeds adhere really well.

Preheat a pan to medium-high and add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is shimmering, add the tuna and sear for about 45 seconds on all sides for seared edges and a raw red centre. Extend the cooking time if you prefer your tuna more well done. Using a very sharp knife, gently slice the tuna into 1/4-inch thick pieces and serve on a bed of arugula with slices of avocado and small bowls of wasabi, pickled ginger and soy sauce on the side, for dipping. Seaweed salad is also a nice accompaniment with seared tuna.

l

ight, healthy and refreshing, Seared Ahi Tuna is also low in fat, high in protein, low in carbs and absolutely delicious. Served with a mound of wasabi, some sweet and tangy picked ginger and a bowl of soy sauce, this dish is as elegant and simple as it gets. Excellent as an entrée, seared tuna is also fabulous as a posh appetizer or sexy hors d’oeuvre, because it can be seared ahead of time, chilled until needed and assembled at the last minute.

ingredients serves 2 › 1 lb sashimi-grade Ahi tuna, at least 1-inch thick › 3 tbsp black and white sesame seeds › 1 cup vegetable oil for frying and coating the tuna › 1 bunch baby arugula › 1 avocado, sliced › 1 container seaweed salad

108G

Garnishes › 4 tbsp soy or ponzu sauce › 1 tbsp wasabi powder, mixed with a little water to form a paste › 3 tbsp pickled ginger

DECORATIVE PAINTING How to transform a room with a few simple strokes

PAINT CAN DO MORE THAN CHANGE THE COLOUR OF A ROOM it can add texture, pattern and visual interest. Today’s decorative painting techniques are simple and sophisticated alternatives to wallpaper, and a far cry from the dated sponge painting from years past. Whether you’re a painting pro or a DIY beginner, here’s how you can transform a room with a few simple strokes. TEXTURED TECHNIQUES Give any room an extra bit of “oomph” with textured techniques. Easy to do and requiring few supplies, they’re an excellent option for new DIYers. One simple technique is simulating the texture of fabric on walls – it makes any space feel warm and homey. To add a more masculine feel to a bachelor pad or study, use paint to create the appearance of leather on walls – apply a mix of glaze and brown paint to walls using a scrunched-up plastic bag to give the right texture. Once it is dry, use a roller to add a layer of brown glaze over it. You can also use textured techniques to easily create the look of linen for a light and airy feel, or to transform your walls to seem like wood or stone for an outdoorsy atmosphere. A technique called combing is also great for those new to decorative painting it’s simple to do and mistakes are easy to fix. To “comb” your walls, paint your base coat of colour and let it dry completely, use a paint roller to apply a thin layer of clear glaze, and “comb” through the glaze with a special paint comb. If you don’t like your first attempt, simply apply another coat of glaze with your paint roller and start over.

SOPHISTICATED STRIPES Simple but stylish, stripes are an easy way to update your space. Vertical stripes create the feeling of high ceilings, making rooms feel spacious, while horizontal stripes add a modern, funky touch. For a subtle look, paint twotoned stripes in neutral hues - such as cream and taupe - or use the same colour in two different sheens (i.e. glossy and flat). For a more dramatic redo, choose two contrasting colours, create multicoloured stripes or paint stripes in a variety of widths to add extra interest. When painting stripes, measure carefully and use a laser level to apply tape to ensure the lines are straight. Always remember to paint your base coat with the lightest colour first since it will eventually become one of the stripes, and it is much easier to paint your darker colours over the lighter base. Then add the darker coloured stripes, in order from lightest to darkest. To create stripes with the sharp, crisp lines you’re looking for, choose FrogTape brand painter’s tape. Treated with patented PaintBlock Technology, FrogTape reacts with the water in latex paint to create a barrier that prevents paint bleed and helps ensure clean lines. For stripes, FrogTape is available in a Delicate Surface technology - it is great for decorative painting because it can be applied to fresh paint after only 24 hours. CONTEMPORARY CHEVRON A chic alternative to traditional stripes, chevron, or zig-zag stripes, is a way to make a big impact on your room with

