Ottawa may raise minimum down payment for home buyers

Well this may not be good news for those of us in small cities like Prince George. It appears those that are borrowing everything to own a home in the big cities may affect those of us that have very reasonable priced homes in smaller places. If 2010 was the year you were planning on buying your first home you may want to talk to your mortgage broker or banker soon than later.

Not a good thing anytime but today the NT Air building at the Prince George airport burned to the ground. I think this building was built near the end of World War Two.
