The South End divisions, located in Guelph, ON. (Clairfields, Westminster Woods and Pine Ridge subdivisions) were a new development site that also includes a number of green demonstration homes, including Canada’s first LEED Platinum home and a water efficient Blue Built Home, built with [[Infiltration trenches]] in the backyards of the homes.
