EDITORS’ NOTES

oving made easy!

Whether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your first place out of parents home, changing homes can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax. You can eliminate all the anxiety sometimes associated with moving by taking control of the situation with confidence. If you decide to move yourself, book a moving truck well in advance from a reliable company that can help you give you tips on moving as well as advice regarding the size of vehicle you will need. If you decide to go with a pro, ask your friends and family for a recommendation of mover. Call at least three companies to ask about their services and then decide. Professional movers can do everything for you if you wish, from packing and unpacking, to disconnecting appliances and electronics, but of course there’s extra cost involved. Make sure you understand the terms of your agreement no matter what you decide as well any other additional costs, such as insurance and mileage costs so you can budget accordingly.

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

here are two kinds of people in this world – those that don’t enjoy riding the elevator to their home and those that don’t mind it. Oddly enough, I’m the former. It has nothing to do with fear of heights or fear of blackouts or fear of elevators and everything to do with lack of patience. I have a hard time waiting for elevators. Oh, I know what I’m missing out on – I covet the magnificent view, the added quiet, the balcony above the trees. I know I’ve missed out on the opportunity to have casual conversations that lead to getting to know my neighbours. But in my day-to-day I just can’t wait, hence, I’ve never made it above the fourth floor – anything more is just too far to run up and down quickly and easily. It’s good to know the little nuances of your own personality when you’re renting. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else but you. It’s the little things that will make a big difference to your rental experience in the end. While budget, location and size may dictate a lot of your options, make sure you’re happy with the little things – like which exposure you’re facing and whether the kitchen has a double basin sink. Yes, something as innocuous as an interruption in the way you do the dishes can ultimately impact your comfort level at home. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfectly comfortable place to call home. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

BaY Street FinanCiaL DiStriCt

Living Large and In Charge BY IVAN SANDOVAL

oronto is Canada’s largest city and one of the largest in North America. The CN Tower and some of the tallest skyscrapers in the country highlight the city’s skyline. Most of these buildings that make up this impressive scene are located in Toronto’s Financial District on Bay Street. Here, in Toronto’s own version of Wall Street, business people, bankers and execs fill the streets with a briefcase in one hand and a smartphone in the other. For the professional who wants to be close to all of the action, renting is not a problem as there are plenty of luxurious rental buildings located on and around the infamous Bay Street.

14G

The Area Towering glass skyscrapers with elaborate entrances and broad sidewalks with heavy walking traffic define the Bay Street area. Bay’s journey starts from Lake Ontario all the way to its terminus at Davenport Road. Located just west of Yonge Street, The Bay Street area features Toronto’s finest landmarks such as the Air Canada Centre, City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square, Old City Hall and the University of Toronto, The actual Financial District on Bay Street is located between Front and Queen Street. One can find BCE Place, with its two towers and more than half an acre of commercial and retail space amongst a fabulous light and glass structure, a must see for all. Head a little north to find Canada’s tallest office building, First Canadian Place, the world headquarters of the Bank of Montreal. In fact, all of Canada’s major banks have set up their headquarters in Toronto’s Financial District including all four corners of Bay and King. Across from the banks is the Toronto Stock Exchange, the epicentre of Canada’s financial equity market and the pulse of Toronto’s finances. Shopping Shopping is exquisite for Bay Street residents. Head to the top of the street and you’ve arrived at the upscale and elegant district of Yorkville. From Holt

Renfrew to Birk’s to Louis Vuitton, the best of the best locate here at Yorkville. Further south, Bay Street includes its own convenience stores, pharmacies, salons, restaurants and cafés, usually located at the base of taller highrises. Once you get to the Financial District, head below the street to shop at over 1,200 retail stores that are all connected by PATH – 27 kilometers of underground passageways! This underground shopping mecca is convenient during the winter months plus it connects to five different subway stations including Union. Virtually an underground city perfect for renters who commute by subway or on foot.. Living on Bay Street Living where much of the country’s money is concentrated means living amongst luxury and the apartment building highrises that are located on, or around Bay Street cater to this premise. Condo-like apartments with hotel-like amenities, that’s what living here is all about. Concierge service, state-ofthe-art fitness rooms, spacious meeting rooms, media rooms, social rooms, business centres, indoor pools, skydecks, underground parking - these are all common amenities that can be found for ‘Bay Street Living.’ Suffice it is to say, that if you want to live close to the money, power and influence of Canada, then Bay Street is where you want to be.

REVEAL THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL

of the

HOME OFFICE

by JO ALCORN | PHOTOGRAPHY by ROBERT CARTER

30G

BEFORE

As much As we All wAnt A stunning office of trAnquility

and efficiency, the budget is never as big as we desire. Yet, even with champagne taste on a beer budget, there are clever design directions that anyone can follow to accomplish that high-end look for less. The flexibility to work from home has increased tenfold in the past few years but that often means more and more people can be found with their office space either mixed into their living room, bedroom or a spare room. It is important to remember that the space you work in should be one of motivation and inspiration. We spend a lot of time in these areas, so it should be a space we love and want to come into. When I first saw my client’s office, I immediately felt tired, bored and uninspired even to want to enter the room. My client’s office space was a great size, however you would never know it with the layout she had, the mis-proportioned furniture in it and the dark walls closing in on the space. A great office was hidden from its true potential, as many are when the desk is pushed up against the wall or a window. In this redesign, we had the freedom to truly open up the floor layout by moving the desk to the middle of the room, which created great wall space behind for storage, a sitting area in the corner and an inspirational wall to brighten up the room. By reconfiguring the space it instantly became more inviting, exciting and overall more efficient. Paint goes a long way and just by updating the dark room with light, trendy and cheerful colours, the room immediately transformed into a space of inspiration. I used Para Paints trend colours on the walls, and I also work with Para and created my own paint colour called JoJo. It is the brightest of whites and goes on thick and luxurious. Bringing a light colour into a dark room always creates the illusion of more space. Due to a tight budget, painting a fun pattern on the wall was less expensive than wallpaper and we achieved the same look. I had Jim Connelly, the painter from the Debbie Travis show, come in to create an amazing zig-zag accent wall that sets off the entire office making the space motivating to enter. Accent lighting and accessories were added from Bouclair Home (bouclair. com) to create a great ambiance to work in and much needed storage pieces. The perfect desk and chair were sourced from a Canadian gem called Harkel