minimal effort. Create a pattern of many chevron stripes, or go for major drama with fewer, wider stripes. Paint the pattern around the entire room, or add chevron to one focal wall. To get the look, use pencil or chalk to create a grid on the wall; use a level to make sure the grid lines are straight. Then, apply painter’s tape - FrogTape Delicate Surface is a good choice for this technique, too - to create the chevron pattern, utilizing your grid lines as a guide. After the painter’s tape is applied firmly to the surface, paint in-between the taped design. Lastly, make sure to remove the tape as soon as you are finished painting. STYLISH STENCILS Make an ordinary space extraordinary with stencils. Nowadays, stencils are available in almost any shape and size. Buy them precut at your local craft store or online at etsy.com, or create your own for a design that is completely unique. Add floral designs for a feminine look, or go classic with preppy polka dots. Stencil a chandelier shape for instant sophistication or paint a meaningful quote to add a personal touch to your space. Geometric patterns, damasks and paisleys also add spice to boring walls. Some retailers even offer wall size stencils, helping you to cover a large area with ease. Whether you consider yourself shabby chic, prefer sleek modern looks or adhere to a more traditional style, decorative painting is a simple way to add flair to any space. With just a few supplies and a free weekend, you can transform any room into a space you adore. ARA

with LEMON

Use these simple tips from Mr. Appliance Corp. to freshen up your kitchen: 1. Microwave Mix together 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice and 2 cups of water in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for one to two minutes. Allow bowl to cool down, then use mixture to wipe down the inside walls of the microwave. 2. Oven Mixture together 2 Tbsp. of liquid dish soap and 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice with 1 quart of warm water. Apply the mixture to the inside of the oven. Return after one hour and scrub with a sponge. Rinse well. 3. Fridge Quart a lemon and place in small bowl. Sprinkle a dash of table salt and 2 tsp. of baking soda onto lemons. Place uncovered dish in the middle of refrigerator and let sit for three to five days. 4. Dishwasher Mixture 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice with 1 cup of white vinegar. Pour into the bottom of empty dishwasher and allow for one cleaning cycle. 5. Stovetop In a small bowl, mix 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice with 2-3 Tbsp. baking soda to form paste. Apply paste to stovetop and wipe away with warm, damp sponge or towel. Follow these do-it-yourself cleaning tips periodically by adding them to your family calendar.

BUTTER CHICKEN can be a healthy choice

A

little prep in the morning will a go a long way in creating a flavourful and nutritious family meal that cooks while you are at work. Start with spice-coated chicken and a healthy pantry staple pasta sauce. Let it simmer all day in the slow cooker. Finish it off with rich Greek yogurt and lime at dinner time. This dish can be served over quinoa or basmati rice. This traditionally rich butter chicken dish is slimmed down in sodium and fat while maintaining amazing aromas and flavours.

PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES COOKING TIME: 4-6 HOURS ON HIGH OR 8-10 HOURS ON LOW SERVES: 6 SERVING SIZE: 250G CALORIES PER SERVING: 307 INGREDIENTS: 2 cups (500 mL) Healthy Choice Diced Tomato with Onion and Garlic pasta sauce 2 tsp. (10 mL) each: ground ginger, curry powder 1 tsp. (5 mL) each: ground cumin, cinnamon, coriander 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 ½ cup/375 mL) 1 ½ lb. (675g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed into 2- inch (5 cm) pieces

DIRECTIONS:

In small bowl combine all spices, set aside. Place onion in ceramic insert of slow cooker; add chicken; sprinkle with spices then top with melted butter and Healthy Choice Diced Tomato with Onion and Garlic pasta sauce. Stir, cover and cook on high for four to six hours or on low for eight to 10 hours. Stir in lime juice and yogurt (optional) before serving. Garnish with cilantro. Tip: Make extra of the spice mixture and store for your next “better for you” Butter Chicken.

