Good to know Home and Garden, from the Rockies to the St . LawrenceOTTAWA, TORONTO, CALGARY: New homes, and new or renewed forms of
homes, are a year-round attachment of Canadian home-and-garden
journalism. Generating newspaper attention recently was the growing
appreciation for the townhouse in Ottawa, top; the showhome of a
highrise-development in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, above left;
and a showhome for a tract-housing development in north Calgary. You
can learn a lot about your town when you read the out-of-town
newspapers. Consider this, from the Ottawa Citizen townhouse story:
"To a large extent, their proliferation comes from the maturing of
Ottawa as an urban centre and the municipality's professed
commitment to housing intensification to combat urban sprawl." Every
life-long Ottawa resident who thinks a townhouse an exemplar of
intense residency owes himself or herself a trip to Vancouver or,
perhaps, a moment's reflection on those television skyshots
broadcast between Winter Games coverage.
