THE EXCHANGE DISTRICT & THE FORKS HISTORIC AND FUNKY

earlier time that reaches down the road to the treasures in theatre.

DAWN PETER

Winnipeg’s Exchange District is historic, funky and on the edge of the three sides of art, architecture and commerce. Tightly located between Notre Dame and Ross Avenue from Adelaide to Main Street and across Main, close to the Forks near the Red River, the Exchange is alive with culture and currency.

With established venues for entertainment, the area is always lively. It is home to the Fringe festival that hosts wacky plays in intriguing locations; the Jazz festival that boasts beautiful music; and Old Market Square with its terra cotta structures surrounding City Hall.

Walking down the streets gives you the sense that you’re part of an

In the Exchange, the commoners are celebrated on the common grounds. Albert Street ends with a view of the stage at the park. Store owners open their doors during business hours only to have the clubs close theirs because they’re full.

Residents in the Exchange District range from semi-retired lovers of culture to 30-something film buffs, but the main demographic for this area is quite distinct: Singles in their late-30s with a slightly above-average income. Since any locale in this area is within walking distance of the downtown business district, most can work close to home.

Named for the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, the Exchange District, including the Forks, is home to more than 150 heritage buildings. The Health Sciences Centre is the closest hospital and both Red River College Continuing

Education and the University of Winnipeg are in the immediate area and surrounding the Exchange.

The Exchange and especially the Forks’ market have a fascinating assortment of art, framing and clothing shops. The foodies will love it, too, and the nightlife beats with the heart of the city. Tourists would be sorry not to see the museums and the river firsthand.

The one-way streets, the cobblestone and the prairie pieshaped community all converge to encourage walking over driving in the Exchange. Parking is limited, except at the Forks parkade. Most are available on street level. Buses and taxis are available day or night with main routes going in all directions nearby. Cyclists are common as well, as there are many places to park your bike.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A RENTAL

Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases.

THE RENTAL UNIT

• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place?

• Where is the closest bus stop?

• Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness)

• Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)?

• Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot?

• How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping?

• Are there laundry facilities? Is there a schedule for use? Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat?

• Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed?

FINANCES

• How much is the rent?

• Is a security deposit required? What is the amount?

• Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet?

• Will a utility hook-up charge be extra?

• Will parking cost extra? What is the amount?

• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones?

AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS

• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it.

• What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease?

• How will costs be shared and bills paid?

• How will problems be resolved?

QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month?

• When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late? Ask for receipts for any payments.

• Who do you contact if there is a problem?

• Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance?

• Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?

• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required?

• Is smoking allowed?

• How long can guests stay?

• Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls?

• When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out?

• When will the inspection report be done.

It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Tips foR living alone

tAkE gooD CArE of yoursElf

JANE HERMAN

No matter how large or small your apartment is, make your space as comfortable and as welcoming as you can. Your home should be your refuge, a place where you can relax and unwind, and enjoy returning to at the end of the day. Enjoy having that haven all to yourself without someone else putting their influence on your space, or making messes or changes that put you out of sorts.

EstAblIsh gooD hAbIts from DAy onE

Hang up your coat when you come home, even if it’s only on a hook you’ve affixed to your hall wall; take out the garbage and recycling every time you go out; put your clothes away and keep your things reasonably tidy; do your dishes and laundry on a regular basis; clean the apartment and change the bathroom towels once a week. A houseplant or two and some fresh flowers will give you a refreshing lift.

Don’t buy EVErythIng All At onCE

Home furnishings come in all price ranges. Set yourself up with the basics and then, depending on your circumstances, upgrade, enliven and accessorize over time, one room at a time. Buy the best bedding, sheets and towels you can afford.

Plan and prepare healthy meals for yourself instead of eating a quick dinner in front of athe TV. Imagine that you’re dining with someone –set the table attractively, use real dishes and cutlery, put on some good music or read a book or a magazine.

mAkE fItnEss A prIorIty

Whether you like to get up early and do yoga, ride a bike, run or go to the gym after work, make exercise a part of your daily routine. Regular exercise relieves stress and depression, improves energy, concentration and sleep, prevents many diseases and enhances the general quality of your life.

engage in alone in your apartment, like writing or painting, it can be even more isolating. Get out of your apartment and go for a coffee or for a walk in a mall or a park or to the library. Just getting out and being with people will make you feel better.

tAkE ADVAntAgE

of All thE bEnEfIts

of lIVIng AlonE

Initially you may find living along to be fun and exciting. You can set the temperature to your preference, rather than someone else’s; arrange the furniture however you like, monopolize the bathroom without feeling guilty, listen to whatever music you like and indulge your preference for vegetarian food over meat. But there’s also the potential to become lonely and bored when living alone.

gEt out EVEryDAy

Even if you don’t need any groceries, make sure you get out of the apartment at least once a day unless the weather is really horrible. Having a hobby is great, but if your hobby is something you

usE your tImE In A mEAnIngful wAy

Volunteer for an organization or cause you feel strongly about. You will meet people who share your interests and concerns and really make a difference in the world, even if in a small way. And, you are less likely to feel lonely and sorry for yourself when you are helping others. Enjoy the freedom you have to be alone in your apartment to the fullest. One day, you may find yourself sharing your space with someone else.
