"If this house could talk we'd be in for some good stores — over 90 years of rain, sleet and snow, but now the house is much happier — we gave her some new win- dows and a protective blanket of insulation,” Harkness said: "A warm house is a happy home.” Harkness is an electric ee West Kootenay Power and PowerSmart joined forces with Kaslo’s Robert Harkness to keep Old WKP keeps winters warmer heat customer who has en- joyed an energy efficiency up- grade through West Koote- nay Power’s HomeGuard pro- gram. The upgrading result- ed in a temperature adjusted decrease of 4949 kWh a year. That’s real savings of almost $200 per year on his electric- ity bill.

Housing October’s rise was short lived as Canadian housing starts fell back to a seasonal- ly adjusted rate of 178,000 units in November, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. - Starts were down 13 per cent from the revised season- ally adjusted rate of 204,000 units in October. boom sh “This is still a fairly strong level of housing activity, de- spite the decline,” said Rita Daniel, Director of CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre. “Starts have been somewhat erratic over the past few months and may. continue to be for some time." While both single-family and multiple unit starts were down, the ma- Canadian families Family Allowances, paid to some 3.7 million Canadian families on behalf of 6.8 mil- lion-children, will increase in the new year. Benoit Bouchard, Minister of National Health and Wel- fare, announced recently that effective Jan. 1992, the feder- al government's Family Al- lowance, paid monthly. for chil- dren under age 18, will rise to $34.88 from $33.93 in most provinces and the two territo- ries. The adjustment is based on increases in the Consumer Price Index, Statistics Can- ada's cost-of-living measure, in excess Of three per cent. Under a provision in the Family Allowances Act, a provincial government may ask the federal government to vary the rates payable in that province according to the age or number of children in a family, or both, providing that the average monthly payment ort lived , jority of the decline was felt in multiples. Urban multiple unit starts dropped 20 per cent from 89,000 to 71,000 season- ally adjusted units, while sin- gle-family units started in ur- ban areas decreased by 10 per cent to 72,000 from 80,000 units. Almost all of the decline was in Quebec and British Columbia. get more in that province equals the federal rate. This option has been chosen by Alberta and Quebec. The refundable Child Tax Credit for 1991 taxation year will provide up to $585 per child based on family income. , Also, parents who qualify can claim an additional $207 on their return for each child age six and under for whom no child care expenses were claimed. Federal grants are up for grabs Federal Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Pierre Blais announced re- cently the renewal of the Grants and Contributions Program, under which $1.7 million is to be made available to assist consumer organiza- tions across the country. “The goal ofthe Grants and Contributions Program is to strengthen the .consumer’s role in the marketplace. Funds are awarded to encour- age non-profit organizations to widen their field of activi- ties by addressing important consumer issues,” said Blais. - Priority is given to projects -that address issues affecting the greatest number of con- sumers. “This program makes it possible for consumer orga- nizations to enhance their ability to represent con-! sumers’ 0! izations to en- hance their ability to repre- sent consumers’ interests and achieve concrete results. Fur- thermore, groups are urged to network and, whenever possi- ble, involve major market- place players in finding solu- tions,” said the Minister. National, regional and local organizations are eligible as ‘V_MARINE long as they propose innova- tive projects aimed at issues of concern to a wide range of con- sumers. : Projects funded in the 1991- 92 fiscal year dealt with broad issues such as: cross-border shopping, the consumer as a catalyst in achieving competi- tiveness, environmental claims on labelling and in ad- vertising, consumer data pro- tection and disclosure by fi- nancial institutions of service charges and fees. Organizations wishing to apply for funding can obtain the appropriate forms from re- gional offices of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada. _ The deadline for receipt of applications is Feb. 14, for pro- jects beginning April 1, 1992.
