If you are ever in our sunny capital (longest skating rink in the world (Jan and Feb only!)) visit their library - a great destination for the truly keen GBLister.

Dear Folks on the Greenbuilding Listserve:

I have used stuff from the Canadian Municipal Housing Corp (or whatever that CMHC) stands for, in my research and writing and it's all GREAT.  I spect this guide/directory will be too.

The first and only comprehensive guide of its kind in Canada, this practical sourcebook will help persons with asthma, allergies or other sensitivities make healthy choices for their home.
