ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED CHUCK RESNICK Moving your worldly possessions involves a lot of organization, so it’s smart to expect the unexpected. Some DIY moves go well; others end up stressful because those doing the work don’t anticipate potential glitches. For example, if you move in the winter and it’s a snowy, slushy day, how do you protect the floors from water/salt damage at both ends? What about getting large items around hard-to-maneuver corners without marking walls? What if someone gets hurt? Do

you know how to pack delicate items? What if the truck breaks down or gets into an accident halfway to your new home? Training is a great preventative measure – when you shop for a mover, find out if and how the drivers and moving people are trained. Ask whether they have a “Plan B” in case of vehicle problems, and what you can do to be prepared as possible when the packing/moving begins. Of course, there are specialty items that require an unusual level of care – pianos, pool tables, grandfather clocks, artwork, antiques and the like. The money you may save by not hiring a professional mover may end up being spent on repairs if these

large and valuable pieces are not handled correctly. Irreplaceable items may be lost forever. If you decide to move yourself, give some thought to what might happen along the way and make contingency plans. Be realistic – hiring a professional mover can offer tremendous peace of mind and is money well spent.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

ST. BONIFACE

A BIT OF FRENCH CULTURE AND HISTORY

DAWN PETER

Saint Boniface runs north as far as Mission Street following the Red River west along Tache Avenue and later Lyndale Drive. A large area with francophone residents, Saint Boniface extends east past Archibald Street to Plessis Road, reaching the Perimeter Highway. The vibe in St. Boniface is clearly French-Canadian. From the Forks, it careens like canoe-carrying voyageurs to the next creek. Whether you’re in surgery at St. Boniface hospital or serving Sleeman’s at the Marion Hotel, you’re part of the living canvas here in the Montreal of the Metis. Former residents counted French as their first language, but now most are more diverse and Englishspeaking. They may not look as rugged as the prairie pioneers of old but they celebrate this French catholic heritage just the same. There are a large number of seniors in the population, low to middle

TIDY UP! Hellen Buttigieg

How to keep the home tidy in just a few minutes a day. There are two tricks you can use to keep your home neat with little effort: SCAN AND GRAB

Any time you leave one room, scan it quickly to see if there’s anything that belongs in the room that you are going to (or along the way). Keep a basket at the bottom of the stairs and any time you come across something that belongs on the second floor, toss it in. At the

end of the day, grab the basket on your way up. Deposit the items in the rooms where they belong right away (or first thing in the morning if you’re too tired). Be sure to take the basket back downstairs on your way down the next day. The key is to get into the habit of doing this daily so the basket doesn’t get too full, otherwise it becomes too time consuming to put everything away. DO IT NOW AND SAVE TIME

Delaying tasks actually creates more work and wastes time. Fold or hang your clothes immediately after the dryer cycle is complete and you will spend less (or no) time ironing. Load the dishwasher

(or wash the dishes) as soon as you’re done eating and you’ll spend less time rinsing, scraping and scrubbing. SMART STORAGE

You’ve probably heard the term ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. This is so true, but it’s only part of the solution. The second half of this wisdom is to keep things in a logical position. Next time you are trying to find a home for something, instead of asking ‘where should I put it’, ask ‘where would I use it’.

ADVICE | RENTAL TIPS

HouseHold of one: 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. 30 Renters Guide | Feb. 25–March 11, 2022

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.

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.

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.

ADVICE | SAFETY TIPS

APARTMENT SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS BONNIE HOY

If there is one lesson every landlord wants residents to remember is to not let strangers into the building. Don’t open the front door for people you don’t know, don’t answer the intercom or Enterphone to unlock the lobby door. Notify your superintendent when you see canvassers going door-to-door. You can never be too cautious. We recommend that residents lock their doors even when they’re inside their apartment. It’s too easy for people to just

walk right in. It is amazing how many people walk into an apartment because they got off on the wrong floor or simply because they weren’t paying attention. It can be an innocent enough mistake but it can also be awkward and embarrassing. Stop newspaper delivery when you’re going away for even a few days. Nothing says ‘noone’s home’ louder than a pile of newspapers sitting outside the door. Another thing to consider is tenants’ insurance, which generally costs about $250 per year. The landlord’s insurance doesn’t cover the contents of a unit, only the floors and walls – basically the shell of your suite.

They are not responsible for your personal effects. Many landlords make having tenants’ insurance a requirement for signing a lease, but some residents choose to ignore it. Keep in mind if you cause a flood or a fire, then you could be held responsible for all resulting damage including any to the walls and floors. What’s $250 when you’re talking about peace of mind? Happy renting! Bonnie Hoy & Associates is one of Canada’s premiere leaders in providing marketing and public relations services to major landlords.

