JANUARY NEWSLETTER | Page 3
Welcome! The past month gave us a wonderful opportunity to pause, reflect on the year behind us, and look ahead to everything still to come. We wrapped up the year by celebrating the season with our entire team, enjoying a memorable holiday gathering hosted by the CASO Station. Their 1920s-themed casino night was a fantastic way to come together, have some fun, and celebrate the incredible people who make up Doug Tarry Homes. Our Say Yes to the Address promotion continued to gain momentum and remains available until the end of this month. If you’ve been considering one of our Quick Possession Homes, now is the time to act before this exciting offer wraps up. This month also brought meaningful opportunities to give back. Suzie and Leslie had the chance to participate in Shop with a Cop, an incredible initiative where local police officers help children shop for holiday gifts using Walmart gift cards. It’s always heartwarming to see the joy and excitement this program brings to families in our community. We also hosted our Christmas Open House at our model homes, and what a festive success it was! Visitors enjoyed touring the homes, snapping photos with Buddy the Elf, making crafts, sipping hot cocoa, and soaking in the holiday spirit. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us — and congratulations to Nancy, our Berry Hill gift card winner!

Once again this year, our team proudly participated in #ProjectGiveBack, an initiative we started several years ago to support organizations in our community that need it most. This year, we were honoured to donate to: • Christmas Cares St. Thomas • Myrtle Animal Rescue & Sanctuary • Harvest Hands • The St. Thomas Salvation Army • St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank • Ronald McDonald House • and more Giving back remains a core part of who we are, and we’re grateful to be part of a community that shows such generosity and compassion. As we step into the new year, we want to thank everyone — our homeowners, partners, trades, and community — for an incredible year. We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to building more homes, connections, and meaningful moments together.
Warm regards,
The Sales and Marketing Team

MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION IS SIMPLE — UNPLUG, RECONNECT, AND CHOOSE WELLNESS As we approach a brand-new year, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want 2026 to look like for me. Instead of setting resolutions that fade by February, I’m choosing goals that feel realistic, grounding, and genuinely good for my mental health. At the top of my list is a commitment to unplug more often. Life moves fast, and it’s far too easy to get lost in constant notifications and endless scrolling. This year, I want to step back from the screen and be more intentional with my time—more present, more aware, and more connected to the world around me. And that leads to my second goal: spending more time with friends and family. These are the people who fill my life with support, laughter, and meaning. I want to carve out more space for coffee dates, family dinners, spontaneous visits, and the simple moments that make life feel full. Of course, no new year feels complete without a commitment to physical health. For me, that means joining a Pilates class and promising myself that I’ll go at least once a week. Not as punishment, not as pressure—just a way to move my body, build strength, and clear my mind. As I map out my own goals, I encourage you to take a moment to think about what resolutions might support your well-being this year. Choose goals that feel good for your mental health—goals that ground you, excite you, and add value to your everyday life. Big or small, what matters most is that they’re meaningful and sustainable. Here’s to a new year filled with presence, connection, and a little more kindness toward ourselves. Cheers to making 2026 a year worth remembering.

Miller’s Pond January is here, and it certainly didn’t arrive quietly. December brought plenty of snow and some serious cold—unless you’re in a Doug Tarry Home, where unmatched comfort and energy efficiency make winter feel a whole lot cozier. Fun January fact: January is named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions—making it the perfect month to plan what’s next, including a new home. There’s no better time of year to visit our model homes, explore available lots, and start building now for a just-in-time summer closing. Come feel the Doug Tarry difference and see how comfortable winter living can really be. For more information on Miller’s Pond, or the following Quick Possession Homes, give me a call at 519-207-3066 or email dcaspi@dougtarryghomes.com