Children’s TAX credits

N

o matter whether your children are inspired to be the next YouTube sensation, like Justin Bieber, or hope to pen a worldwide bestseller like Lucy Maud Montgomery, or dream to go Back to the Future like Michael J. Fox, the new children’s arts tax credit will allow them to live out their dreams. Your children are always on the go and keep parents running around. Just as one sport ends and you start to look forward to sleeping in on Saturday mornings, another sport begins and you’re spending early mornings at the hockey rink. With all the activities your kids are involved in, you won’t be the only thing flying – money may be flying out of your wallet too. Registration fees, new uniforms and equipment, not to mention gas money for the carpool – it all adds up. However, registering your children in physical activities may save you some money this tax season. The children’s fitness tax credit may allow you to claim up to $500 of the fees you spend on eligible activities. This gives you a non-refundable tax credit of up to $75 per child which could help equip your future sports superstar.

In addition to fitness programs covered by the children’s fitness tax credit, parents may now be able to claim a children’s arts tax credit for the amounts paid for prescribed artistic, cultural, recreational, and developmental programs.

$

This new non-refundable tax credit allows kids the choice to focus on fine arts, music, performing arts, outdoor wilderness training, learning a language, studying a culture, tutoring, and more. When parents claim the children’s arts tax credit – up to a maximum of $500 for the cost of eligible programs – they can save as much as $75 at tax time per child claimed. More information on this topic is available online at www.cra. gc.ca/artscredit. Pull out those paintbrushes and clarinets, and let’s get creative. NC More information can be found online at www.cra.gc.ca/fitness.

BOOMERS FACE DIFFICULT CHOICES WITH RETIREMENT INCOME PLANNING

A

s Canadian baby boomers enter retirement, there is a lot of concern, anxiety and confusion as to how to plan their retirement income.

“When we consider the risks of outliving retirement assets, unexpected costs, healthcare expenses and unpredictable investment returns, the importance of retirement planning and, more specifically, retirement income planning become more clear,” says Tina Di Vito, head of the BMO Retirement Institute. When it comes to effective retirement income planning, Canadians need to accept that hard decisions have to be made and that some concessions will be necessary. There is always a trade–off between risk and return, and in order to ensure a predictable income stream, one may have to give up some return to achieve more stability. In achieving predictability, however, one may also have to sacrifice some control and flexibility. In deciding on their personal retirement income strategy, Canadians must recognize that they cannot have their cake and eat it too. They should make an honest assessment of what they need and value most and what they are prepared to give up, and choose the appropriate product or strategy that will best enable them to achieve those needs with a price tag that they are prepared to live with. One’s individual situation, as well as one’s individual goals, will determine which solution – or combination of solutions – is best. It is also important to start thinking early, since the successful implementation of one’s strategy may involve taking action well before retirement. Remember – there are no certainties in life. Just like those in other phases of their lives, people in retirement will need to stay flexible and be prepared to make adjustments to their retirement income plans in response to changing conditions.

REMANUFACTURED INK CARTRIDGES

helps us print Green

A

bout 100 million laser printer cartridges and 400 million inkjet printer cartridges are produced each year. When discarded, they create waste that will take as long as 1,000 years to decompose. With numbers like that you can’t deny the impact of choosing to print “Green.” Ryan Jordan is the senior vice-president at Canada for Clover Technologies Group (clovertech.com), the world’s largest collector and recycler of cell phones and inkjet and laser cartridges. He says all consumers should care about the life cycle of a cartridge. “We should all want to keep harmful metals and plastics out of the landfill,” he says.“Every cartridge that comes back to us is inspected and evaluated, and we determine what can be recycled and what can be remanufactured to make more cartridges. Nothing goes to the landfill.” If recycling is the chosen path, the cartridge is disassembled so the components can be recycled. Plastic parts are ground up and raw materials can be used to manufacture new products, even other office products well suited to a Green office, like staplers and calculators. When fit for reuse, cartridges are inspected, remanufactured using new components, quality tested, then packaged for the consumer. Clover is the company behind the Sustainable Earth by Staples brand cartridges, which are 100 per cent remanufactured. With more than 118

