    Edmonton-Secondary Suite Grant Program. Is it worth the hassle?

    We are at the stage where we are sending our proposal to the city to get approval. There has been no mention of "must be owner occupied" however that is the situation we are in. It`s been a long process and I`ll detail it all once it`s finally approved.