(all pieces are made and manufactured in Canada!) – harkeloffice.com. On the one wall we added inspirational quotes to budget-friendly frames hung on picture racks and the wall, the nice part of this DIY project is the quotes can be changed to keep up with the growing mind of your child or you can use them to showcase your children’s art masterpieces. My client spends many hours in her office and I wanted to create a room that was fresh in colour, had sophisticated storage and an efficient workspace that illustrated her true professional personality. I then tied it all together with fun, budget-friendly textures and accessories, which are needed to achieve a clever and interesting home office to work in. We saved money in certain design areas and made sure to splurge on the

high-traffic pieces (such as the office desk and chair), which is important to keep in mind. Think of your home office as an extension of your home, and use those same design principles you used throughout the dĂŠcor. For example, the importance of accent lighting, the warmth of textures, the completeness of accessories, the joy of colour and the most important part, the functionality of your furniture pieces. Keep in mind your home office should be an important part of your home since it is the room you make a living in.

Get a move on Surviving relocation

obody pretends that moving to a new home or condo is a walk in the park – but it needn’t be an out-and-out nightmare either. As moving day approaches, don’t wait to be overwhelmed with a flood of jobs that should have been tended to weeks before.

- If you’re doing the job yourself, book a truck. Self-movers should consult the truck rental company as to the truck size required to accommodate your belongings.

Here, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to easing some of the panic

- Take a good look at the floor plan of your new home and visualize your furniture arrangement. Decide which furniture you want to hang on to, and which, if any, should be set free.

associated with the big day:

8 weeks to go

- If you’re moving to a new town, make a phone call to the local Chamber of Commerce for information about schools, amenities, taxes, etc.

- Get estimates from several different moving companies and book a mover. If you decide to contract the mover to take care of your packing, arrange to have this done one or two days before the moving date.

- Properly dispose of anything you will be unable to move – ie, food in the freezer; flammable painting and cleaning supplies. Re-familiarize yourself with the contents of your locker or storage space.

5 weeks to go - Talk to your mover about costs, insurance, loading delivery and claims procedures. Ask your accountant about tax-deductible moving expenses, and be sure to retain any pertinent records. - Obtain copies of your family’s records from doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, etc.

40G

Transfer your children’s school records. - Fill out a change of address form at the post office. Inform creditors, magazine subscriptions, etc., of your new address.

4 weeks to go

If necessary, book a baby-sitter for moving day. - Return library books, videos and items long ago borrowed from neighbours.

2 days to go

- Arrange storage if needed.

If you’ve hired movers to pack for you, they should be doing so now.

- If your furniture, curtains or carpets need fixing, now is the time to have the work done.

Set aside a suitcase with the clothing and toiletries you’ll need along the way, or upon arrival in your new home.

- If you don’t want it, unload it at a garage sale: less to move, cash to gain.

3 weeks to go - Estimate how many boxes you’ll need and buy them or start to collect them from neighbourhood stores.

Pack a survival kit for your first day, including: - scissors and utility knife - coffee cups, paper plates and - paper towels - tea kettle, instant coffee, tea and water/ soft drinks

Also collect the following: - newspapers

- address book, pens and paper

- bubble wrap

- soap and towels

- scissors

- garbage bags

- packing tape and string

Valuables and important papers should be carefully secured. Bring these with you instead of packing them in the truck.

- labels and markers

Defrost your refrigerator and freezer.

- utility knife

- furniture pads - dolly Moving day may seem eons away, but it’s time to start packing those things you won’t use before the move. Arrange for cancellation of utilities, television programming, phone, Internet, etc., and arrange for their setup at your new home. If you’re taking a lengthy journey, make travel and hotel reservations. Have your address changed on your driver’s license, registration and insurance, and your health card. In major city centres, much of this can be easily done with once stop or online.

Be prepared to pay the movers on delivery day.

2 weeks to go - Arrange for the transfer of your bank accounts to your new branch. - Cancel or re-direct any direct deposit or automatic payment arrangements. - Talk to your veterinarian about the best way to move your pet. - Cancel delivery services and newspaper subscriptions.

Moving day - Pick up the truck early, if you’re moving yourself.

1 week to go

- Make a list of every item loaded onto the truck.

- Have medical prescriptions transferred to a pharmacy in your new neighbourhood.

- Provide the mover with a phone number through which you can be reached.

- Be available by phone to answer questions and direct the mover as needed. - Read the bill of lading before signing. - Put aside in a safe place until the transaction is seen through to the very end, including any settling of claims. - Ensure appliances are turned off in your old house. - Do a final inspection of the property – don’t forget the balcony. - Lock all doors and windows.

Upon arrival - As the truck is unloaded, check off each item on your list. Examine furniture for damage and settle your bill. - If you have children underfoot, open a box containing their toys and books. - Ensure utilities are in working order. - Sit back with the comforting beverage of your choice, ignore the disarray and feel proud.

insideradvice

Condo Rentals vs Apartment Rentals What You Need to KNoW before You decide By Sheryl Erenberg Along with the exploion of condo construction has come a lot of investors, buying up suites and then renting them out. While these seem like a great alternative to residential rental buildings, these new condo rental suites differ from dedicated rentals. When deciding where to live there are a few things to consider, beyond location and price. There is no limit to the rent increase your landlord can ask after your first year. Assuming the condo you rent was built after 1998, it is exempt from the Annual Rent Increase Guideline that governs rental properties in Ontario under the Residential Tenancies Act. To be clear, an owner of any unit built after 1998, can increase your rent as much as they choose. You’d better hope that the rental market has not significantly tightened since you last renewed your lease! You will be sacrificing space. Generally speaking, condos are smaller because they were built more recently, land was more expensive and to keep units affordable, builders have had to reduce the size of the suite. Compared to apartment rentals, the difference in square footage is about 25 to 30 per cent. You may feel like a second-class citizen in your own home. The sad truth is that owner-occupiers of condos are not thrilled with having a rental population in the building. They think tenants are more transient and cause more wear and tear on common areas, don’t participate in the management of the building (which is essential to condominiums) and don’t treat and respect the property as if it were their own. After the first year, you can be asked to leave if the owner wants to sell. Condos rarely give you long-term peace of mind. Your tenancy is directly related to the condo market and resale value. Keep this in mind before you spend a lot of money decorating. In-suite repairs can take longer to complete. Owner-investors do not have a team of tradesmen on speed dial and most are not professionally managed. Getting repairs done in your condo is not as easy as leaving a note for the on-site superintendent. of a rental building. Even if there is a super in the condo, he or she is not responsible for anything in the suite. You will need to track down the owner of your condo, and they will need to call the right contractor. You may get the owner’s brother-in-law to fix the faucet or you may get a professional plumber. You may be told to have the item repaired yourself and deduct it from the rent. 46G