million ink and toner cartridges recycled over the past two years, Staples is one of the world’s largest ink and toner recyclers. The big users of course are in the business community. To encourage recycling, Staples Advantage, the business-to-business division of Staples, offers it’s customers free pick-up for all ink and toner cartridges, regardless of brand, when drivers are making deliveries. Jordan says each one makes a difference. “Each discarded cartridge adds about three pounds of unnecessary waste to our landfills,” he says.“The office products remanufacturing industry has been around for about 15 years, but in some respects we still have work to do to educate people about the value of remanufactured cartridges and the advancements the industry has made in improving quality. For most applications, you won’t see any difference in quality between a new cartridge and a remanufactured one.” NC.

What to look for in an apartment BY JANE HERMAN

A

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

TRN06_SectionA_64pg.indd 57

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

W

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&#x20AC;&#x153;lease.â&#x20AC;?

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.

P

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.

P

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

P

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.

SPENDERS and SAVERS can reach financial bliss

W

hen it comes to romantic relationships, the traditional thought is that opposites attract. However, personal finance experts say that couples with different attitudes towards money need to find a middle ground to achieve financial bliss.

“Many couples include a “spender” and a “saver”. The spender is the one who sees a sale and thinks they can buy more; whereas the saver thinks they will save more,” says Wade Stayzer, the vice president of retail and investment services at Meridian, Ontario’s largest credit union. “While there appears to be a big divide between the spender and the saver mind-sets, these couples can still be

successful with their family finances if they find and agree to ways that will align their approaches to money. Financial planning is the key.” Meridian offers this advice on how spender/saver couples can get on the path to financial success: Sort Out Financial Differences: Talk, don’t fight, about your different approaches to money. Figure out how much you spend and where the money is going. Acknowledge who the spender is and who the saver is, and agree to compromise.

Set Goals: Find common goals and discuss what your individual goals are. Whether it’s getting out of debt, or saving for retirement and the children’s education, setting goals will help you prioritize and focus on what’s really important. Get a Personalized Financial Plan: To meet your established goals, you need to set up a budget and a financial plan. Consider seeking expert advice. Working with a trusted financial advisor to develop a personalized financial plan is like

Get Involved: Many times, there is one member of the family who regularly handles the finances. Having both partners involved can be a major breakthrough and also makes sure the responsibility is being shared.

driving with a GPS system – you’ll reach your end goal faster and with less stress. More information is available online at www.meridiancu.ca. NC

Training program raises professionalism and service standards,

BENEFITTING RENTERS BY TED WHITEHEAD

W

hen you rent an apartment, your quality of life in that residence has much to do with how the building property management personnel operate and perform on a daily basis. The Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) established the province-wide Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to help apartment shoppers zero in on buildings that are well run in keeping with an accepted set of standards of practice that help to raise the level of professionalism across the industry. To ensure that these criteria are met, those enrolled in this innovative program must complete the Certified Rental Building Property Managers Training & Education Program that helps achieve the CRBP’s goal of “Providing value to tenants.” In other words, providing an acceptable customer service level is at the forefront of the exercise. The training course is available only to property managers’ and/or property owners’ staff whose buildings have been admitted into the program. Participants cover the requirements of meeting CRBP’s Standards of Practice and learn how and why upholding them improves operations and customer service. All management personnel who carry out the daily decisions about running the enrolled buildings must attend the course, which runs approximately eight hours. “The CRB Program’s training was a natural educational add-on for Sterling Karamar’s staff,” said President, Marshall Bleiweis.“The training was well received by our staff and served to re-enforce our continued commitment to providing our

residents with a quality rental product and service.” For the convenience of participants, it is run in two session formats: a one-day or two concurrent half-day sessions. All participants complete a test at the end of the sessions to make sure that they understand the course content.

professionalism across our industry,” said Vince Brescia, president and CEO of the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario.“It is a natural extension of any respectable quality-assurance program and that is why it is such an important component of the CRB Program.”

