As temperatures rise, it’s tempting to rely solely on air conditioning to stay comfortable—but it’s not your only option. Whether you’re trying to cut back on energy costs, reduce your environmental impact, or simply get more out of your cooling system, there are plenty of smart, AC-free ways to keep your home feeling comfortable.

In fact, some of the most effective cooling methods don’t involve air conditioning at all—and even if you do have AC, these tips can help it work more efficiently and keep your home cooler throughout the season.

Optimize your ceiling fan direction

One of the most overlooked ways to cool your home is using your ceiling fan correctly. Many people don’t realize that fans have a switch to change their rotation direction. In the summer, set the fan to spin counterclockwise. This pushes air downward and creates a cooling wind-chill effect.

When colder weather returns, switch the direction clockwise and run it on low to gently circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.

Keep hot air out

When outdoor temperatures are higher than inside your home, keep windows and doors closed to prevent heat from seeping in. Open them only when the outside air is cooler, typically early in the morning or later at night.

To block out sunlight, close curtains or blinds during the hottest parts of the day. Blackout blinds are especially effective at reducing heat gain. Choose lighter colours like white or beige, which reflect rather than absorb sunlight.

Time your appliance use wisely

Large appliances like ovens, dishwashers, and washing machines produce considerable heat while running. To avoid overheating your home:

• Avoid using the oven during the day. Instead, try a microwave, slow cooker, or head outside and fire up the BBQ.

• Run laundry and dishwashing cycles in the evening when it’s cooler and when many utility companies offer lower off-peak electricity rates.

Upgrade your light bulbs

Still using incandescent light bulbs? Consider switching to LED or CFL bulbs. Incandescent bulbs release about 90% of their energy as heat. LEDs stay cool to the touch and last significantly longer, making them both a heat- and cost-saving upgrade.

Keep interior doors open

Good airflow is key to keeping your home cool. Leave interior doors open, especially if you’re using fans or relying on natural air circulation to move cooler air through your space.

Stay cool while you sleep

Getting a restful night’s sleep during a heatwave can be a challenge. Here are a few tips to keep you comfortable:

• Choose breathable bedding such as cotton sheets, which help wick moisture and promote airflow.

• Open windows at night if the temperature outside is lower than indoors.

• Chill a hot water bottle with cold water and place it at your feet for relief.

• Sleep on the lowest level of your home, since heat rises. A basement couch might be cooler than your upstairs bedroom during peak heat.

Ditch the rugs

Heavy rugs can trap heat. Roll them up and store them during the summer to help floors stay cooler, especially if you have hardwood, tile, or concrete surfaces.

Plant strategically for shade

For a long-term solution, consider planting deciduous trees or installing pergolas or trellises with climbing plants near windows or patios. These natural shade sources can drastically reduce the sun’s impact on your home during summer months.

By making a few small adjustments, you can create a cooler, more comfortable home environment all summer long without relying entirely on air conditioning. You’ll save on energy bills and stay comfortable through even the hottest days.

For the fifth consecutive announcement, Canada’s central bank leaves the key lending rate untouched

In its fourth scheduled announcement of 2026, the Bank of Canada held the target for the overnight lending rate at 2.25%. This marks the fifth consecutive hold to interest rates since October of last year.

As the conflict in the Middle East continues, elevated energy prices and ongoing supply chain pressures are contributing to higher inflation, even as Canada’s economy remains soft. While employment levels have remained relatively stable, economic growth has weakened and uncertainty surrounding United States trade policy persists, factors that influenced the Bank’s decision to keep the key lending rate at its current level this month. 

“Since our April decision, the economic impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has increased. Higher energy prices and disruptions in global supply chains are weighing on global growth and pushing up inflation. At the same time, the US administration continues to propose new tariffs and trade policy uncertainty remains elevated,” said Tiff Macklem, Governor of the Bank of Canada, in a press conference with reporters following the announcement. “Against this backdrop, the Canadian economy has remained soft and inflation has increased. Monetary policy continues to be focused on ensuring higher energy prices do not turn into persistent inflation, while helping the economy adjust to headwinds. We are committed to keeping inflation low and stable over time.

“Economic weakness combined with rising inflation is a dilemma for monetary policy. Raising rates to dampen inflation could further slow the economy. Easing rates to support growth increases the risk that higher inflation becomes persistent. For now, holding the policy rate unchanged balances those risks.”