Condo owners have a stricter definition of “wear and tear”. Condo renters report landlords being very strict about returning the unit to its original condition. This has included repainting walls to their original white and being asked to repair drywall from nail holes. This may be an indication of an owner’s inexperience in the rental industry or simply an unwillingness to budget for regular repairs and maintenance for the property. Many condos do not allow pets. Pets provide stress reduction, companionship, affection, comfort security and unconditional love to their owners. Why would you even think about moving without your best friend? Most apartments, on the other hand, welcome your furry friends. Sheryl Erenberg is president of Sheryl Erenberg and Associates.

HOW TO SAVE ON RENT:

Comparing a bachelor to a roommate BY JANE HERMAN

our rent is probably the biggest single expense you pay each month. A nice one-bedroom apartment can cost $1,000 per month or more, depending on the location. Is there a way you can creatively live within your means and still enjoy the comfort of your surroundings?

52G

One good option is to consider a smaller apartment than you might have had in mind: for example, if you were initially thinking of a two bedroom, opt for a one bedroom. Or take a bachelor instead of a one bedroom. If you’re living alone, a bachelor can be an excellent and affordable rental option. Bachelors tend to run about three-quarters of the cost of a one bedroom. A bachelor on the ground floor of a luxury building can offer the same benefits as it does to the tenant who lives in a larger apartment in the same building such as good location, professional management, attractive lobby, underground parking, laundry facilities, good closets, and upgraded suite with renovated kitchen and bathroom. And the best surprise of all is that the rent could be considerably less! With some creative furnishing, you can arrange your apartment to serve as a comfortable sitting/eating/ living space by day, and sleeping suite by night. If your monthly rent

Term vs Permanent

INSURANCE B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE

eople think insurance is a ripoff and expensive. It doesn’t have to be. Let’s use the example of $300,000 in insurance on a man (since they’re more expensive) who doesn’t smoke. If you were to buy a 20-year term policy, protecting your family from age 25 to 45, the premium would be only $287 a year, or less than $24 a month. Hey, we’re talking a case of beer here. Wait until you’re 39 to buy the same policy and your costs go up to almost $400 a year, which isn’t exactly a budget killer, unless you want a permanent insurance policy. Then the difference in the numbers is more signiﬁcant. Buy a permanent policy at 25 and you’ll pay about $1645 a year or $137 a month. Wait until you’re 39 and the price goes up to $3025 a year or $252 a month.

66G

So, is term insurance better than permanent (whole life or universal) insurance? Whether you buy“term,”“whole life”or“universal life”insurance will be dependent on two primary factors: the amount of insurance you need, and how long you need that insurance to be in place. Term insurance provides protection for a predetermined period of time (perhaps 5, 10, or 20 years) or until a certain age. However, many term insurance plans end at a specific age, such as 65, 70 or 75. With men and women living considerably past that age, if you’re looking for longer-term protection, term insurance won’t cut it. With term insurance, when the term of the contract expires your coverage ends unless you renew the term. Each time the term is renewed,

the premium is adjusted upwards. So on the term policy above for the guy who bought a 20-year term at age 29, if he needed to renew for another ten years, the premium would jump from $304 to $552. Think of term insurance as an expense, like rent. While it will give you comfort and peace of mind, it accumulates no residual value. If you want coverage to last your lifetime or want to use insurance to build assets, term insurance isn’t the right choice. Term insurance is cheaper than permanent insurance, but that’s because the statistics are in favour of the insurance company with term insurance. With permanent insurance the company is going to have to pay out, it’s only a matter of when. Whole life and universal life insurance are permanent, remaining in place until death. With whole life policies, the insurance company does the investing. (People debate that they don’t do a very good job of it, but they are purposely conservative, and with the recent swings in the market, you can see why.) With universal life, you have much more control over the types of investments the money is going into. The premium is generally the same for the life of the policy, so the annual cost can be low if taken early in life (when the risk of death is low), or very high if taken late in life. If term insurance is rent, then permanent insurance is a mortgage payment; in the early years there isn’t a lot of asset accumulation, but over the long term the pot will grow nicely. Most whole life policies have a “reserve,” which can be refunded if you cancel the policy before your death. This reserve is referred to as the cash value of the plan. You can also borrow against this cash value at an interest rate set in the policy. However, if you haven’t paid it back, the money owed will be deducted from the death benefit. So, back to the question,“What kind of insurance should I buy?”The best place to start is with the amount of coverage you need. Let’s say you’ll need $125,000 to pay off your mortgage, $5,000 to

cover your funeral expenses, $15,000 to cover legal and accounting bills, and an additional $100,000 to cover the capital gains your estate will be hit with. All together, you’ll need about $245,000. Buying a policy with a lower payout clearly won’t serve your needs. The next thing to look at is how long you’ll need the coverage. Some of your needs may be short-term. Declining term insurance is often the most cost-effective way to cover mortgage debt. On the other hand, the need to meet your funeral expenses and minimize the tax hit on your estate is permanent. So permanent insurance will be your best bet here. Remember, since the premium on your permanent insurance will remain the same, while the premium on term insurance will rise each time the policy is renewed, the cost of term insurance will appear far less expensive in the early years of a policy. Compare the lifetime cost of both types of policies (remember to compare similar features and benefits – apples and apples), and then make your decision. Another interesting fact: with some policies, you can buy the right to convert

your term policy to a whole life policy at a later date. So if you decide to start off with term insurance to protect your young family, and then decide to convert to a whole life policy when your needs change and you have more money, your health won’t be a factor in setting the premiums. However, your age will be and the older you are the more your insurance will cost. Shop around when looking for life insurance. Get several quotes, make sure you’re comparing apples with apples, and buy the policy that best meets your needs. Resist the urge to over-buy, but don’t sell yourself, and your family, short either. Evaluate your future earning potential and your family’s ongoing needs realistically, take inflation into account, and then buy enough insurance to meet your needs.