The curriculum covers the CRBP’s Standards of Practice and how these apply to the daily running of an apartment building, as well as how they can improve revenue opportunities, increase occupancy rates and enhance the quality of service to customers. It truly is a win-win situation. There is a fee to enrol participants, and each receives a Training Manual and a Sample Forms Booklet.

The education and training that accompanies the CRBP certification facilitates strict adherence to things such as regular building cleaning schedules, effective and prompt communication with tenants regarding repairs and other concerns, properly maintained elevators, annual site inspections, and much more.

In the end, participants are expected to ensure that good business processes and practices are in place, all for the benefit of the renter. The education component of the CRBP goes hand-in-hand with the Program’s goal of raising employee professionalism across the industry. Another component, accountability, is equally important. A key requirement of certification is proof of compliance with the Standards of Practice through building audits conducted by the independent thirdparty performance measurement firm, J.D. Power and Associates, and the education course prepares managers and owners for this process. In fact, participating building owners/ managers have to request the audit after completing a self-assessment, which adds another layer of accountability. “Training and education help raise the quality of rental-apartment buildings in Ontario, and in raising the level of

Program participants learn about the importance of human rights responsibilities when it comes to tenants and employees, and how critical it is to respect people’s privacy. The provision of emergency contact information to tenants, paying interest on their last month’s rent . . . there are many aspects of managing and working in an apartment building that are addressed. The CRBP has been well received across the industry, and the certification continues to be a sign of leadership and respect for quality assurance for rental housing consumers. In the end, it’s about making life better for renters. Visit crbprogram.org to learn more.

Ted Whitehead is Director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program, Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO).

Preserving your MEMORIES

W

e can all remember spending hours looking through the pages of old family photo albums. As we flipped through the pages, the pictures answered a curious desire to learn more about loved ones. But unless you were looking at familiar faces, or being told accompanying stories, these albums were not always exciting.

According to a survey commissioned by Black’s, 44 per cent of snap happy Canadians take over 250 photos a year. If you are one of those who loves capturing life’s special moments, then sharing your photos is as exciting as snapping the memory. To showcase these memorable moments, consider creating a photo book that will help tell your story. “Photo books are great for preserving and sharing our family’s memories,” says Erica Ehm, founder and editor-in-chief of

7

YummyMummyClub.ca.“I treasure the time we spent together, and look forward to revisiting these books with my kids when they are older, and maybe even with my grandkids one day.” For some, printing photos and storing them in a shoe box will suffice. But it’s important to remember that regular print memories run the risk of getting lost over the years or mixed together with pictures from different moments. There is comfort in knowing that a photo book organizes your photos and helps keep them safe. Using services such as Black’s PhotoBook design service, makes it easy to preserve your memories. Simply upload the images to their website and they will design the layout for you, compiling the memories to tell a story and preserve them in a way that will make it enjoyable for anyone to flip through. More information on preserving your memories can be found online at www.blacks.ca. NC

THE DREADED B-WORD If he mere mention of the word ‘budget’ makes you groan, maybe you haven’t given this old idea a fair shake B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE

T

rying to get through life without a budget is like trying to drive a car with no steering wheel. You can lurch your way along, jamming on the breaks every time a threat looms, or you can put the pedal to the metal, but the whole time you’re careening down the road you’ll be worrying about what you’re going to hit. And if you’ve got any passengers, there’ll be some mess to clean up when you finally reach your destination.

