Wasaga Beach Is Getting A $38M Makeover

2 weeks ago | storeys.com | Erin Davis

Wasaga Beach - home to the longest freshwater beach in the world - is in store for a major makeover. While there's something nostalgic and welcoming about the beachfront town's stuck-in-time retro grittiness, change is inevitable - even if it means the demolition of long-time staples (RIP Bananas Beach Club). In the wake of recent redevelopment plans (more on that later), the Ontario government announced last week that it is investing nearly $38 million to build Destination Wasaga.

Fresh from my first two cruises, I’m not (yet) an expert. But, I’d safely call the brand-new MSC World America a unicorn: She brings five-star sophistication, diverse palate-pleasers, uninterrupted zen, world-class talent, adrenaline rushes and uninhibited parties. She really has it all. The ultramodern, 6,762-passenger MSC World America made her inaugural journey on April 12, 2025, following a glamorous ribbon-cutting by her Godmother, Hollywood star Drew Barrymore.
Can The Rebirth Of A '70s-Era Government Incentive Really Help The Housing Crisis?

3 weeks ago | storeys.com | Erin Davis

Canada in the 1970s was a time of disco, feminism, and rapid rental construction. From 1974 to 1981, the Canadian government fostered the production of nearly 200,000 rental housing units. This was the byproduct of a popular tax incentive known as the Multiple Unit Rental Building (MURB), which was designed to accelerate rental construction.

If you’ve scrolled social media lately, odds are, you’ve come across the #NotScandinavian trend. If not, check out the hashtag to be inspired, informed, and entertained. “To understand the #NotScandinavian movement, you have to first understand the #ScandinavianScarf controversy,” says Pip Puveendran, a Tamil-Canadian content creator who started the viral movement.
The City Of Toronto Could Soon Freeze Development Charges

Development charges are front and centre in talks of Canada's homebuilding industry. Of course, so is the narrative that we need to build as many homes as possible to avoid a pending supply crisis.
Why Housing Remains One Of Canada's Biggest Election Issues

2 months ago | storeys.com | Erin Davis

The “Great Canadian Dream” of homeownership isn’t what it once was. It’s an increasingly out-of-reach reality for countless young people from coast to coast – many of whom can barely pay their rent and have some semblance of a well-rounded lifestyle. If it sounds dire, it is, frankly. Perhaps this reality is a motivating factor in getting young Canadian adults – and their parents – to the polls. Housing has arguably become the issue in Canada in the lead-up to the federal election on April 28.
From Far And Wide: Is It Possible To Build An All-Canadian Home?

2 months ago | storeys.com | Erin Davis

It’s no secret that Canada’s homebuilding industry has seen better days. As we closed out 2024, factors such as labour shortages, high interest rates, and climbing development fees had resulted in the pause or cancellation of many new housing projects – and that was before tariffs shifted from talking point to stark reality. Now, the development industry's worry is that an ongoing trade war with the US could impact everything from consumer confidence to the pace of new home construction.
Canada's Population Is Aging, Where Is Everyone Going To Live?

Canada’s oldest Baby Boomers turn the big 8-0 next year. Though the country’s aging population is a long-understood reality, the stats put this demographic shift into perspective: The population of Canadian seniors (65+) is projected to swell to nearly one quarter of the overall population by 2040, according to the Government of Canada. Generally, Canada’s 65+ set is healthier, living longer, and enjoying more financial freedom than previous generations.
"Unwarranted And Reckless": Canada's Housing Industry Reacts To Tariffs

Mar 4, 2025 | storeys.com | Erin Davis

Well, it happened. South of the border, President Donald Trump’s ongoing tariff threats have turned into a reality. Sweeping 25% tariffs went into effect at 12:01am today. In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced tariffs on billions worth of American goods. As we outlined when the threats first emerged, this ultimately presents a lose-lose situation for both sides – with consumers’ bank accounts taking the hit in an already embattled economy. Of course, the housing market is no exception.
