National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Orange Shirt Day was first established as an observance in 2013, as part of an effort to promote awareness and education of the residential school system and the impact it has had on Indigenous communities for over a century. The impact of the residential school system has been recognized as a cultural genocide, and continues to this day. The use of an orange shirt as a symbol was inspired by the accounts of Phyllis Jack Webstad, whose personal clothing—including a new orange shirt—was taken from her during her first day of residential schooling, and never returned. The orange shirt is thus used as a symbol of the forced assimilation of Indigenous children that the residential…

City of Calgary, Oct. 1, 2021 – Residential sales totalled 2,162 in September, nearing the record high for the month recorded in 2005. Further gains in new listings likely supported some of the sales growth that occurred this month.

“While sales activity in the fall tends to be slower than in the spring months, the continued strong sales are likely being driven by consumers who were unable to transact earlier in the year when supply levels had not yet adjusted to demand,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “The market continues to favour the seller, but conditions are not as tight as they were earlier this year.”

Inventory levels in September eased to 5,607 units, keeping the months of supply below three months. However, there is…

Care and Maintenance of Roofs, Gutters and Siding

 

Roofs

Asphalt roofing will last about 15 years, so it’s important that it is properly maintained to get the most out of your roof.

Once per year, check the roof and take care of any issues that might cause major damage down the road. If you can, hire a professional to inspect the roof. You can get on a ladder to do it yourself, but make sure that safety is the number one priority. In some cases, you can check for any issues from ground level by using binoculars.

Things to look for:


Buckling, curling, broken, or missing shingles: Single shingles can easily be replaced.
Cracked rubber boots around the vent piping
Any moss or lichen indicating roof decay
Cracked caulking and rust around the…

City of Calgary, Sept. 1, 2021 

Citywide sales in August reached 2,151 units, 37 per cent higher than last year and 25 per cent higher than long-term trends. Sales have slowed from the record-setting pace seen earlier this year, but on a year-to-date basis, the eight-month total of 19,516 sales is higher than annual sales figures recorded over the past six years.

“Sales have far exceeded expectations throughout most of the pandemic, driven mostly by demand for detached homes. At the same time, supply could not keep pace and conditions shifted to favour the seller, something that has not happened in over six years,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

“With more buyers than sellers, prices rose, providing opportunity for many of the…
