    APS 2012 - Housing market in military driven communities

    I conducted my first HHT in Petawawa in 1997.  At that time the most expensive houses were located in The Forests at a whopping $124,000.  The townhouses on Victoria Street were being built at that time at a new sale price of $74,900.  Today, those same houses in The Forests are selling in the...

    APS 2012 - Housing market in military driven communities

    This describes the situation in Petawawa this year accurately.  Agents are indicating that this year, sales are 10% lower than last, and last year was lower than the previous year.  Having just sold in Pet, after languishing on the market for some time, I can attest to the facts of your post. ...

    Petawawa Thread- Merged

    For what its worth, the new houses on Bedard, etc are selling starting at high 360s up to 400.  However, most, if not all, of the new homes being built do not come with a fenced yard, paved driveway, deck, air conditioning, sodded yard, and a finished basement.  If you are going to pay 400K for...

    Text message blows up suicide bomber by accident

    This isn't the first time a terrorist has been taken out by modernity.  The Engineer, Yahya Ayyash, was killed when he answered a cell phone.  The phone had originally been given to him by a relative who previously had been picked up by the Israelis.  The Israelis "persuaded" the relative to put...

    Do section cdrs want/need a PDA with info from their own mini-UAV?

    The feeds only came into the CP so were not so useful to the Sect Comd on the ground.  Also, no Rovers were offered to us.  The TACP did a great job for the Bn Gp HQ but that's were the FMV stopped.  The terrain for the Sect Comd was complex.  Dense woods, terrain changes, close country, large...

    Investigator in Stogran's office on deck as new veterans ombudsman

    In Ottawa, its command by committee and leadership by consensus.  Those who rock the boat or create friction find doors closed to them.  I suspect Col S worked within the system as much as he could but when he found the door waiting for him at the end, he decided to vocalize his concerns.  For...
