As the saying goes, spring forward, fall back…
Winter is only weeks away and freezing cold nights aren’t the only major change winter brings. Sunrise and sunset will be an hour earlier so that there’s more light in the morning.
Daylight savings time will end with a “fall back” to standard time on Sunday November 6, at 2 a.m.
“Daylight Savings Time” is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one hour during the longer days of summer, and back again in the fall.
So, don’t forget to turn back your clocks this weekend and enjoy that extra hour of sleep Saturday night!

Calculate Your Required Down Payment Under The New Canadian Rules
As of February 14, 2016, new federal rules require larger down payments on some home purchases. If you’re a first-time buyer buying property less than $500,000, nothing changes. Over $500,000 however, there are changes that will definitely affect down payments.
If you’re uncertain about what the changes will mean for you and your family, have a look at this Royal Bank infographic to discover more:

Time to Change Your Furnace Filters
Clean or change the filter on your furnace regularly so that it will run more efficiently.
To keep your furnace working at its optimal performance you need to either change or clean your furnace filter on a regular basis. Furnace filters that become clogged with dirt and dust particles don’t clean air efficiently and force your furnace to work harder. Not to mention that dirty filters can increase operating costs and affect the life and efficiency of heating and air conditioning equipment.
If the filter is reusable, remove it, wash down with a hose and then re-insert. Otherwise, you’ll want to replace it with a new one. Always invest in the best filter you can afford after considering your furnace requirements. Not only will it clean your household air better, it may not need to be replaced as frequently as a cheaper model.

2016 Leaf & Pumpkin Composting Program
This year’s Leaf & Pumpkin Composting Program will run from Saturday September 24 to Sunday November 6, 2016.
During this program residents can recycle their bagged leaves and pumpkins by taking them to a leaf and pumpkin composting drop-off location. Composting leaves and pumpkins is an easy way to keep material out of the landfills and is one of the many ways people can reduce waste, reuse and recycle.
Brown bags are best!
Residents are encouraged to use paper yard waste bags, available at many local yard and garden retailers. They are:
1. Better for the environment
Because these bags are made of paper, they are completely compostable along with the leaves and pumpkins, leaving no waste behind. Plastic bags are not compostable and are unfit for recycling after the contents are removed, so all that plastic ends up in the landfill.
2. More efficient
City workers can put paper yard waste bags straight into the compost rows without the additional step of opening the bags and removing the contents.
Seasonal drop-off locations have been set up around Calgary. Drop-off Locations »
