Soutern Ontario as a whole is doing really well for construction activity. If you're from Kingston, Guelph, St. Catherines, London or Windsor, I would love to hear about what development looks like in your area.

Please pardon the background noises in this episode. My roommate woke up early. But those are the true sounds of a morning coffee. ;)

NOTE: I'm on vacation starting tomorrow (out in the bush) so there won't be an episode until September 2nd.