THIS WINTER, FEEL THE DOUG TARRY DIFFERENCE This bone-chilling winter makes the comfort of a Doug Tarry Home obvious. Here’s why our homes stand out: Even Temperatures All Year Advanced insulation, continuous exterior sheathing, and extremely low air leakage keep your home warm and consistent from room to room—even on the coldest days. Warmer, Drier Basements With insulation in both basement walls and the slab, lower levels stay comfortable and usable, no matter how harsh the winter outside. Fresh Air Without the Chill A dedicated energy recovery ventilation system brings in filtered, fresh air while capturing heat from outgoing air, keeping indoor air healthy without letting the cold in. Efficient Heating That Works Smarter Precisely sized, high-efficiency heating systems paired with a tight building envelope maintain comfort efficiently, even during extreme cold snaps. Peace and Quiet Enhanced construction and insulation reduce outdoor noise, making your home a calm retreat from winter storms. Tested and Verified Performance Every feature is third-party tested to ensure our homes handle Canada’s toughest weather, keeping families warm, comfortable, and confident. BEST BUNCH AROUND!! A big banana-sized thank you to this amazing team! Your support, knowledge, and teamwork make every day brighter, every challenge easier, and every win sweeter. Thanks for all the laughs, the ideas, and just being the best bunch! DREW YEARS RESOLUTION: My goal is to read 12 Books, including 1 in FRENCH. We are determined to pass along the bilingual skills of my wife along to our daughter, so dad (me) better step up his highest study of the language being Grade 9 French and conjugate more than just verbs. I am most often a news article/magazine reader, as I enjoy current events to keep up with this rapidly changing economy and real estate market. I will report back in our June Newsletter as my halfway point to see where I am at with this, I feel like it is not a tall task, but with a newborn I can see this being a challenge for me anyway. I also should note that all these books will be read from our wonderful public library here in St. Thomas, if you haven’t been, GO and get reading!! Happy New Year to all, may 2026 be kind, healthy and exciting! Page 18 | JANUARY NEWSLETTER

Home Tight At Doug Tarry Homes, we focus on building homes that don’t just look good — they perform better. One of the technologies we rely on to deliver consistent comfort is Aeroseal, and realworld results continue to prove its value.

Tim, a home repair contractor, understands construction and HVAC systems well. Still, he found himself frustrated in his own home. No matter how high he turned up the air conditioning, the upstairs rooms remained 10 degrees hotter than the main floor. Comfort was uneven, and the issue persisted even after installing a new high-efficiency air conditioner. The turning point came when Tim’s HVAC specialist identified the real problem: excessive duct
leakage. Conditioned air simply wasn’t making it where it needed to go. As a contractor, Tim tried sealing the ducts manually himself, spending several days on the process — but even that didn’t solve the issue. That’s when he decided to try Aeroseal. Aeroseal seals duct leaks from the inside out, targeting areas that traditional methods often can’t reach. The results were immediate and dramatic. Duct leakage was reduced by more than 90%, and most importantly, the temperature difference between rooms dropped to less than one degree. For the first time, the upstairs was just as comfortable as the rest of the home. These results highlight why Aeroseal plays such an important role in high-performance homebuilding. Better airflow, balanced temperatures, and systems that work as designed all contribute to a healthier, more comfortable living environment. It’s another example of how thoughtful construction details and proven building science come together at Doug Tarry Homes — and clear proof that Aeroseal works. Warm regards,
the Home Tight Team Page 24 | JANUARY NEWSLETTER

A message from our President As we welcome a new year, I always find myself taking a moment to pause and reflect. Another year of building, learning, and growing has come and gone, and I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has been part of the journey. To our homeowners, thank you for trusting us with something as meaningful as your home. It is a privilege we never take lightly. To our trades, suppliers, and partners, your skill, dedication, and collaboration continue to raise the bar. And to our team, whose commitment and heart show up in every project, I couldn’t be prouder. This past year was filled with exciting progress, meaningful connections, and moments that reminded us why we love what we do. Watching families move into their homes, seeing neighbourhoods come to life, and working side by side with so many passionate people has been incredibly rewarding. As we step into 2026, I’m excited about what lies ahead. We’ll continue focusing on building healthier, more efficient homes; supporting local initiatives; and doing our part to make St. Thomas and the surrounding communities even stronger. Thank you for walking alongside us. I wish you and your families a year filled with health, happiness, and meaningful moments. Here’s to new beginnings, continued progress, and a wonderful 2026!
