2 BEDROOM HOMES FROM $194,900.LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGN.

PEACE OF MIND WARRANTY.MOVE-IN READY.

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR NEW BEGINNINGS!

TRICIA LESLIE

Once again, the local community has proven it is comprised of generous, giving people.

Th ey donated thousands of coats and warm articles of clothing – including some brand-new purchases and handmade items – to the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Associa-tion’s 15th annual Coats for Kids campaign. All donations will go to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau and other charitable organi-zations, which will ensure the coats and clothes are given to those who need it most.

Black Press community newspapers off ered most of its Metro Vancouver newspaper offi ces

as drop-off sites for the GVHBA initiative and amazingly, brought in 1,500 coats for the cause.

“Coats for Kids was embraced with over-whelming enthusiasm by our staff and by our readers,” says Black Press senior vice-president of sales and marketing Candy Hodson.

“It is so heartwarming to see the profound impact we can have in supporting charities at this time of year.”

At Cintas – ‘the uniform people’ – that sentiment was echoed by general manager Henk Colyn, who provided a Cintas truck to transport the mountains of clothing Black Press collected.

“Our strong community awareness has

always been driven fi rst and foremost by our partners from the community,” he says.

“But it is through eff orts and partnerships, such as with New Local Home and Black Press and Coats for Kids that our partners can really see what the combined eff orts of many can do.”

GVHBA president and CEO Peter Simpson says this will likely be a record-breaking year, with more than 3,000 coats collected; the fi nal tally is still being counted.

“Every year, the public responds very gener-ously. Th ey open their closets and their hearts,” Simpson says.

“We’re very pleased to see the support and the generosity. What a great response.”

’Tis the season: giving is in

Cintas pitches in to help Black Press donate the 1,500 coats the company collected at its Metro Vancouver offi ces for the GVHBA’s Coats for Kids campaign.

Th e Vancouver Heritage Foundation is hosting its fi rst-ever Laneway House Tour this weekend, and if ticket sales are any indication, it’s already a success.

“We’ve pretty much sold out. I think there might be 20 tickets left ,” VHF executive director Diane Switzer said Monday.

“For many people, this will be their fi rst look inside a laneway house. Laneway housing was only approved a short time ago (in Vancouver), so now we’re seeing the fi rst batch of laneway homes out of the 100

building permits that have been approved.”Six houses are on the tour, ranging from

traditional to modern in all diff erent sizes, Switzer says, and notes that only laneway houses that have been constructed behind existing houses are on the tour.

Part of the VHF’s mandate is to keep city streetscapes as unchanged as possible, but because laneway houses are behind the main home, on the lane, they can help add residents without changes to the streetscape, Switzer says.

While laneway homes can range from 200-250 square feet to nearly 1,000 sq. ft . – depending on the size of the existing lot – the homes on tour range from about

500 to 750 sq. ft ., she says, in one- and two-bedroom designs.

“I think people are interested to know what it would be

like to live in (a laneway home), or people who already live in small spaces can come and get ideas for their own interior design,” Switzer says.

“Th is might be something some hom-eowners want to do in their own backyard, whether for renters or for a family member.”

Th e tour happens at select homes in Van-couver on Saturday, Dec. 11 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and costs $50 ($25 tax receipts issued upon request).

Project teams will be on-site to discuss each home and there will be Christmas light displays, hot chocolate and cookies.