TRN06_SectionB_48pgs.indd 80

finances

Anyone that I know who lives on a budget couldn’t get by without it. And it seems it’s only the people who refuse to make a plan who end up bellying aching about getting to the end of the money before they get to the end of the month. If you were building a house, you wouldn’t dream of using an architect who declared,“Relax. I’ve done this before. I promise I’ll put everything in the right place.” Noooo. You’d insist on seeing some drawings. And here’s why you should, as the architect of your financial house, draw up a budget. Whether paper-based or electronic, the discipline of managing your budget will help to keep you organized. Annual bills, like car insurance, won’t surprise you, sending shock waves through your cash flow. And unexpected expenses, which have a category in a spending plan, won’t throw you for a loop. A spending plan is made up of two parts: income and expenses. Income is

TRN06_SectionB_48pgs.indd 81

the money that comes in: your salary, commission, dividends or interest income, alimony, child support, pension, or disability income. It doesn’t include money you think you might get. So, if your bonus is not guaranteed, don’t include it in your budget. Keep it in reserve to boost your RRSP or take you to the sunshine next winter. Expenses are the items you have to pay for monthly. (Divide annual bills, such as insurance, by 12 to come up with a monthly amount.) The best way to figure out your expenses is to look at what you’ve been spending. Collect your bank statements, credit card bills, and whatever other records you have of where your money went over the past year. Put each bill in an appropriate category — i.e., utilities, food, clothing, childcare, gifts — total the figures for each category and divide by 12. That’s your monthly average. Add the categories together. That’s what you’ve been spending.

Now, for all you toads out there who can’t gather together two months’ worth of paperwork, never mind a year’s worth, here’s the other way to make a budget: You can use the nifty Gail’s Guide to Building a Budget along with the even niftier Gail’s Interactive Budget Worksheet. If you think you can keep flying by the seat of your pants forever, good luck with that. If you’ve decided to take control of your financial future, congratulations. Create a budget that balances and you’ve taken the first step to making your money work for you.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless deadly gas that can be produced by any appliance, engine or heating device that uses combustible fuel such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood or charcoal. Carbon monoxide can leak into the home when a fuel-burning device is poorly maintained, improperly vented or breaks down. Other potential sources include automobiles left running in attached garages, clogged or blocked chimney openings, inadequate venting, malfunctioning appliances or the operation of a barbecue in an enclosed area such as your home or garage. When inhaled it CO inhibits the bloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to transport oxygen throughout the body. It can poison the body quickly in high concentrations, or slowly over long periods of time. Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea and dizziness, burning eyes, confusion, drowsiness and even loss of consciousness. In severe cases, CO poisoning can cause brain damage and death. The elderly, children and people with heart or respiratory conditions may be particularly sensitive to CO. According to Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Marketing and Business Development for Reliance Protectron Security Services, the best defense against carbon monoxide poisoning is detection and prevention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way to detect this deadly gas is by installing carbon monoxide detectors,â&#x20AC;? De Luca explained, recommending that detectors be installed on each level of your home.â&#x20AC;&#x153;At minimum, one should be installed outside every sleeping level.â&#x20AC;? De Luca stressed the importance of having the CO detectors linked to a monitoring centre since many of those killed or injured by carbon monoxide are asleep at the time of exposure and timing is crucial for alerting emergency help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protectron carbon monoxide detectors offer valuable protection by alerting you to the presence this gas and notifying the monitoring centre, which will immediately take the appropriate measures to help you,â&#x20AC;?he added.

Easy home

makeover

T

ransform your home by simply rejuvenating and modernizing. Hilary Farr, designer and host of W Network’s Love It or List It, offers six simple tips for upgrading your living space without breaking the budget.

Give a favourite old couch a new look. Add some throw pillows in all sorts of colours and textures. Why not give your old chairs a new look too? Reupholster them in a rich-looking new fabric.

but choose colours that will enhance your furniture and floors or carpets. For that finishing touch, paint your old furniture and picture frames a bold new colour that complements the room.

You’d be amazed by how great a space can look once it’s cleared of knickknacks, paperwork and random items. Why not plan a thorough cleaning and, while you’re at it, be ruthless and toss or give away what’s no longer needed. Organize what’s left by investing in storage such as decorative baskets and boxes. This will help you show off those special pieces such as coffee tables, bookshelves and cabinets. Then rearrange books, picture frames and vases where they can now be seen and enjoyed.