Get organized by spring

cleaning the bedroom by yanic simard

PHOTO BY TED YARWOOD

It’s your favourIte tIme of year. It’s time for spring cleaning, which means it’s time to clear the clutter and get organized! Bedroom organizing is often last on the list because it’s a room that not many people see, but it should really be a priority because having this room under control will make your life a whole lot easier. And I’ll admit it – usually I’m the one who procrastinates until I have no choice but to do it! There are so many hiding spots and creative storage ideas for those items that don’t have a “home.”

84G

Under the bed What’s under your bed? If your bed doesn’t have fixed drawers already, make your own “closet on wheels” by attaching casters to wooden boxes. Paint them or stain them to match the colour of your bed to make them disappear into the furniture. electronics drawer Dedicate one drawer in one of your night stands to charge your cell phone, MP3 player, headset and the like. Cut a small hole in the back of the bedside table to feed wires of the chargers through, and be sure there is an outlet close by. Close the drawer and the mess is gone! Jewelry & accessory storage There are many beautiful jewelry boxes and holders that look great on a dresser, if you’ve got the room. If you consider yourself crafty, try making your own!

PHOTO BY lEni jOHnsTOn

DIy Project All you need is an old cabinet door and some kitchen cabinetry hardware: knobs, pulls and hooks. Mount the assorted hardware to the cabinet door as you please and voilà! It’s a beautiful display piece for necklaces, which can hang on the knobs, earrings can rest on the pulls, and bracelets can dangle from the hooks. Mount it to your wall and it can double as artwork. umbra’s Little Black Dress (pictured above) is another smart and savvy way to store your bling. Shaped just like your little black dress, it’s got clear pockets all over it for storage, and it can all be hung in your closet – out of sight, our of mind, until you need it! the power of pegboard Vertical space is often wasted space, and in the closet there is a ton of it! Installing pegboard to the walls in your closet will give you so much added storage you never even knew you had. Add hooks or nails to the pegboard, which will serve as spots to hang your belts, purses and scarves. Paint the pegboard the same colour as your walls for a seamless look. seasonal clothing It won’t be long before the summer clothes will be coming out, which means the winter clothes will need to be stored away. Have you ever thought of using your travel luggage as a storage place for these bulky items? When the seasons change, do the switch! it’s all an illUsion Taking five minutes out of every day to complete simple tasks in the bedroom like making the beds, keeping drawers and doors shut, and neatly folding linens and clothes. This will make your bedroom appear to be a lot more organized and a lot less cluttered.

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

Crisp and clear Blue Ice is a perfect partner to Lemon Sorbet. These softer hues bring a high-fashion feel to the home.

{ PSSST! { VAUGHAN MILLS â€“ MORE OF A GOOD THING An $87-million expansion and redevelopment project is slated to begin this spring at the Vaughan Mills shopping centre. The expansion will add approximately 150,000 sq. ft. to the mall to accommodate 50 new retailers. Once construction is complete, we can expect to see an entirely newly-designed entertainment court that will build off the existing â€œDiscover Ontario" theme, renovations to the common areas and the food court, a highly visible and distinctive new entrance and 450 new parking stalls for a total of more than 6,500 stalls. Vaughan Mills General Manager, Stephen Gascoine says, "We are thrilled to bring the exceptional shopping experience at Vaughan Mills to a whole new level." With more than 60 per cent of Ontario's population living within 100 kilometres of the mall, Ontarians will certainly welcome this expansion to an already favourite shopping destination.

Transform a room inexpensively with paint

he experts at Benjamin Moore say spring is the most popular time of year to refresh our homes with paint. Sharon Grech, the company’s colour and design expert explains how transforming the look with paint is a budget friendly way to update an interior:

1) “Paint has such transformative power,” she begins.“With a bit of planning and some elbow grease it can completely update a room’s look without breaking the bank. You might not change your paint colour every season, but if you’re influenced by spring, look at fresh, soft colours like Hidden Cove or Sweet Cream. Both are easily accented by fashion forward pastels like Sagebrush or Lime Sherbet.” 2) Who doesn’t love beautiful art for the walls? Big, beautiful pieces can make a huge impact, but can also be costly. A great alternative is to hang a mirror with a stylish frame. A mirror can fill the wall with a decorative accent while reflecting light and opening up the space. It’s a designer trick that’s been used for years and doesn’t cost a fortune. 3) De-clutter. Get rid of the items that are weighing the space down. Collect books and other odds and ends lying around the house. Organize all these items in collections that work together in the room. Keep half of everything and let friends and family treasure hunt through the rest. More advice on this topic can be found online at BenjaminMoore.ca or by visiting a local retailer. NC

HOW TO AWAKEN the entrepreneurial spirit in our children

ntrepreneurship is one of Canada’s greatest strengths. Parents can help accelerate the growth of young people by providing them with the experience and expertise needed to become successful entrepreneurs – and business leaders can help with specialized and focussed attention. For example, through Junior Achievement activities, such as Company Program, students are developing the core business skills necessary to become successful and creative leaders of tomorrow. The organization’s programs enable a better understanding of the role small business plays in Canada, and of the positive impact entrepreneurship has on communities.

