THREE BENEFITS OF DOWNSIZING Thinking of selling your larger home in favour of something smaller? Maybe your kids are grown and you no longer need as much space. Or maybe you’d rather have a smaller mortgage so you can spend your hard earned money on other things. Whatever the reason, more and more Canadians are considering downsizing their home. Here are just a few of the benefits and reasons why. 1. Downsizing to save money. Possibly one of the most common reasons to downsize is that smaller homes tend to cost less than larger ones. Of course, selling a larger home in a small town only to move to an expensive downtown city condo isn’t necessarily going to cost less. But selling a larger home and moving to a smaller one within the same area definitely will. 2. Downsizing to lower your carbon footprint. One reason people downsize, that has been steadily growing over the last few years, is eco- responsibility. A larger home means more energy required to heat and light it. A larger home also requires the use of more cleaning products and more maintenance materials. 3. Downsizing to relocate. If you’ve ever wanted to live in the heart of a city, you’ll know that the most likely way to do so is to buy a condo or townhome. Larger houses are usually located in the suburbs, or in smaller towns and the country. If you dream of walking out your door and into the bustle of a downtown core, downsizing is a way to achieve it.

CROSS NUMBER PUZZLE

Cross number puzzles use digits rather than words. Each of the digits 1 through 9 is only used once in each of these two puzzles. Can you figure out where they must be placed so that each of the equations (both horizontally and vertically) are true? Only positive numbers are involved.