ADVICE | ApArtmEntAlIty

CheCk rEfErEnCEs on a prospeCtive roomIE

kathryn kusyszyn Employers check references, landlords check references, and if you’re considering someone as a roommate, you should check their references, too. A person can seem charming initially, then later on turn into a nightmare. Do your homework and avoid such situations. Have a rental application form that’s appropriate for your province. It will cover all the bases. Discuss how they feel about overnight visitors, smoking, pets, sharing household chores and other mutual responsibilities. Ask

why they left their last place and how long they lived there. The application should ask for references from a current employer, a previous landlord and at least one previous roommate. By providing contact info, the prospective roommate is giving you permission to contact them. When calling an employer, state that you are verifying the potential roommate’s employment status and character, not doing an employment check. Ask previous landlords how long the person lived there, whether they paid their rent on time and why they left. Past roommates can be revealing. Ask how long they have known the person and how long they lived together. Ask what they liked and disliked

about living with them and why they went separate ways. If someone cannot provide any references or if none of their references are forthcoming, beware. You will be living with this person in close quarters and relying on them to fulfil their responsibilities. You need to have a reasonable comfort level with them. Be selective, and with some searching, you will find the right match. Kathryn Kusyszyn is a health and lifestyle consultant in Victoria BC. and is a long-time freelance writer. yogakat.ca

ADVICE | RENTAL TIPS

Helping friends move Jennifer Braun The year’s most popular moving dates are coming up. I want to suggest you actually consider helping a friend move. Why? Because it won’t be as bad as you think, and your fellow renter would really appreciate it. If a friend asks you to help them move, it does not mean you will be facilitating the entire move. In fact, I really do not suggest relying on friends for a complete move, but rather for a pair of helping hands. There are many ways you can help with a move, including before the move, during the move and

even after the move. Getting personal belongings organized and neatly packed into boxes is actually half the work. Moving also involves a lot of cleaning – be it the old place or the new place that still needs to be vacuumed and dusted before bringing in furniture. Then, after all that work, there’s unpacking and getting organized. So, before you say no to helping with a move, consider asking your friend what they need help with. Your strength at some point may be needed, but just being there to help pack, clean and organize can also be a big help. All that being said, helping friends move still isn’t the most enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon. That’s why I say

keep your friends close and the friends you help move even closer – they totally owe you – including with your own next big move! Jennifer Braun is a freelance lifestyle writer from Montreal.

comfort IS KEY

by SARA DUCK

Has the pandemic indefinitely changed the way you live and dress? Casual wear has become de rigueur, with pyjama and sweatpants breaking sales records this year. And, with so many working from home and spending more time inside, many homeowners are rethinking how they can make their spaces more organized, functional and relaxed. We have entered a new age of comfort. When the outside world seems daunting, we want our homes to be a source of solace, our clothes to be unrestrictive and unapologetic. As the winter bears down on us and restrictions change weekly, sheltering in place should be a time to slow down and surround ourselves with life’s little pleasures. It could be mastering the art of sour dough bread, curling up by a fire with family or snuggling in a super soft throw – whatever comfort means to you, embrace it and let it carry you through the pandemic.

HOW TO PICK WINE LIKE A PRO with Super Wine Girl, Angela Aiello

2 3 4

NEW WORLD IS ALL ABOUT GRAPES AND EUROPE IS ALL ABOUT THE PLACE IT’S FROM The first thing to understand is that in places such as Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and Argentina, wines are labelled by the grapes inside the bottle. You’ll see grape names such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Shiraz and Grenache, etc. In many places in Europe, wines are labelled by the place they are from. You’ll see names of places such as, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Chianti, Barolo, Cahors, Priorat, Rioja and Sherry. There are many varieties of grapes in the world and many regions that grow them. Each grape varietal and each region has a unique flavour profile – so there is always something to discover. Getting to know your favourite grapes and varietals is crucial in better understanding which wines you’ll prefer. UNDERSTAND WINE STYLES AND HAVE AN IDEA OF WHICH STYLE YOU’RE CRAVING Do you drink according to your mood, the weather or what food you’re pairing with the wine? Your wine preferences may change based on your mood, the occasion, the time of year or what you’re preparing for the next meal. Give your style words and feelings so that you can pinpoint exactly what wine you want to try. DON’T JUDGE A WINE BY THE LABEL OR PRICE Flashy art or a higher price tag can lead you to believe you are purchasing quality wine. Be mindful this is not always the case. Read the labels (both front and back). You can even research the producer for added information as you can learn more about the product and the producer’s work. A nice wine label or bottle on sale will get you once but it might not get you again. There are great wines at great prices and also great wines with great labels, but judging just on looks or price is not the way to buy wine. BE OPEN TO TAKING A WINE ADVENTURE Did you know the Canary Islands makes wine? Did you know Washington State makes killer Cabernet and that Argentina grows vineyards at high elevation, creating exceptional mountain wines? There is so much cool stuff to learn about wine that you can literally have an adventure in every single bottle you open! You can learn about the world in every sip, and that’s really exciting, especially now when it’s hard to travel. You can taste the world from the comfort of your home with a glass of wine in your hand and Google by your side. To learn more and subscribe to Angela’s Super Taster Collective visit superwinegirl.com or follow her on Instagram and/or TikTok @SuperWineGirl

Cool and concealed

Cellarettes or bar cabinets, as they are called today, have been around for centuries. They appeared in Europe as early as the 15th century, designed to carry, transport and store a small number of bottled alcoholic beverages. Today, bar cabinets are multi-functional, housing your bar accessories, bottles and also acting as a great small furniture piece.

Prosecco Rosé is finally available at the LCBO, and we are tickled pink about it. In order for it to be labelled Prosecco Rosé, the grapes used must come from a specific geographic area that has passed the Italian government’s quality requirements, and be fermented for at least 60 days in stainless steel tanks. We predict the pink bubbly will be popular this season. PROSECCO ROSÉ DOC by Ruffino. $17. lcbo.com nexthome.ca
