When a church in Toronto's west end was converted into affordable housing nearly 15 years ago, the group behind the project was already thinking ahead. 

Andrea Adams, the executive director of the non-profit developer St. Clare's, said she was "daydreaming" about what could be built on the yard next to the 20-unit building on Ossington Avenue. 

She was eventually introduced to Assembly Corp., a company that builds mass timber modular housing, around the same time that the city was looking for proposals for "shovel ready" affordable housing projects. 

Some outdoorsy Canadians are planning to build their tents with elbows up this summer as the season unofficially kicks off this long weekend.

Sally Turner says she and her husband plan to do their camping, canoeing and biking this year in Canadian national parks, including at Jasper National Park this weekend, because of the U.S. trade war and U.S. President Donald Trump's calls to make Canada a 51st state.

"I have, in the past, camped in the United States, but that's not going to happen in the near future," Turner said while shopping for camping gear in Edmonton.

Severe thunderstorms need rising air, and to get that you need heat, or rather, you need a large difference in temperature between two areas.

Dealing with a fire on your farm can be both dangerous and devastating. Fortunately, there are things you can do to reduce the risk of fires.

Improper use of burn barrels can easily start fires. People often contribute to the risk of fire by not using proper screens on burn barrels or clearing the grass around the barrel itself.

With a potential Canada Post strike looming once again and arriving as soon as May 22, 2025, various ministries, Crown corporations and provincial government agencies have announced the preparation of contingency plans to limit potential service interruptions.

Clients, suppliers and businesses are being encouraged to switch to direct deposit, as payments made through that method will not be impacted by postal service changes.

Ruck It Up! began five years ago now when Moose Jaw friends Brett Hagan, Tyler Simpson, and Chris Robart decided to turn a passion of theirs — weighted hikes, or ‘rucking’ — into a fundraising event to support local suicide awareness and mental health first aid group Journey to Hope. 

Hagan said it’s pretty cool that they’ve been able to establish the event in the community. 

A series of amendments have been made to The Saskatchewan Employment Act recently and will come into effect later this fiscal year.
