As Calgary grows so much about 80% of the homes are newer than 1970.
I think the #1 biggest thing would be Federal tax credits since it's been so wildly successful in the US.

It would be nice if the feds here did more to preserve the past (accurately) but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Too many activist groups want to rewrite history for that to happen.
