Fire extinguishers are an integral part of your home fire safety plan. Here are some expert-recommended tips to keep in mind:
Equip your home
“Fire extinguishers should be placed on every level of your home and in common spaces like the kitchen, laundry room and garage,” says Ashley Gocken, a First Alert fire safety expert with Resideo Technologies. “Make sure to store extinguishers in easily accessible places, like under the kitchen sink or mounted on the wall.”

The Bank of Canada today reduced its target for the overnight rate to 4¼%, with the Bank Rate at 4½% and the deposit rate at 4¼%. The Bank is continuing its policy of balance sheet normalization.

The global economy expanded by about 2½% in the second quarter, consistent with projections in the Bank’s July Monetary Policy Report (MPR).

Housing activity continues to move away from the extreme sellers’ market conditions experienced throughout the spring. Easing sales, combined with gains in supply, pushed the months of supply above two months in August, a level not seen since the end of 2022.

It will take time for supply levels to return to those that support more balanced conditions.”

Inventory levels in August reached 4,487…

Spruce Up the Bathrooms Before You Sell: Affordable DIY Tips

When potential buyers tour a home, bathrooms can have a big impact on them. An outdated or neglected bathroom can quickly sour their impression of your property overall. The good news is, you can spruce it up without breaking the bank.

Here's how:

• Grout and Caulking Touch-ups: Over time, grout can discolour and caulking can peel. Cleaning the grout and re-caulking areas around the tub and sink can make the bathroom look well-maintained and fresh.

2. Save on Energy Costs - Modern windows are packed with technologies that lower heating and cooling bills. From Low-E Argon, to special spacer bars, to high-insulating construction, these technologies can provide savings and comfort you'll notice (bye-bye drafts), especially if you're replacing very old windows.

3. Cut the Noise – New windows will reduce noise pollution, allowing a more peaceful and restful living environment. Studies have shown noise pollution to…
