Home and Garden, from the Rockies to the St . Lawrence
OTTAWA, TORONTO, CALGARY: New homes, and new or renewed forms of homes, are a year-round attachment of Canadian home-and-garden journalism. Generating newspaper attention recently was the growing appreciation for the townhouse in Ottawa, top; the showhome of a highrise-development in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, above left; and a showhome for a tract-housing development in north Calgary. You can learn a lot about your town when you read the out-of-town newspapers. Consider this, from the Ottawa Citizen townhouse story: "To a large extent, their proliferation comes from the maturing of Ottawa as an urban centre and the municipality's professed commitment to housing intensification to combat urban sprawl."

An example would be a purse made out of woven candy wrappers." It must have considerable currency in Calgary, if this introduction to a Herald story on used-items stores is a guide: 'Don't have just the right upcycle elements hanging around your baserment.? Check out local flea markets, second-hand shops . . . ."
