A neighbourhood built on veterans and their families, Montgomery Place is a true community of diverse individuals in the heart of Saskatoon. Many of the street signs are dedicated to major battles and personnel from the Second World War and the Korean War; and each year, as a remembrance of the origins of the community, Montgomery Place holds an outdoor Remembrance Day celebration.

This remarkable community was named a Historic Site in 2016 and features many gardens, parks and walking paths. Montgomery Place is built on the hard work and dedication of the veterans who turned an area of land into a genuine community of people. The Montgomery Place Community Association offers programs for younger people such as Girl Guides and Boy Scouts and is a community dedicated to raising up the generations to come with honour, respect, and genuine values.

Throughout the years, the community of Montgomery Place has both thrived and suffered but always come through stronger and more established. Some of the time honoured traditions have been flourishing in the Montgomery Place community for years such as the garage sale that takes place on the first Saturday of May every year and various community classes such as Outdoor Yoga and Fitness.

Decorating your new home in Saskatoon can be a big task. Not only do you have to pick out and stage the furniture, but also tastefully add photos and artwork to the walls. Some people lack the spatial awareness to look at a wall and decipher how to hang artwork/photos. So, here are a few tips to help you decorate your home like a pro:

• Determine the layout – A trick for gallery walls or to hang more than one piece, is to use painters tape and paper to figure out spacing and visually see what the wall or staircase will look like. It will save you having to readjust after you’ve hammered in the nails.
• Don’t be afraid of overlap – If hanging art is too much of a hassle for you and you’d rather just put your photos on a shelf, don’t be afraid to layer them. Doing so creates depth and frees up space for other items.
• Hang it at the right height – When hanging a single piece nothing is worse than it being too high or too low. Check out this formula to know how high to hang your photo/artwork
• Line ‘em up – Hanging multiple pieces in a row that are different sizes can be tricky, so make sure to line up the middle of the pieces, not the top, as it will be more visually appealing
