Why

C NADIAN FOOD is becoming a

PRIORITY PURCHASE

I

t's no secret that our food purchases have a direct impact on our health, but did you know that your choices may also have a far-reaching effect?

Many consumers pay attention to the origins of their food, preferring to choose home-grown products. This type of conscious purchasing has a direct and positive impact on Canadian farmers, beekeepers, and other foodrelated industries.

Take honey, for example. Recently, many brands have started to blend a foreign supply with a minimum percentage of Canadian honey. As a result, less honey is required domestically and increasingly, more of it is imported into Canada. That's bad news for local beekeepers who depend on the demand for their product, as well as for the farmers that rely on bees for crop pollination.

But not all Canadian packers are giving in to the blended trend. Guy Chartier, CEO of Bee Maid Honey, notes that this producer-owned co-op has been a part of the Canadian food landscape for over 60 years.

� Our beekeeper owners take great pride in their ownership, and take extreme care to provide the best quality honey,� explains Guy Chartier.

BeeMaid

Honey BARBEQUE SAUCE I NGREDI ENTS “We source it all from our owners, and this structure ensures that our honey is of consistent quality year after year, bottle after bottle.”

Canadian honey standards are among the highest in the world, and the country's beekeepers work hard to meet and exceed those standards, Chartier points out. “So not only do companies like Bee Maid Honey support the success of our beekeepers and farmers, but you know that what you're eating meets strict health and safety standards.”

Be sure to read the labels on products the next time you're in a grocery store. It may be the best way for you to support local beekeepers and agriculture - and as barbecue season arrives, do try this delicious recipe featuring Canadian honey:

• 1/2 cup minced Onion • 1 Clove Garlic, minced • 1 tbsp Oil • 1 can (8 oz.) Tomato Sauce • 1/2 cup BeeMaid Honey • 2 tbsp Vinegar • 2 tbsp minced Parsley • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper • Pinch Cayenne Pepper

DI RECTI ONS Sauté onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add remaining ingredients and bring mixture to boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

How to create the

IDEAL BEDROOM for a GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP

N

othing is more important to our active, fun-filled lives than getting healthy, restorative sleep. Here are some tips for creating a bedroom to give you just that, from interior designer Robin Wilson of Robin Wilson Home. She is well known for her ecofriendly aesthetic with an eco-healthy focus.

thehomenews.ca

Change your Pillow If your pillow is older than three years and has not been washed, it weighs more now than when you bought it. It's loaded with dust mites that are next to your face while you sleep. Choose hypoallergenic pillows over down pillows, and use a zippered pillow protector that you wash weekly for a double barrier. Wash your pillow at least twice a year and replace pillows every three years.

Always use a Nylon Shower Curtain Liner Allergy sufferers are told to shower often to remove pollen and pet dander from their bodies. However, the phthalate chemicals in vinyl shower curtains off-gas with humidity and heat, and also attract mold and mildew.

This off-gassing can easily spread from the bathroom into the bedroom. Replace your vinyl liner with a nylon shower curtain liner.

Mattress Cover your mattress with a hypoallergenic cover and wash it every two months. Make sure your mattress is non-toxic without formaldehyde-based fire retardants.

Choose non-VOC Paints Try to always use non-VOC paints which won't off-gas, or leave an obnoxious paint odour to stir up allergies. It looks just as good on the wall as regular paint. m

At the Window Light pollution is an issue that people often ignore when trying to get a good night's sleep. A well-fitted set of blinds, shades or shutters is a great choice, and it can be a healthier one, too, as draperies can be dust-catchers. For example, Hunter Douglas Silhouette A Deux shadings combine the sheer, light-diffusing beauty of Silhouette shadings with a room-darkening roller shade for increased light control and privacy when desired.

Wash or Freeze Stuffed Toys Stuffed animals and dolls are breeding grounds for dust mites.

Wash them or put them in the freezer for 24 hours to remove them.

Keep Pets Clean and Off Beds Cat and dog allergies are very common, so keep pets bathed regularly to reduce the dander and don't allow them on your bed.

Flooring Remember that tile and hardwood floors can be a healthier choice than carpeting, as floor spaces are the largest dust collectors in the home and wall-to-wall carpeting can release VOC's if it contains certain adhesives, backings and sealants. Whatever your flooring choice, vacuum or clean it on a regular basis.

With these tips, creating a bedroom sanctuary for a good night's sleep is easier than ever.

Should you

Flip T H A T

?

HOU$E

M

any of us envision the gutsy move to flip a house for quick financial gains - and some people are quite successful at doing so, say advisors in this field. For those with the time, energy and technical skills, buying a property to fix up and sell later at a higher price or to rent out for a period of time, can be a worthwhile investment. But do your research. m

“Challenges can quickly mount for the novice who chooses to invest in real estate,”

26

Thompson offers three recommendations for success:

says Lincoln Thompson, broker-owner with Royal LePage Gardiner Realty in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

TAK E NOTE OF THE TAXES

“But if you take the time to choose the right home and rely on the right people for expertise, YOUR INVESTMENT CAN PAY DIVIDENDS.”

As the saying goes, the only things certain in life are death and taxes. Depending upon the municipal, provincial and federal taxation requirements for your area, sales tax and land transfer tax will apply at differing levels across the country. You could even be taxed based on the level of renovations if a lot of work has been done. Also, consider the personal or business taxation implications from the sale of the property or on rental income that is generated. An accountant and lawyer are two people you'll want to bring in early before you venture into this realm. If you find the right home in the right location, taxes may not be a deal breaker, but be aware that paying them will cut into your profits.

thehomenews.ca

CONSID ER A JOINT VENTURE, BUT CHOOSE YOUR PARTNERS W ISELY Each party should bring to the relationship what others within the deal cannot. For example, if you have trade or technical expertise but are lacking funds or financial expertise, you'll want to concentrate on finding investment partners who bring these skills to the relationship.

Don't partner with people who have the same strengths and weaknesses as you. If you are lacking expertise in any area, including real estate, hire a real estate agent with experience in real estate investment within the location you are considering. An experienced agent will also aid in bringing together the right deal makers. m

DON'T BUY A PROPERTY WITHOUT ANSWERING THESE BASIC QUESTIONS: • Can I buy it BELOW retail market value?

• Can I do small renovations to INCREASE the value?

• Is there an increase in DEMAND for the area?

• Are there sales over list price in the area?

• What is the nature of the surrounding properties?

• What amenities and services are within walking distance?

• Do I need to purchase APPLIANCES? • Can this property be RENTED? • If so, what are the going rental RATES for similar properties in the area?

Real estate investment is a great way to supplement your income if you do your homework and set yourself up for success with the right expertise.