“Junior Achievement provided me with the tools and skills needed to focus on who I want to be,” said Mansoor Hassan, a previous Junior Achievement student. “The Company Program allows you gain self-confidence, learn leadership skills and make mistakes. This is a foundation of skills that I will take with me no matter what career or industry, I am in.” Young entrepreneurs must have a high level of passion, commitment, curiosity and self-confidence. They must embrace innovative and creative thinking, and thrive in a dynamic and ever-changing world. In addition, in order to be successful, they need a foundation of knowledge about money management, the role of business in our society and the important role technology plays. The entrepreneurial spirit must be supported to fully bring it to life. Junior Achievement helps to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit. A recent independent Boston Consulting Group study completed to assess the impact of Junior Achievement’s mission showed that 70 per cent of achievers indicate that participation in a Junior Achievement of Canada program had a significant impact on their desire to be an entrepreneur. It also showed that Junior Achievers are 50 per cent

more likely to open their own business which leads to innovation, new jobs, and wealth creation. In fact, alumni launch 6,500 companies a year, at a rate 50 per cent higher than the Canadian average. With their parent’s direction, support and optimism, youth can experience the power of entrepreneurship. Does your child have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur? Check yes to all of the following characteristics that your child has. (

) Perseverance

(

) Innovative thinking

(

) Self-confidence

(

) Action-oriented

(

) Excellent communication skills

(

) Specific knowledge about their potential business

If you answered yes to three more entrepreneurial characteristics, your child may be an entrepreneur in the making. More information on entrepreneurship is available online at www.jacan.org. NC

moving

TO PACK,

OR NOT TO PACK â€Ś

BY DAN HOPKINS

Moving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service. Take packing, for example. Some clients want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turn key solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose whatâ€™s best for you.

THE PROFESSIONAL PACKER Most who choose to pack themselves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing. The most critical element in packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to your new home or business. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed well, but may shift inside the carton and break or chip as a result. Professional packers have the experience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and they pack accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first. Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced.

THE DIY PACKER At Two Men and a Truck, trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking

as required, and we sell a full range of packing supplies. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful move. There are also significant considerations to keep in mind, such as not packing explosive or flammable items in the general boxes. Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry. Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers, newsprint, markers, pads and bubble wrap â€“ and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5 cubic-foot box that is often referred to as a book or record box. Itâ€™s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lampshade box, which is 3 cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and 6 cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the moving materials that are available today. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing topnotch service.

quicktips

a place and a space for everything by HELLEN BUTTIGIEG

WHETHER YOU HAVE A SPRAWLING HOME WITH plenty

of room or a cosy place that has little in the way of extra space, you need to create a system so that your home functions in a manner that accommodates your lifestyle needs. And whether you live large or small, chances are there’s a favourite spot in your home that sees more than its fair share of action. It’s a corner of the sofa you curl up in, or a spot at the breakfast counter that has a pile of things you want to get to ‘when you have a minute’ that could use a little bit of help. Without designated spaces you’re forever tucking things away that don’t have a real home – and wasting far too much time trying to remember where and when you go to retrieve them. Develop a place for each activity you do and space to keep those items that go with it to add some organization to your home – and your life! Everyone needs a home office. Are you using your kitchen or dining room table as an office? It can be frustrating and time consuming to constantly have to pack up your papers and bring them out again. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a student or a homemaker, you need a space in your home specifically designated for processing paperwork. Although it would be ideal to have a room devoted entirely to this purpose, you can also use an armoire in the family room that closes up when not in use, or a closet that has been refitted with a countertop and drawers. You’ll also need good lighting, a comfortable chair, and a functional filing system. Where did I put the... Have you ever stored a special item in a safe place and then forgotten where you put it when you need it three months later? A simple solution is to create a document in MS Word or a similar program on your computer to record the location of seldom-used articles. Use the ‘find’ feature in Word (located in the Edit drop-down menu) to retrieve the information quickly within the document. Be sure to name the document something obvious so you can find it on your computer. Name that room. Rooms that don’t have a specific purpose often become dumping grounds for clutter. Before you begin de-cluttering, go through your home, room by room, and determine how you want to use each space. Identify which items support the purpose of the room and which ones should be moved elsewhere. Keep a few boxes handy so you can easily transport smaller items to their appropriate rooms.

A shoe-in for office supply storage. Use the pockets of a clear vinyl shoe bag to hold just about everything you need for the office, from spare scissors to extra batteries. These usually come with hooks you can use to hang them over the door, allowing you to tap into previously unused space. Everything needs a home. Whenever you bring a new item into your home, immediately find a permanent place for it to live. To help you determine the best spot for it, ask yourself what else is like it, and where (and how often) you will use it. Store similar things together and store items near their place of use. Items used daily should be placed in the most accessible areas (within arm’s reach), whereas seldom-used items can be stored in out-of-the way spaces. Keep a label maker handy to label drawers, shelves and containers so you don’t have to rely on your memory when you need to find something quickly. What did I do with that manual? Did you add new appliances and electronics to your collection recently? Staple the receipt and warranty to the instruction manual and tape it to the bottom of the item so it’s easy to find if you need to refer to it. For portable items like cell phones and MP3 players, store the manuals in an accordion file by category. Where did I leave my keys? The most common excuse for lateness? “I couldn’t find my keys”. It’s hard to be successful if you can’t even leave your home. Save yourself the frustration and embarrassment by simply making an extra set of keys and keeping them in a special place. Give another set to a relative or neighbour in case of emergency. Create a home for your keys and always place them there when you arrive. You can use a bowl, a small basket or a hook. If all else fails, attach a beeper to your keys that you can activate when they go missing.

Call in the Romans for that classic-tailored look

The Romans are on the march in home décor.

“I felt like a kid in a candy store when I opened our new sample book,” says Mary Dobson, spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada and also a guest expert on CityLine. “There is so much to choose from, and it’s all beautiful. The stripes in particular set my imagination reeling with the possibilities.” In the past, when creating a traditional roman shade you required traditional sewing skills. But Mike Muyal, director of marketing for Levolor, assures that this is no longer the case.“Levolor has always offered a custom shade making service, and it applies to all the types of shades we offer, including romans,” he explains. “Homeowners can select their preferred combination of face and lining fabric, hobbled or flat style, cordless or standard operation, and many other details of trim and installation, and have the finished shade delivered to their home. It’s a popular service that is helping to bring the well-tailored look of romans to windows throughout the home.”

here was a time when one would confine roman shades to the important rooms of the house – the dining room and the master bedroom, perhaps. But that’s all changing as the traditional roman shade – hobbled – is joined by the modern flat version with its well-

tailored look. Now, you can indulge in roman shades in any room in the house, choosing from an exciting and growing range of fabrics to carry your room style though to the windows.

