It is also clear that Nova Scotia is a high-end neighborhood with full access to utilities, neighborhood features and a majority of well-educated individuals, Ontario. If I were the buyer, I would reside in Nova Scotia because the location of a house is often the most significant factor. Even without taking into account surrounding facilities, the location of your home can have a significant impact on its future value. Some areas and cultures simply appreciate more quickly than others.

Using the same two locations as the activity above, you will now look at the image portrayed in the media for each of these neighbourhoods.

Using any credible news source, including online or print newspapers, TV news clips, and/or magazine articles (but not including blogs or personal opinion websites), select the five most recent news events that involve the neighbourhoods that you have identified.

For ONE of the two neighbourhoods that you selected, share:

links to each of the five most recent articles along with a one or two sentence summary of each;

the perspective that is presented about this neighbourhood when this group of information alone is analysed; and
