Beginning Tuesday, April 1 census takers will be knocking on Calgarian's doors.

The City of Calgary conducts a census every year, this year to gather information such as total number of residents, home owners, pre-school children and type of school system support said a release from the City of Calgary.

A survey conducted by TD found there's been a shift in the way Canadians are purchasing new homes.

Within the last two years, the survey found a quarter of Canadians who purchased a home did so on their own. Four out of 10 respondents surveyed said in the event of purchasing either a residence or vacation home with family or friends it was a great way to get started on the road to ownership.

Most residential buildings have at least one parking stall per unit, but a private developer is talking about constructing a condo in Calgary's East Village with no parking at all.

An emerging trend in major cities is catering to those without a vehicle, this includes condos without parking lots. Something which Calgary may soon see.
