Your ongoing kindness is so much appreciated! Thank you very much for your
donation to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Support from our friends like you plays a principal role in Mount Sinai Hospital’s
success. For example, philanthropy helps advance the work of our medical researchers
like Dr. Anthony Pawson who was named by Globe & Mail as one of only ten “nation
builders of the decade” on January 2, 2010. Dr. Pawson has revolutionized our
understanding of the way our cells work in health and in disease, his discoveries
influence many aspects of medical research, and his work informs the understanding
and treatment of a host of diseases. Donations like yours also support our world-ranked
clinical programs and educational opportunities that attract students and trainees from
around the globe.

Your gift was received with great appreciation, and I do hope we can continue to count
on your support in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Harold Heft, Ph.D.

The announcement was made at the Sprucewoods Co-operative Homes Inc. by Peter Braid, Member of Parliament for Kitchener – Waterloo, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

“Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, our government is taking action to help ensure our economic recovery and create the conditions for long-term growth,” said MP Braid. “Funding renovation and retrofit projects, like this one, will not only improve the quality of life of its residents by keeping their homes safe and affordable, but it will also help stimulate the local economy and create local jobs.”

The Government of Canada, through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, announced $1 billion for social housing renovation and retrofit. Of the $1 billion, $850 million is being delivered by provinces and territories on a cost-matched basis for existing federally assisted social housing projects which they administer on behalf of the partnership. The remaining $150 million is being delivered by CMHC for existing federally assisted off-reserve housing which it directly administers. Eligible repairs include general improvements, energy efficiency upgrades or conversions, and modifications in support of persons with disabilities.

Sprucewoods Co-operative Homes Inc. will apply the contributions from the Government of Canada to replace furnaces.

“We congratulate and thank the federal government, MP Peter Braid and CMHC for making a sound investment to help ensure that this affordable community is preserved as a legacy for the long-term benefit of its residents, “ said Ken Elliott, President of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada. “Today’s announcement is an excellent example of stimulus funding that works towards preserving jobs, assisting the local economy, and protecting valuable affordable housing assets for Canadians.”

“We are delighted that our co-operative will benefit from the federal government’s renovation and retrofit initiative delivered by CMHC,” said Tiffany Augusto, President of Sprucewoods Co-operative Homes Inc. “Not only will this funding make our co-operative more energy efficient, but it will also help ensure these homes are available to meet the needs of future generations.”

Candice Hoeppner, Member of Parliament for Portage – Lisgar, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), made the announcement along with members from the Long Plain First Nation.

“Our Government’s Economic Action Plan is creating jobs, stimulating the local economy and improving housing conditions for First Nation communities in Manitoba,” said MP Hoeppner.

Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada has committed $400 million over two years to help First Nation communities build needed new housing, repair and remediate existing non-profit housing for their members, and complement housing programs offered by CMHC. This investment will also provide an economic stimulus for many First Nations and surrounding areas by creating jobs.

Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, some $75 million in federal investments will be made available to First Nations in Manitoba to address immediate housing needs.

CMHC allocated more than $2.6 million to retrofit 233 housing units on-reserve in 13 First Nations communities in Manitoba, as well as more than $8.1 million for subsidy associated with 33 new housing units to be constructed in six First Nations communities.

“The Long Plain First Nation is very grateful for the opportunity we have had in capitalizing on CEAP, which has provided much needed jobs for the people in our community. It has also allowed us to renovate and build additional homes that we would not have normally received under the current CMHC programs,” said Chief David Meeches.

The qualification will provide new opportunities for young people to develop careers as housing officers, especially 16 to 19 year olds whose training costs will be met fully by Government.

The Apprenticeship is supported by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and incorporates two of CIH’s qualifications covering topics ranging from homelessness and finance, to repairs and maintenance.

The Apprenticeship is being introduced by Asset Skills – the Government’s Sector Skills Council for housing. The Level 3 Apprenticeship qualifications are designed to be on a par with A-levels and learners can also use the qualification to progress to a foundation degree in housing and a range of CIH Level 4 qualifications.

The report compared census data from Statistics Canada from 2001 and 2006, when the housing boom was near its peak and unemployment was low.

The report indicates that in 2006, 72 per cent of immigrants lived in an owned home. That’s compared with 68 per cent in 2001, an increase of four percentage points.

At the same time, the percentage of Canadian-born people choosing home ownership over renting rose by only two percentage points to 75 per cent, up from 73 per cent.

“Homeownership tends to increase the longer one has lived in Canada, with the majority of new arrivals first settling in rental accommodation,” Adrienne Warren, a senior economist with Scotia Economics, said in a release.

“Over time, immigrant families eventually make the move to homeownership, at rates similar to the Canadian-born population. However, between 2001 and 2006, the homeownership rate rose for all immigrant groups, regardless of how long they had resided in Canada. The biggest increase was among those living in Canada for less than 10 years.”

Warren said the faster transition to home ownership was likely due to two factors.

“I think it’s that we’ve had a very strong job market, and that has allowed people to make the step from being a renter to homeowner perhaps faster than in the past,” she said.

“I think it also has to relate to mortgage [and] market conditions, [and] the fact that we’ve had historically low mortgage rates that has made buying a home cheaper.”

Because the analysis was based on data from 2001 and 2006, it was unclear what effect the current recession might be having on the number of immigrants and others entering the housing market.

It was clear from the report, however, that Scotiabank expects that trend in real estate to continue.

“Given Canada’s aging population and relatively low fertility rates, longer-term household formation and housing needs will be largely determined by immigration,” Warren said.