Although it is possible to review new products and colours and options on line, Mary Dobson strongly recommends working through an independent retailer, or selected home-improvement retailers, whose experienced decorators will help ensure a perfect fit and hassle-free installation. More information is available online at www.levolor.ca. NC

What to look for in an apartment BY JANE HERMAN

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

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

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

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

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

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

P P

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

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

P P P P P P P P P

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

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

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

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

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

GENERAL MOVING TIPS

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

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

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

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

Who really manages household debt?

Men and women have different opinions, suggests Manulife Bank survey

According to Manulife Bank of Canada’s recent debt survey, just over half of women (54 per cent) but only 39 per cent of men in two-adult households indicate that responsibility is equally shared when it comes to managing household debt. In cases where respondents don’t feel responsibility is equally shared, both men and women are far more likely to indicate that the responsibility lies with them rather than with their partner. Slightly over half (56 per cent) of men and a third of women (36 per cent) state that household debt is managed by“mostly me” or “only me.” Conversely, only 10 per cent of women and four per cent of men indicate that household debt is managed by “mostly my partner”or “only my partner.” Interestingly, virtually no men indicate debt is managed by“only my partner.”

Differing perceptions about who is responsible for debt-management within the relationship could reflect a lack of communication, making it difficult for homeowners to become debt-free. “The good news is that, in general, most people feel they have some responsibility for managing household debt,”shared Doug Conick, President and CEO of Manulife Bank of Canada.“However, the results seem to indicate that many couples might not be discussing debt with one another. I strongly recommend that any Canadians who don’t have a plan for becoming debt-free reach out to an independent financial advisor for personalized debt management advice.” The survey also looked at attitudes by age group and found that respondents in their fifties are more likely to report shared responsibility for debt management (52 per cent) while those in their thirties are less likely to do so (43 per cent). Regionally, Quebec (53 per cent) and Alberta (52 per cent) homeowners were most likely to indicate shared responsibility for managing debt

while Ontario (42 per cent) homeowners were least likely to do so. Women are more concerned about debt, less optimistic In general, women appear to be more concerned about debt, but at the same time they are less confident about being able to reduce or eliminate it. Slightly more women (81 per cent) than men (75 per cent) listed “being or becoming debtfree”as a top financial priority. Men and women place relatively equal importance on being debt-free at retirement - with about eight in 10 indicating this is a high priority. However, more men (55 per cent) than women (49 per cent) are confident that they’ll achieve that goal. This perception may be influenced by recent experience, with fewer women (47 per cent) than men (54 per cent) indicating a reduction in debt over the past 12 months. Moreover, women appear to be more averse to the idea of retiring with debt outstanding - 60 per cent indicate they would find this scenario very stressful compared to just 42 per cent of men.“In

many households there’s a discrepancy in attitudes, perceptions and expectations between couples with regards to debt, likely because they are either managing their own personal debt separately or just aren’t talking enough to one another about finances,” added Mr. Conick. The survey found that the desire to be debt-free at retirement is relatively consistent across Canada. However, respondents in BC and Quebec (each at 57 per cent) are most confident about achieving that goal while residents of Atlantic Canada (44 per cent) are least confident. Debt-reduction is a priority and most are willing to reduce spending - just not on technology More than three quarters (77 per cent) of Canadian homeowners indicate that it’s very important for them to reduce their debt in the next 12 months, but only 56 per cent feel they’re likely

household furnishings/appliances (42 per cent) and dining out (41 per cent). “Finding and reducing non-essential expenses is a good first step in tackling debt.”said Mr. Conick. “Another great strategy is to make your money work harder by organizing your finances more efficiently.” The survey found that nearly a third (31 per cent) of homeowners list the interest rate on their debt as a factor making it difficult for them to become debt-free. “Given our current low interest-rate environment, an easy way for many homeowners to reduce interest costs might be to simply consolidate their debt at a lower rate.” While respondents in all regions indicate they are least willing to cut back on phone/internet/cable, they differ somewhat on which discretionary expenses they are most willing to reduce spending. Atlantic Canadians (50 per cent) and Ontarians (44 per cent) are

Men and women have different perceptions on who manages household debt A lack of communication could make it difficult for households to become debt-free Women more concerned about debt and less confident about reducing it Despite a desire to reduce debt, remaining “wired in” important to Canadians to achieve this goal. This relative lack of confidence may reflect experience over the past year. Nearly a quarter of respondents (24 per cent) report an increase in debt over the past 12 months and a further 15 per cent report no change in their debt over that time frame. Regionally, homeowners from BC (56 per cent) and Atlantic Canada (54 per cent) are the most likely to report a reduction in debt over the past 12 months. Homeowners in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the most likely to report an increase in debt over the past year (30 per cent). When asked what types of discretionary spending they would be willing to cut back on if it would help them become debt-free sooner, only 12 per cent of homeowners would be willing to cut back on phone/internet/ cable services - reflecting the increasingly “wired in” nature of our society. At the other end of the spectrum, the discretionary spending categories people are most willing to cut back are

most willing to cut back on dining out. In Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, 48 per cent indicated they’d be willing to cut back on household furnishings/ appliances. Women and men differ somewhat in this area as well. Women are more apt to reduce spending on household furnishings (45 per cent), dining out (44 per cent) and entertainment (39 per cent) than men (40 per cent, 37 per cent and 32 per cent respectively). The overall results of this survey seems to be that the goal is to ”want to be debt-free, but that they’re not necessarily talking with one another about how to get there,”remarked Mr. Conick.“To avoid carrying debt into their pre-retirement and retirement years, it’s important to get a debt-management plan in place.” About the Manulife Bank of Canada Debt Survey The Manulife Bank of Canada poll surveyed 2,127 Canadian homeowners in all provinces

between ages 30 to 59 with household income of more than $50,000. The survey was conducted online by Research House, an Environics company, between August 13-23, 2012. Full survey results, including additional regional, gender and age-group comparisons, are available at manulifebank.ca/debtresearch.

