Interest rates to remain low till 2014

Ben Bernanke, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman announced yesterday that the American benchmark interest rate would stay low until at least late 2014.

Here in Canada, as recently as the weekend, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney highlighted that our economy continues to show resilience. Predicting modest growth for this year, he points to 2 per cent inflation as the economic speed limit. It is likely that Mr. Carney will not make an interest rate adjustment unless inflation becomes an issue.

As global economies work to achieve stability, the low rate policies of Canada and the U.S. should maintain mortgage rate stability for the next 12 to 18 months, unless Bond Rates begin to shift. More on that next time.

Here's a few articles discussing the above.

The Goodwin Learning Centre. A small place with a really big heart!

A small place with a really big heart! The Goodwin Learning Centre, is NOT your typical private school. The word
private is very misleading when applied to this small education school in the local town of Brighton. It consists of
less than 40 students, grade levels from JK to 8. Operating on a minimal level of staff, who have opted to follow the
strong and positive beliefs of this school in lieu of standard teaching salaries, to provide amazing and dedicated
success not only to enrich the students, but contribute back to local and global communities.

Sponsor the Small School with a Big Heart!

The school relies on tuition funds solely in which the past two years the hovering recession has had a major impact
on enrollment. As well, any sponsorship from local businesses has fallen short, as smaller community businesses
are not able to assist as in previous years as they work thru the slow economic times themselves.

 

If you wish to support this unique and positive school, please reach out to them at:

Mital & Rohit – would not hold any hesitation to recommend you to everyone we know.

It’s been more than a year now owning our home. We celebrated festivals, our parents visited us and every moment that we cherished in our new home we remembered you and Mark (our mortgage broker) and realized the true worth of your effort.

Without the support of you, we likely would have been frustrated with the process and walked away from our "forever home". You were always open to meeting when it worked best for us - late at night, on the weekends, or early morning, very accommodating as well as easy to talk to. Your honest opinions and suggestions help us to get this home. You were always steps ahead and your inputs like a Moving Check List, Utilities List with telephone numbers etc. were always a substantial help for beginners, first time home buyers, like us.

We are always delighted and feel proud when friends and relatives appreciate our new home and this is only because of you.

My wife and I both recognize and appreciate the distinguish service you provided to us and would not hold any hesitation to recommend you to everyone we know.

Best regards,

Mital & Rohit

Another Successful Annual National Garage Sale for The Shelter Foundation and Three Oaks Belleville

Who could have imagined that selling old dishes, unwanted furniture and outgrown toys could save a woman’s life and give a young person the chance for a brighter future?

Yet on Saturday, May 14, Royal LePagers from across the country once again came together to host the 3rd Annual National Garage Sale for Shelter and did just that. Thanks to your dedication, creativity, hard work and perseverance, we set a new record by raising more than $410,000 in support of local women’s shelters and violence prevention programs -- a 27 per cent increase over last year. Read our latest press release and a list of all Garage Sale for Shelter participants.

We also raised awareness of the issue of family violence and increased the profile of Royal LePage through dozens and dozens of newspaper and magazine articles, radio and TV interviews, and online listings -- totaling millions of media impressions!

Because of your support, women and children who have experienced family violence have a safe place to stay, a refuge from the worry, and the chance to live free of fear. You have shown that “someone out there” cares for their safety and well-being and wants them to have a better life.

An extra special thank you goes out to our extraordinary sponsors: TD Canada Trust Mobile Mortgage Specialists (National Presenting sponsor), Atlas Van Lines Canada (In-kind Moving and Transportation sponsor) and Advance Commission Company of Canada (Major Event sponsor). Their generous support and unparalleled commitment to our cause made this event possible.
