Healthy Homes Start with Proper Construction

A well-built home isn’t just about appearance—it’s about YOUR health. Proper construction means vapor barriers to prevent water leakage and mold, roofing systems with adequate venting and combating ice build-up, ice and water membranes for spring thaw. With proper construction, barriers, drainage and weeping tile, you can avoid water leaking into your house and flooded basements—which is a major cause of mold. Mold can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. By protecting your home from moisture, you’re safeguarding your family’s wellness, air quality, and comfort for years to come.

Active Family Benefits

Did you know our government has doubled the Active Families Benefit tax credit to help keep these activities more affordable? Families are eligible to claim up to $300 per child (or $400 for children with disabilities) when the gross household income is $120,000 or less. Parents who enroll their children in sport, culture and recreation activities in the 2025 calendar year are reminded to keep their receipts so they may claim the benefit when they file their taxes for 2025. We hope you and your family enjoy active time together this year!
