Excerpt

"Changes in the Neighbourhood" was co-published by Human Resources Development Canada, the City of Red Deer, and the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, with funding support from all three organizations. As a result, we are able to offer it for 'transaction cost' - just enough to cover our staff time and mailing costs.

Bonus: if you order the printed binder, you also get free immediate access to the electronic pdf file. No credit card required - we will invoice you. Click here to order!