Canada’s economy is caught between competing pressures. Statistics Canada reported that GDP contracted 0.1% on an annualized basis in Q1 2026, confirming a technical recession. At the same time, inflation has edged higher; the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.8% year over year in April, up from 2.4% in March, driven largely by higher gasoline prices. That increase reflects both ongoing geopolitical tensions and a base effect from April 2025, when the removal of the federal consumer carbon levy had temporarily suppressed fuel costs. Meanwhile, the labour market has shown some resilience, with the unemployment rate dipping to 6.6% in May.

Stable borrowing costs underpin gradual market recovery

With the overnight rate holding steady, buyers entering the market can do so with a clearer sense of what borrowing will cost them. Variable mortgage rates will remain predictable in the near term, removing one layer of uncertainty from the purchase decision. For those who have been waiting on the sidelines, that stability – even in the absence of a rate cut – may be enough to prompt a move.

“The Bank of Canada finds itself balancing conflicting economic signals. On one hand, May’s employment report delivered a surprisingly strong 156,000 new full-time jobs. On the other, Canada has now entered a technical recession following two consecutive quarters of economic contraction. Add to that the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing CUSMA review, which continues to weigh on consumer and business confidence, and the Bank’s decision to hold rates becomes easier to understand,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage®. 

“There is a silver lining in the current state of Canada’s housing market. Stable borrowing costs are helping to restore buyer confidence, and we are beginning to see sales momentum build in many regions across the country. Provided the broader economic environment does not deteriorate further, we expect the recovery to strengthen through the second half of the year.”

According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Forecast, the aggregate1 price of a home in Canada decreased 2.0% year over year to $812,900 in the first quarter of 2026. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, however, the national aggregate home price remained relatively flat, increasing just 0.7%.

The Bank of Canada will make its next interest rate announcement on July 15th, 2026.

Ecole Elémentaire Ladner Elementary School is situated in the heart of Ladner (in the Corporation of Delta) and is part of Delta School District No. 37. The school is dual-track, which means that two complete programs from Kindergarten to Grade 7 are offered in the same building: one in French and the other in English. Currently, 590 students are enrolled at Ladner Elementary School, with approximately 50% of these students participating in the French Immersion program.

Our Mission Statement:

To foster self-worth, a cooperative attitude and the desire and skills needed to be enthusiastic life-long learners.

For more information about Ladner Elementary, please click here.

Delta’s Home Quest program is a collaborative partnership between the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care, the Delta School District and families seeking an alternative to traditional classroom-based instruction. The program is designed for students living throughout British Columbia in Kindergarten to Grade 9.

Home Quest is a Provincial Online School that offers students a range of online and in-person opportunities to enhance and broaden their educational experiences. Students have the option to engage in both teacher-led learning through in-person and virtual class in combination with self-directed at home learning that is led by a home facilitator and supported by HQ staff. We are a blended, choice program.

Home Quest students have access to Delta School District’s teachers, educational resources, provincial curriculum materials, and optional hands-on learning experiences. We support families in maintaining effective learning and assessment practices. We offer flexible learning opportunities, while following the guidelines of the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care for Provincial Online Learning.

Home Quest students are provided with online learning activities and courses through the Brightspace platform. Teachers offer both in-person and virtual classes, as well as a weekly outdoor class option. When not attending an optional weekly class, students learn with the guidance of a Home Facilitator which is supplied by the family. Together, the student and Home Facilitator (which tends to be a parent or family member) explore the curriculum independently at home with resources approved by the Home Quest teacher. Home Facilitators are responsible for uploading and providing evidence of learning to their Home Quest teacher. Formal Delta School District report cards and feedback on student progress are provided through the Home Quest program.

Home Quest

As you begin researching Online Learning programs, you will find Home Quest is unique. At Home Quest, we are focused on flexibility and blending the family’s vision of education with the Ministry guidelines.

Home Quest is a blended program, sitting in the middle of the continuum between Traditional and Homeschool and between Homeschool and strictly Online Learning. We are a Provincial Online School and thereby follow the Provincial Online Guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education. See Online Learning BC

Our professional, B.C. certified teachers are experienced in the Online, Traditional and Homeschool educational models and philosophies. We are open-minded and creative in assisting a family with their journey. Home Quest does not assign a set curriculum to our community of learners, but helps to create each student’s path – one child and one family at a time, creating the ultimate in diversified learning. 

Part of the Delta School District, we are located on the bottom floor at Annieville Elementary located in North Delta. 9240 112 Street Delta BC.

Nautsa’ Mawt:  Outdoor Learning Grades 1-7

Our outdoor program works to explore our community from and Indigenous Perspective through the Naut sa’ Mawt and First Peoples Principles of Learning. We spend our mornings investigating, observing the land and living things that inhabit the area. Our afternoons often involve time in our story studio creating, connecting and sharing.
