You buy a neighbour-than a place to live. You buy a neighbour hood, and all that comes with it. For par-hood, and all that comes with it. For par-hood, and all that comes with it. For par ents, this means the perfect school. From the team behind HoodQ, there is now a solution for homebuyers in search of the home of their dreams in the neighbourhood of their dreams, that also takes into ac- count the school of their dreams. Introducing the SchoolQ resource, de- signed to help parents make informed deci- sions about schools - including specifics on school catchments, testing scores, and honest information about a school's com- munity, strengths and highlights. SchoolQ offers coverage and hyperlocal content for 130 cities across Canada and 2,400 neighbourhoods. "HoodQ and SchoolQ are the largest pro- viders of curated address and neighbour-viders of curated address and neighbour-viders of curated address and neighbour hood reports in Canada," said Peter Miller, CEO and Co-Founder. "After listening to frus- trated moms tell us about the many hours they've spent searching for school and neighbourhood information without feeling like they've found answers, it was clear we needed to create a one-stop source with a focus on schools, neighbourhoods and real estate." The new SchoolQ website offers Interac- tive Address Reports, Detailed Reports and Interactive School Reports, which provide insight into schools, school attendance, zones, SchoolQ scores, parks and recre- ation facilities, safety (including hospitals, police and fire stations), transit and more. There is nothing to learn or download. Users can create reports for any address (over 10 million in total) instantly - just by typing an address into the search bar. Advertorial Welcome to the neighbourhood (NC) Your home is where you store your most valuable possessions - from jewelry, to furniture, to electronics like laptops. Ensuring these things are protected requires home insurance. Start by looking for the best deal for your needs on a site like LowestRates. ca, which quickly and easily compares the insurance market for you. Once you're insured, it's important that you create an inventory list of what you have in your home. In ad- dition to traditional valuables, you should also consider adding books, fragrances, pots and pans, musical in- struments, shelves, rugs and mirrors to your home insurance list. Once you've created a list of the major items you own, it's important to compile some physical proof that you own these things. This way, if there is a catastrophic event such as a flood or fire, you can easily prove what was in your home so your insurance can replace it. Here are a few ways to do this: Video inventory: Documenting your possessions with visual evidence is a surefire way of proving ownership. The only downside is that inventory videos can be quite long: you may want to cre- ate timestamps so you can navigate your video more quickly. Inventory app: There are apps out there designed to make this entire pro- cess much easier. They include Magic Home Inventory, MyStuff and Sortly. These apps allow you to photograph your inventory and create itemized lists to easily sort through. Some of these apps require you to pay subscriptions, so they're not for everyone. A spreadsheet: This is the classic approach. You can do this digitally with Excel or Google files, saving you some time and ensuring your list can exist in multiple formats. You can cre- ate lists along with attached receipts to prove you owned everything in your home. However, this is the most time- consuming option, so opt for the other two choices if you want to save time. Make an easy home inventory list for insurance
