          Mississauga recently passed a bylaw restricting the use of clotheslines, in order to prevent residents from misusing them, and now the city is considering passing another bylaw.  This bylaw deals with preserving trees. Due to the ice storm that took place this previous winter as well as raids from bugs many trees are in bad condition.          The city already has rules in place to protect trees including the rule that limits the number of trees property owners can cut down each year to two. However they can cut down any two trees no matter how old, how big or how beautiful they may be. The proposed bylaw would make it necessary for property owners to seek a permit in order to cut down any tree that is 50 centimeters or more in diameter. This may sound extreme but will only impact two percent of the trees in Mississauga.  This image was taken from the link at the bottom     ...

Whether snow, rain, thunder or sunshine the couple refused to take down their laundry.  Neighbor  Steve DeVoe, having a direct view of the couple's yard, had suffered with the eye sore for over 5 years. He even has pictures showing the couples underwear and stockings hanging outside in full view of his home. He says that it started off with just 4 clotheslines and that the nu...

There are many condo developments across the GTA and they have to comply with a set of rules and regulations. The Condos are inspected by architects and engineers of different specializations to ensure they meet the criteria. Condos currently being built in the GTA invest a lot of capital into energy-efficient technology, from solar panels to lighting systems, they try to find as many green appliances they can implement into their designs. Condos built across the GTA must comply with the Toronto Green Standard, which is a two-tier set of performance measures related to sustainable site and building design for public development. These standards also focus on condos that try to create a safer environment for residents in the area.
