The Canadian government recently relaxed measures that heretofore severely limited cross-border travel with the U.S. Even as a fully vaccinated Canadian citizen, prior to July 5 I would have been subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine and strict limitations regarding what I could and could not do while in the country. With the newly enacted changes, I am now exempt from the quarantine requirement, which opened the door for me to visit and help care for my ailing mother and father.

As if rising sea levels and increasingly powerful storms were not enough, add the wobbly orbit of the moon to flood risk factors. Scientists say fluctuations in the moon’s orbit will lead to a spate of fair weather flooding beginning in the mid-2030s. A recent study examined regular fluctuations in the moon’s orbit around the Earth occurring on an 18.6 year cycle.

Work on the south side of the house is wrapping up; now the focus is on the northwest corner which has long been marred by a hideous 1970’s carport. Both the carport and the concrete slab poured beneath it have contributed to water damage and other forms of deterioration. Eventually the carport will be removed, but for now it provides handy scaffolding for work in this area and shade/protection for projects beneath it.

Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
