ECO-FRIENDLY UPGRADES By Micheal Thompson, Odyssey Virtual
Making your home more eco-friendly isn’t just good for the planet—it’s also good for your wallet. Energy- efficient upgrades can reduce monthly bills, increase property value, and may even qualify for government rebates or tax credits. Whether you’re renovating or simply looking to cut costs, here are some smart green investments that deliver both immediate savings and long-term benefits.
JULY 25 / OTM / 6
Insulation and Sealing
Smart Thermostats
reduce the need for costly maintenance. Strategic tree planting can even help with home insulation by providing shade in the summer and windbreaks in the winter. The Bottom Line Eco-friendly home upgrades are more than a trend—they’re a smart investment. By focusing on sustainability, you not only reduce your environmental impact but also increase comfort, boost your home’s resale value, and save money in the long run. Whether you start small or plan a major retrofit, green choices are always a win-win.
One of the most cost-effective eco-upgrades is improving your home’s insulation. By sealing air leaks and adding insulation in attics, basements, and walls, you reduce the need for constant heating or cooling. This means lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment year-round. Weather stripping doors and windows or installing energy- efficient windows can further enhance performance and reduce drafts.
A smart thermostat allows you to control your home’s heating and cooling from your phone, and some models learn your schedule to optimize energy use. By adjusting temperatures when you’re asleep or away, these devices can lower your utility bills while keeping your home comfortable.
Low-Flow Plumbing Fixtures
Low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads reduce water consumption without compromising pressure. These simple upgrades help conserve water—a valuable resource— and lower your water bill over time.
Energy-Efficient Appliances
Replacing older appliances with ENERGY STAR-rated models can dramatically reduce electricity and water use. Refrigerators, dishwashers,
Solar Panels
washing machines, and even water heaters are now designed to use less energy without sacrificing performance. Though the
While solar panels represent a larger initial investment, they offer one of the highest returns over time. Solar energy can offset or even eliminate your electricity bill and, in some cases, you can sell excess energy back to the grid. Many governments also offer incentives that help make solar more accessible for homeowners.
upfront cost may be higher, the monthly savings on utilities can add up quickly.
LED Lighting
Switching from incandescent or halogen bulbs to LEDs is one of the simplest and most affordable eco-friendly changes you can make. LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy and last significantly longer, reducing both energy bills and the frequency of replacements.

THE NEW APPEAL OF SMALL TOWN LIVING By Alana Lauren
homeownership more accessible for first-time buyers, growing families, and retirees alike. With more square footage, larger lots, and access to nature, rural properties offer an unmatched lifestyle value. The rise of remote work has also played a key role in this shift. As many professionals no longer need to commute daily, they are free to prioritize quality of life over proximity to the office. Quiet streets, friendly neighbours, and a sense of community have become major selling points. In small towns, residents often enjoy less congestion, and a slower pace that fosters stronger personal connections. Beyond affordability and lifestyle, small-town living offers unique opportunities for
outdoor recreation. From hiking and fishing to gardening and hobby farming, rural properties support a wide range of activities that urban settings simply can’t match. For some buyers, it’s not just about escaping city life—it’s about returning to their roots. Many are drawn to the familiar charm of hometowns or regions where family ties and traditions run deep. As homebuyers continue to reassess their priorities, small- town and rural properties are becoming increasingly desirable—offering not just a house, but a lifestyle centered on space, serenity, and community.
In recent years, small-town living has seen a remarkable resurgence. Once overlooked in favour of urban convenience, rural communities are now drawing homebuyers seeking a different pace of life—one rooted in simplicity, space, and connection. One of the benefits of the Island is the fact that rural properties are still close to amenities. One of the biggest appeals of small-town living is affordability. Homebuyers can often purchase larger properties for a fraction of urban prices, making

Potted tress are a beautiful addition to your outdoor space. Use them to create some privacy on your deck or patio - we’ve chosen six that will thrive potted on your patio or outdoor space this summer.
SIX POTTED TREES THAT ARE PATIO-PERFECT
CITRUS TREES
You can start citrus trees from seeds if you have the patience, or buy them from a reliable greenhouse. They will thrive on your patio but, you will need to bring them inside for the winter.
OLIVE TREE
Olive trees have become popular in the last few years. Find a sunny spot outdoors during the warmer months and bring it in for the winter.
BOXWOOD TOPIARY
Boxwood make beautiful topiaries and are perfect beside your entry. There are a variety of dwarf conifers you can keep in pots over the winter but ensure the planter can survive the fluctuating temperatures when the soil expands and contracts.
FICUS BENJAMINA
Ficus trees have been a favourite indoor tree for decades, they also love to be outside during the summer. Place your ficus in an area with good sun but not where the tree will dry out too quickly. When fall weather approaches find a sunny window indoors.
JAPANESE MAPLE
With their elegant leaves and delicate branches, Japanese maples are a beautiful focal point in your outdoor space. Consult with an expert on how to over winter this tree.
JADE PLANT
These succulent houseplants are adaptable and easy-growing. This plant is slow-growing—gaining only about two inches of height per year, but it can reach a total height between three and six feet. Place in a an area that receives indirect light; a south- facing or west-facing spot works well.
This gimlet has the perfect touch of sweetness, tang, and zip.
BASIL VODKA GIMLET
Servings 2
INGREDIENTS
6 large basil leaves, torn into thin strips zest of 1/2 lime, finely grated 1 lime, juiced 1/2 ounce simple syrup 2 1/2 ounces vodka small basil sprigs, to garnish

