| Welcome To The Great Outdoors |
| Increasing temperatures and more hours of daylight, mean that as of June 21, summer has officially arrived! Now, even though summer is technically just starting, it doesn’t mean that planning isn’t already in full swing. Enjoy your backyard by creating your own “staycation!” If this is your first summer in a new home, there’s a wide variety of beautiful flowers, shrubs, vegetables and herbs that you can grow to make your backyard uniquely yours. Trying new foods on the barbecue or learning about new and amazing activities happening in your community, are great ways to eliminate the stress that planning a vacation can bring. Stay active by visiting your local park, walking trails or trying a new sport at your community recreation centre. Try something new this summer, have a picnic, or reacquaint yourself with neighbours, but most importantly, have fun! |

| There are so many aspects families consider when making a major purchase. Are there good schools in the neighbourhood for children of all ages? Is the house close to public transit and major highways so we can easily commute to work? Are there parks and trails we can enjoy? How about sports and recreation facilities; community programs and entertainment options? Will we be close to shops and services? Edgewood offers all of these and more, as quite a few discerning families have already discovered. Take a closer look at the incredible detached homes offering three finished levels of beautiful living space, backing onto a preserved ravine. |

| Noteworthy and New |
| In a column published in Homes Magazine's May issue, Tony Hunt, CFO of Geranium, addressed the impact of the Double Whammy – Ontario’s Fair Housing Plan PLUS the stricter mortgage rules Canada’s federal banking regulator announced. Combined, these resulted in those seeking to buy a home in the GTA being less confident about what they could afford and when they should make their decision. |