10 TIPS

for safe spring cleaning

s warmer weather and longer days set in, thoughts turn to the promise of spring – and the responsibilities of spring cleaning. As you pull the mops, scrub brushes and buckets out of the closet this year, experts tell us to focus on the chores at hand and keep your physical safety top of mind. “While it might not seem a particularly dangerous undertaking, spring cleaning can cause injuries to you or your loved ones,” says James Savage, executive vice president at Western Financial Group.“Slowing down to think about what you’re doing and make some common-sense adjustments can save you trips to the local emergency department.” Savage offers a checklist of spring cleaning safety measures: 1. Pace yourself. Accidents are much more likely to happen when you are tired or rushing. 2. Be cautious when using a ladder or step stool. Always stay at or below the highest safe standing level.

3. Warn everyone in the house when floors are wet. 4. Keep high-traffic areas, stairs and landings free of clutter and cleaning equipment. 5. Don’t leave buckets of water (a drowning hazard) around the house, especially if you have small children or pets. 6. Use appropriate lifting technique when moving furniture or other heavy objects. Bend at the knees, lift with your legs and don’t twist as you lift. 7. When carrying loads up or down stairs, make sure you can see over the top of each load and that you have one hand free for the railing. 8. Use nontoxic, environmentally friendly cleaning products whenever possible and always follow the safety guidelines on product labels, including wearing gloves or a mask when advised. Be aware that combining products, such as ammonia and bleach, can create dangerous toxic fumes. 9. Go through your cabinets to dispose of unneeded products and to make sure that anything labeled as a poison or danger to children is locked up. 10. Remember that this is a great time to test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors and to replace their batteries. NC

Safety Above All BY TED WHITEHEAD

ne of the most basic things a consumer should expect when renting an apartment is that the building provides a relatively safe place to call home. That includes the landlord and/or property manager ensuring adherence to provincial fire and building codes.

Those whose buildings earn certification through the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) pledge to uphold the Standards of Practice outlined by the program, and building safety is an important part of that commitment. The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) launched the CRBP as part of its mandate to advocate for quality rental housing. There are more than 36 different standards of practice that a building and property manager must clearly be able to demonstrate before they can be entered into the program. Examples that can affect fire safety include rigorous adherence to regular building cleaning schedules, effective communications with tenants when building repairs are necessary, properly maintained elevators, wellmaintained heating and cooling equipment, annual suite inspections and an ongoing education program for staff. Ontario residents are protected by the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997 (FPPA), which was proclaimed provincial law on October 29, 1997.

The Ontario Fire Code is a regulation under the FPPA. Among the many elements addressed in the Code are access to and number of building exits and fire escapes, the safe installation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing infrastructure, elevators, stairwell, fire and smoke alarms, and the like. Renters who choose a CRBP building have the peace of mind in knowing that J.D. Power and Associates serves as the auditor for the program. The use of this independent thirdparty auditor introduces a level of credibility that rental-housing consumers can rely on. Again, all buildings entered into the program that are subsequently granted “Certified Rental Building” status have successfully demonstrated compliance and adherence with the Standards of Practice. Remember, too, that fire safety is also the responsibility of individual renters. No program or organization can monitor what goes on inside every apartment, and building owners and property managers should be able to count on their tenants’ vigilance when it comes to

avoiding fire mishaps. For example, leaving burning candles unattended is one of the most common causes of house and apartment fires. Smoking carelessly and forgetting about food cooking on the stove are others. Taking care goes beyond tenants protecting themselves, to keeping the building safer for all the residents within, and helping to protect the investment of the building owners – the people who provide a home for the renters. If you want to learn more about Ontario Fire Code, visit www.ofm. gov.on.ca/english/Legislation/legreg. asp, through which you can access safety pamphlets created specifically for tenants of apartment buildings. And if you are not aware of the fire safety features in your building, ask your property owner/manager. When you rent in a CRBP building, you know the owner and/or property manager understand and pledge to uphold the legal and moral aspects of operating rental accommodations. This includes fire safety. Visit www.crbprogram.org.

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

décor

Choose multi-functional products with hidden technology and beautiful design to create a modern feel. Think televisions hidden in cabinets, speakers mounted behind the wall, and sleek kitchen faucets with a hidden sprayer. Technology that seamlessly blends into a space will always feel new. Consider incorporating accessories in shades such as clean green, saffron, ocean blue, and magenta to create a soothing atmosphere that will never feel tired. “Adding sleek pieces in a colour that you’ll always love – rather than a trendy colour – makes your style timeless, not to mention wallet-friendly,”says Jo Alcorn, a Toronto-based interior design expert. Update fabrics to those that feature timeless geometric designs, overlapping layers, or stripes. All of these can instantly make a home more contemporary without a large investment. Sleek and simple architectural details add maximum design impact and can become the focal point in any room.

Create

a timeless look in your home

ike fashion, interior design trends change with the seasons. Each month, different colours and patterns become the new “it” look, inspiring us to overhaul our home décor.

Keeping up with the latest looks can be challenging, not to mention expensive. That’s why it’s important to remember that keeping your home décor modern isn’t so much about buying trendy furniture as it is about being practical. Invest in timeless pieces that are suited to your lifestyle and create a calm environment. Delta Faucet, a leader in beautifying home interiors, offers the following tips to make sure your space will always feel fresh:

“Paying attention to your hardware including cabinet handles, light fixtures and even faucets can play a huge role in making your place look more modern,” says Alcorn. For instance, the strong, angular lines of the Vero lavatory faucet bring a sense of urban sophistication to the bathroom. See more at deltafaucet. ca. When considering furniture, look for pieces with glass or painted wood, and materials like coloured acrylic, fibreglass, and chrome. These features will ensure your choices stand the test of time. Nothing dates a space like clutter. Organize and store – or even neatly display – magazines, newspapers, and books. Electronic cords should be off the floor and not visible to keep your room looking neat and clean. NC

POTATO Lasagna

astes like the Italian-style favourite, except that instead of pasta this version uses sliced Ontario Yukon Gold potatoes. A satisfying meal that’s quick and easy for kids and parents to prepare. Adult peels and slices potatoes. Older kids can par-cook potatoes in microwave and cook ground beef. All kids can layer ingredients in baking dish.

MAKES 8 TO 10 SERVINGS INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. (500 g) lean ground beef

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C).