CONDOS VS. DETACHED HOMES:
Condos appeal to those seeking a low-maintenance, convenient lifestyle. Ideal for busy professionals, retirees, or first-time buyers, condos often come with amenities like fitness centres, shared outdoor spaces, and even concierge services. With building maintenance, landscaping, and snow removal typically handled by the condo board, owners can enjoy a more hands-off experience. Detached homes, on the other hand, offer greater privacy, more space, and full control over your property. This is often the preferred choice for families or anyone desiring a backyard, garden, or room to grow. However, that added freedom comes with the responsibility of managing all upkeep, repairs, and maintenance on your own.
Which Is Right for You? Comparing lifestyle, costs, and long-term value
By Alana Lauren
When it comes to buying a home, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is choosing between a condominium and a detached house. Both offer unique benefits and challenges, and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and future plans. Here’s a breakdown to help you make an informed decision.
JULY 25 / OTM / 14
Condos are generally more affordable than detached homes in terms of purchase price, especially in urban centres where land is limited. This makes condos an attractive option for budget- conscious buyers looking to enter the market. However, it’s important to factor in monthly condo fees, which cover shared maintenance, amenities, and building insurance. Detached homes tend to be more expensive upfront but come with fewer monthly fees. You’ll be responsible for property taxes, utility costs, and any ongoing maintenance, but you won’t have to pay into a condo corporation or adhere to shared rules and regulations. When it comes to appreciation, detached homes historically offer stronger long-term value due to land ownership. Land tends to increase in value over time, making detached homes a solid investment, particularly in growing or in-demand neighbourhoods. Condos can also appreciate but often at a slower rate. Their value is more closely tied to building management, condition, and market trends. That said, well-maintained and well-located condos can still be a smart investment, particularly for those looking for rental income or a convenient urban lifestyle. One major distinction is the level of control. With a detached home, you can
renovate, landscape, or even expand your home to suit your needs. Condos often have strict rules regarding renovations, pets, and noise, which can be limiting for some. Choosing between a condo and a detached home ultimately comes down to your priorities. If you crave convenience, amenities, and a turn-key lifestyle, a condo may be the right fit. If you value space, privacy, and the freedom to make your home your own, a detached house is likely the better option. Carefully consider your lifestyle needs, financial goals, and long-term plans to find the property type that’s right for you.

Decks and Patios:
One of the most desirable features for homebuyers today is a spacious, well-maintained deck or patio. These areas extend your living space and offer a place to gather, dine, or relax. Composite decking continues to grow in popularity due to its low maintenance and sleek appearance, while natural wood remains a timeless option for those who prefer a more rustic feel. Consider adding built-in seating or raised planters for a touch of custom design.
Outdoor Kitchens and Dining Spaces
Alfresco dining has taken on a whole new meaning. More homeowners are investing in outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, sinks, and prep space. Even a simple setup with a quality grill, stylish table, and weatherproof lighting can make a big impression. Buyers love the idea of entertaining outdoors without having to run back and forth between the kitchen and the backyard.
Outdoor Living Trends: Boosting Your Home’s Appeal From decks to fire pits—features buyers love As homebuyers increasingly value lifestyle and livability, outdoor spaces have become a key factor in real estate appeal. A well-designed backyard or patio isn’t just a bonus anymore—it’s an essential part of how buyers evaluate a home’s comfort, functionality, and entertainment potential. Whether you’re planning to sell or simply want to enhance your own enjoyment, incorporating outdoor living trends can dramatically increase both your home’s value and its visual impact. By Alana Lauren
Fire Features:
Few things add ambiance like a fire pit or outdoor fireplace. These cozy features create a focal point for gatherings and extend the usability of your yard into cooler evenings. Gas fire tables, stone fire pits, or modern chimineas are all great options depending on your style and space. They’re also a strong selling point for buyers seeking year-round outdoor enjoyment.
Garden Zones and Green Touches Landscaping is another crucial element of outdoor appeal. Raised garden beds, native plants, pollinator-friendly flowers, and vertical gardens are all on trend and easy to implement. Buyers appreciate a low-maintenance, thoughtfully designed yard that feels like an extension of the home rather than an afterthought.
Covered Spaces for Year- Round Use Pergolas, gazebos, or retractable awnings provide shade in summer and shelter in spring or fall, giving your outdoor space more versatility. These structures not only add visual interest but also create functional zones that help buyers imagine how they’d use the space.
Lighting for Mood and Safety Finally, good lighting can transform an outdoor space from simple to stunning. String lights, pathway markers, and solar-powered spotlights all add ambiance while improving safety and visibility. By incorporating even a few of these outdoor living trends, you can dramatically increase your home’s curb appeal, buyer interest, and overall marketability. After all, when it comes to real estate, creating a welcoming, usable outdoor oasis is one of the smartest moves a homeowner can make.

