"It can be difficult to be a leader, to be among the first to try to change the way we look at houses. Not just granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, but as places that affect the environment. I hope that customers will demand more of these homes."
-Peter Love, Chief Energy Conservation Officer (Ontario)

"[Carriage Lane Homes] received a certificate of recognition from Ontario's Chief Energy Conservation Officer, which was presented at a Green Key To The Future ceremony, hosted by the Lord Mayor."