Baseboards frame the entire space of your home, so keep them looking fresh and bright by vacuuming and cleaning. Keep walls looking their best with Vim Cream, which is specially formulated to remove scuff marks, dirt and stains. Plastic blinds and paper shades can do the job but won’t make the most of your windows or décor. Use options which will not only do the job but also look gorgeous. Choose roman blinds in a beautiful fabric, wooden plantation shutters or luxurious looking curtains.

Fresh paint on the walls can instantly open up and appear to enlarge a room while also creating a dramatic or even subtle change in décor. Be adventurous,

Rejuvenate and add a shine to hardwood, laminate or linoleum flooring by using Vim Oxy-Gel allpurpose cleaner, which leaves a fresh scent. NC

Painting is an easy and affordable

UPDATE FOR YOUR HOME

W

hen it comes time to make improvements to your home, the good news is you don’t have to spend a fortune to make an impact. There are home updates you can complete without breaking the bank, like painting. Transforming your space with a fresh coat is easy and affordable.

Add personality to a room with an accent wall – it’s an easy way to create a new focal point. If the rest of your walls are neutral, try a bright or bold colour. Be sure to use painter’s tape to create a clean paint line between the two colours. A popular seller is a brand called Painter’s Mate Green tape, which delivers premium results without the premium price. Do you have a piece of furniture that’s past its prime? Whether it’s an old pair of chairs in storage or a desk that’s seen better days, it’s easy to breathe new life into these pieces of forgotten furniture with a fresh coat of paint. You can add interest and a pop of colour to any room. Semi-gloss finishes works best when painting furniture because they’re easy-to-clean and hide any imperfections. Changing the colour of an interior door can make a big impact in any room. The key to getting this update right is colour selection. Choose a colour similar to your walls for the door, because you don’t want the contrast to be jarring. Be sure to paint the frame too, so the door doesn’t seem to float in space, and use a gloss or semi-gloss finish. Updating your home doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. More information is available online at www.PaintersMateGreen.com. NC.

CREATE SAFER

window coverings in your home Window fashions company Hunter Douglas says it has always made safety a top priority. Newest in the lineup of products with enhanced child safety features is soft, sheer Silhouette window shading with the LiteRise cordless lifting system. Silhouette with LiteRise features cordless operation that not only makes raising and lowering, as well as tilting the shading for variable light control easy, but eliminates the need for cords of any kind. No cords makes it especially ideal for homes with young children and provides a clean, uncluttered look at the window. More information is available online at www. hunterdouglas.ca. NC

P

roviding a safe environment within your home is important, especially when you have young children in your care. To do this, it is helpful to recognize and resolve all potentially dangerous situations, even those that are not as obvious. Window coverings in particular are present in most rooms and have an attractive appearance that is oftentimes not associated with any safety concerns; however, window covering cords can form hazardous loops.

Five SURE CURES FOR THE EMPTY-NEST

T

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

S

Do I really need

TENANT insurance?

T

HE SHORT ANSWER IS YES. THERE ARE A

FEW REALLY GOOD REASONS FOR HAVING TENANT INSURANCE.

For one, as a tenant you are liable – yes, legally responsible – for any harm you cause to any part of your building and to others who live or visit there. Yikes! If your faulty toaster oven starts a fire that damages not only your apartment, but also the entire complex, you may have to pay out a lot of money. You could even find yourself in trouble if your party guests get out of hand and cause damage. Then there are your possessions. You might not think that you have much of real value, but what if you had to replace them all at once, due to fire or water damage? Replacing your clothing, alone, could run you a few thousand dollars. And that old couch and bed might not look like much, but buying new ones would be hard on the wallet. When you consider what it would cost to replace everything, monthly insurance premiums may look pretty good by comparison. One more thing you might want to think about – talk to your insurance representative about getting an insurance policy that will pay for the full cost to replace what you’ve lost. The alternative is a settlement based on how much your old stuff was actually worth, given that it was old. The depreciated value may not be enough. The Insurance Bureau of Canada offers information for consumers to help make them aware of their insurance needs and assist them in understanding the types of insurance available. They are the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada. For more valuable information from the Insurance Bureau of Canada please visit www.ibc.ca.

