      <title>Before the Neighbourhoods: The Transformation of Davenport Hill</title>
      <description><![CDATA[It all started on a hill above the city. Today the most recognizable structure in the area is Casa Loma, and the surrounding neighbourhood is filled with quiet residential streets, parks, and historic homes.

      <title>Locked Up in Liberty: When Surveys Reveal Hard Truths</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Liberty Village is one of Toronto's youngest neighbourhoods. Many assume this area was nothing more than an industrial zone before it became overrun with tech start-ups and yoga studios. Wondering about the history, I pulled up some old surveys of the area, hoping to locate one that told the story behind this trendy neighbourhood. It did not take me long to find a plan dated 1886, which showed two large buildings. One labelled, ‘The Mercer Reformatory’ and the other, ‘Central Prison Grounds’. The word “ironic” immediately comes to mind. “Liberty Village”, a name suggesting freedom, was the foundation for the very grounds where people were anything but liberated.]]></description>

      <title>Survey Plans: The True Foundation of Your New Home Build</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Most homeowners think of surveying as something that simply defines where one property ends and another property begins, but behind the scenes, surveying plays a far bigger role. Especially when you're building a new home on a vacant lot. From before the land is purchased to the day construction wraps up, surveying is woven into every stage of the development process.]]></description>