1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano ½ tsp (3 mL) chopped garlic (pre-chopped from jar or chopped by adult) 2 lb. (1 kg) Ontario Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 1 tbsp (15 mL) all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups (375 mL) tomato sauce 1 ½ cups (375 mL) cottage cheese 1 egg 1/3 cup (75 mL) grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional) 1 cup (4 oz. /100 g) grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses

In fry pan, cook ground beef on medium heat, breaking up pieces with back of wooden spoon or spatula. Stir in oregano and garlic. Remove from heat. Set aside. Place sliced potatoes in bottom of 2.5-quart (2.35 L) baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap. Heat on high eight minutes or until potatoes in middle of dish are tender when pierced with a fork. Use oven mitts when removing cover. Be careful, steam from bowl is hot. Sprinkle flour on top of potatoes. In a bowl, mix cooked ground beef mixture with tomato sauce and spread over top. In bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg and Parmesan cheese. Spread over tomato sauce layer. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheeses over cottage cheese layer. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is lightly browned and sauce is bubbling at edges. Let stand five minutes before serving. NC

HI-TECH COMBO-ALARM sounds for smoke and gas leaks

hile your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms silently go about their business day-in and day-out – unless there is danger – the company that sells the most of these life-saving devices in Canada is busy finding ways to make them better and last longer.

Market leader Kidde says it has recently introduced two advanced combination smoke and CO alarms that are Canadian firsts. These new “intelligent” combo alarms react more quickly to real fires while at the same time are better able to differentiate between false alarms and the real thing. One unit is battery powered, while the other is hardwired with a battery back up in case of a power outage. They take direct aim at a major consumer complaint of all alarms – that they go off too easily if you burn the toast or the turkey. For carbon monoxide alarms, consumers often find it confusing that they need to be replaced every seven years while smoke alarms need replacing every 10 years. So in both these new Kidde combination alarms, the smoke and carbon monoxide sensors feature the same 10-year lifespan and 10year warranty. “Innovations that make alarms smarter and last over 40 per cent longer are an industry breakthrough,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist at Kidde. “We have been protecting Canadian families since 1917 and with technology advancements such as these we will continue to do so.” More information and fire safety tips are available online at www.kiddecanada.com and www.safeathome.ca.

Women

ARE KEY FINANCIAL DRIVERS

or more than a century the financial services industry has focused on men as the primary target for individual insurance and retirement savings. The tide has changed as women have surpassed men in their educational careers. A Statistics Canada report from 2007 stated that 61.5 per cent of undergraduate degrees and 54.6 per cent of masterâ€™s degrees are held by women. As a result, women have become the dominant economic force in our society. According to Mike Aziz, vice president of sales at Desjardins Financial Security, womenâ€™s purchasing power extends to all areas because they tend to control of most of these decisions for themselves, their families and other dependents. In fact, women influence: t QFS DFOU PG IPNF QVSDIBTFT t QFS DFOU PG IFBMUI TQFOEJOH t QFS DFOU PG GJOBODJBM EFDJTJPOT Actually according to a study by the Boston Consulting Group, Canadian women control 67.2 per cent of all household spending. Thatâ€™s a lot of purchasing power in our economy. â€œWhatâ€™s interesting is that while many women today are able to assert their independence through their lifestyle and career choices, many still find personal financial planning to be very stressful,â€? said Janey Leslie, a certified financial planner with Desjardins Financial Security. â€œStatistically, women live longer than men,

they play a key role in family care-giving and decision-making, but they are often in a more vulnerable financial position. So, itâ€™s essential that women create a financial plan that can support their current and future needs and lifestyle.â€?

Curry gives VEGETARIAN DISHES A KICK

egetarian food is more than just salad. Great vegetarian dishes can be savoury, sweet or even spicy. For your next vegetarian nosh, take inspiration from the East and experiment with easy curries for a dish that will even please meat lovers.

CHICK PEA CURRY PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES SERVING: 4 LOW: 3-4 HOURS, HIGH: 1 ½ - 2 HOURS INGREDIENTS: 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp Patak’s Original Tikka Cooking Paste 1 tbsp Patak’s Original Madras Curry Paste 1 can (540 mL) diced tomatoes, drained 1 can (540 mL) chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1/2 tsp granulated sugar 3/4 cup water 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro Patak’s Naan Bread

DIRECTIONS: In a medium non-stick skillet, heat oil over mediumhigh heat. Add onions and sauté for three to four minutes or until lightly golden brown. Transfer to Crock-Pot and add the cooking sauce, curry paste tomatoes, chickpeas, sugar and water; stir to combine.

Remember, simmering is key when it comes to creating a great curry dish. Allowing the spices to infuse all of the ingredients in the dish creates an extra dimension of flavour.

Cover and cook on high for one-and-a-half to two hours or on low, three to four hours until hot and bubbling.

For best results, simmer your meal to perfection slowly without having to watch the stove with a Crock-Pot branded slow cooker The only thing you’ll need to do is pick up enough Naan bread to accompany the dish.

Serve garnished with cilantro and warm Naan bread. More family recipes and product information can be found online at crock-pot.ca. NC

Following your dreams

TOP PRIORITY FOR 2013 A generation of Canadians are realizing their potential According to a recent study, 2013 will be the year that many Canadians keep their New Year’s resolutions. Over eight in 10 (83 per cent) are striving to learn new things this year, as a sense of fulfilment is top priority for Canadians in 2013. The survey, conducted on behalf of American Express Canada, looked at how adults feel about following their dreams and realizing their true potential, as well as whether their definition of success has shifted over time. The findings reveal Canadians are willing to make significant personal and professional sacrifices this year to make their dreams come true. “It’s clear Canadians are starting to define success based on their passions and dreams, rather than simply their career status,” David Barnes, VP of Communications at American Express, says. “I think we can look forward to many Canadians realizing their potential in the New Year.”

The survey further reveals that Canadian priorities might be shifting away from traditional notions of success. It notes that 32 per cent of Canadians have changed careers at least once in favour of a greater work/life balance, and 27 per cent have taken time off of work to travel the world. This points to an underlying cultural shift where Canadians are prioritizing their dreams over work and career. NC
