The evolution of housing in Ontario and Canada over the past 60 years is inexorably linked to improvements in our quality of life over this period of time. For example, in the early 1940s less than half of Canada's three million homes had an installed bath or shower and close to 30 per cent of dwellings were in need of major repairs.