ORANGE CHESS PIE 8 Servings
The creamy pie is the perfect vehicle to incorporate your favourite citrus, like orange or lemon. It’s the perfect refreshing flavour for summer.
JULY 25 / OTM / 26 JUNE 25 / OTM / 26
teaspoon kosher salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE FILLING: 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup stone ground cornmeal 1 tbs all-purpose flour
Melt five tablespoons unsalted butter. Add to the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Whisk in five large eggs one at a time, incorporating each egg before the next, without adding too much air. Add three quarters of a cup heavy cream, two-thirds of a cup orange juice, two tablespoons lemon juice, and one teaspoon vanilla paste or extract, and whisk to combine. Pour into the cooled par-baked pie shell. Bake pie on a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven until golden and center has a slight wobble (it will continue to cook as it cools), about 55 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent overbaking. Turn off heat and leave pie in the oven slightly open to cool gently and prevent the custard from cracking.
1 tbs finely grated orange zest 1 tbs finely grated lemon zest 1 tsp kosher salt 5 tbs unsalted butter 5 large eggs 3/4 cup heavy cream 2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tps vanilla paste or vanilla extract
1 frozen or homemade pie crust
METHOD
FOR THE PIE CRUST: Place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven, then heat the oven to 400°F. Arrange two large sheets of crinkled parchment paper perpendicular to each other over the crust, making sure they cover the entire pie shell and crust (this prevents over browning during the final bake). Check if all the squares are attached securely, if not dab the pieces with egg wash, otherwise they might slide off during baking. Fill the parchment paper-lined pie shell with granulated sugar until it reaches the rim – gently push the sugar towards the edges, it won’t be exact, but it will help the border maintain its shape and keep the walls from shrinking. Bake on the heated baking sheet for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment with sugar (keep the sugar for future use). Prick the bottom of the crust again with a fork. Bake until the bottom is set, three to five minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Place one and a quarter cups granulated sugar, quarter of a cup cornmeal, one tablespoon orange zest, one tablespoon lemon zest, onetablespoon all-purpose flour, and one FOR THE FILLING:
Transfer to a wire rack after an hour; let cool completely, four to five hours.

Moving to PEI: A Relocation Guide for New Islanders
By Alana Lauren Photo: Odyssey Virtual
JULY 25 / OTM / 28 JUNE 25 / OTM / 28
Utilities, high-speed internet, and other essential services are widely available across the Island, though some rural areas may have limited access compared to larger urban centers.
Understanding the Real Estate Market PEI’s real estate market has seen steady growth in recent years, but remains affordable compared to larger urban centers in Canada. Waterfront properties, hobby farms, and acreage are particularly attractive to those relocating for lifestyle changes. While inventory can be competitive, working with a local real estate agent familiar with the market is key to finding the right property.
Prince Edward Island has long captured the hearts of visitors with its stunning coastal views, friendly communities, and slower pace of life. For many, that brief visit turns into something more permanent. If you’re considering relocating to PEI, here’s a helpful guide to make your transition smooth and enjoyable.
Island Life and Community
One of PEI’s greatest strengths is its sense of community. Islanders are known for being friendly and welcoming, and there are countless ways to get involved—from community events and festivals to local sports and volunteer organizations. Summers are filled with farmers markets, beach days, and musical events, while winters offer cozy gatherings and seasonal celebrations.
Employment and Business Opportunities
While tourism, agriculture, and fisheries have long been PEI’s economic staples, recent years have seen growth in sectors such as healthcare, education, information technology, and entrepreneurship. Many new Islanders bring their businesses or start fresh ventures, drawn
Choosing Your Community
Practical Considerations
PEI may be Canada’s smallest province, but it offers a variety of living experiences. Charlottetown, the capital city, provides urban amenities, shopping, dining, and cultural attractions while still maintaining small-town charm. Summerside offers a similar balance on the western side of the Island, with a strong sense of community and growing business opportunities. For those seeking rural life, countless smaller communities and coastal villages offer peaceful living, breathtaking views, and close-knit neighbourhoods. Areas like Stratford, Cornwall, Kensington, and Montague are popular choices for newcomers who want a balance between rural and suburban living.
Before your move, ensure all your documentation is in order, especially if relocating from out of province or internationally. Arrange for vehicle registration, driver’s license transfer, and any necessary permits. Many newcomers find that hiring a relocation specialist or real estate professional simplifies the process.
by the Island’s supportive business community and
government programs aimed at attracting new residents and investors. Healthcare, Education, and Services PEI offers a solid healthcare system, but it’s important to register for a PEI Health Card as soon as you arrive. The province also provides excellent public and private school options, as well as post- secondary institutions like the University of Prince Edward Island and Holland College.
A Fresh Start Awaits
Moving to PEI offers more than just a change of address—it’s a lifestyle rooted in community, nature, and balance. Whether you’re coming for career opportunities, retirement, or simply a new adventure, Prince Edward Island welcomes you with open arms and endless possibilities.