10 WAYS TO REDUCE

your tax bill For individuals

1. Plan ahead – Make sure to gather your receipts and NETFILE code, register for My Account, and sign up for direct deposit before April 30. Submitting your income tax and benefit return before the tax-filing deadline means you can avoid having to pay late-filing penalties. 2. Tax-free savings account – A tax-free savings account (TFSA) is one great way to save money, since you don’t pay tax on any income you earn from investments in your TFSA. 3. Registered retirement savings plan – Any income you earn in a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is exempt from tax, as long as the funds stay in the plan. RRSPs help you save for your retirement and get a break at tax time too. 4. Public transit tax credit – If you or someone in your family is a regular user of public transit then you may be able to claim a non-refundable tax credit based on the cost of eligible transit passes.

T

he holiday decorations are all packed away, the New Year’s resolutions made, and spring is around the corner. Before you know it, tax season will be here. Before you start filing your taxes, here are 10 ways that may help you reduce your tax bill and may even land you a refund.

5. Pension income splitting – If you are receiving income from a pension, you can split up to 50 per cent of eligible pension income with your spouse or common-law partner to reduce the taxes you pay. 6. Students – Are you still in school? Students can claim the tuition, education, and textbook amounts. Have you graduated recently? You may be eligible to claim the interest you paid on your student loans. 7. Child care expenses – For those who have children, you may be able to claim child care expenses that you or your spouse or common-law partner paid so that either of you could work, do research, or go to school. 8. Home buyer’s tax credit – If you’re a first-time home buyer you may be eligible to claim $5,000 on the purchase of your new home, which can save you up to $750.

For people who are self-employed 9. Hiring an apprentice – Did your business employ an apprentice? A salary paid to an employee registered in a prescribed trade in the first two years of his or her apprenticeship contract qualifies for a non-refundable tax credit for the employer. 10. Creating child care spaces – Did your business (which is not mainly a child care services business) create licensed child care spaces for the children of your employees? If so, you may be eligible for an investment tax credit for the child care spaces you created. More tips on how best to prepare your 2011 income tax and benefit return can be found online at www.cra.gc.ca/getready. NC

NATURE’S HEALING OILS

M

uch of modern medicine has come to us from traditional use of herbs, plants and other gifts of nature. Centuries of use are behind two potent oils – tea tree oil and oil of oregano – that have now received scientific recognition for their antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties.

What we commonly call germs, are actually a variety of living agents that cause disease or illness. They can include bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and fungi. Tea tree oil and oil of oregano are two of your most powerful natural allies against such invaders. Tea tree oil is a concentrated plant oil from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree. With its key active ingredient carvacrol, tea tree oil is able to breach the membrane of infected cells, disrupting the proteins within, so microbes cannot multiply and cause disease. According to experts at Holista Health Canada, tea tree oil is often used against head lice, scabies and athlete’s foot, or to disinfect scrapes and cuts. It is sometimes called nature’s “first aid kit in a bottle!” Another healing oil now found in many medicine cabinets is oil of oregano. A multi–purpose herb and a member of the mint family, oregano is closely related to marjoram but you won’t find the oregano used to produce oregano oil in the spice section of your local grocery store. Only quality Organum vulgare oregano oil from a trusted manufacturer should be used medicinally. With modern scientific research behind it, oregano oil has become a trusted natural treatment against bacteria, viruses, fungus and even parasites. Its antiseptic and antioxidant power make it useful for a wide range of healing applications and for immune system support. Both tea tree and oregano oils are potent medicines. Be sure to follow label directions. NC
