Property Show: An exhibition of chalets in a remote resort in eastern canada and apartments, cottages and villas in the Caribbean will be on show at a property exhibition the weekend after next in the Four Seasons Hotel in Dublin.
The Canadian development is Humber Valley Resort, where condominiums cost from €235,000 and chalets from €424,000-plus; the Caribbean scheme is Ocean's Edge in St Kitts, where 185 properties overlooking Cable Bay cost from €242,000 to €424,000-plus.

Humber Valley is a year-round resort in an unlikely location - the western part of Canada's most easterly province - which has been a big hit with English and Irish buyers in recent years.
Properties in this lake-and-forest resort are high spec and activities include everything from skiing in winter on nearby Marble Mountain to swimming in Deer Lake in summer.
Facilities include a golf course, spa, snowmobile touring on Humber Valley trails as well as a clubhouse and restaurants.
There are twice-weekly direct charter flights from London Gatwick to Deer Lake regional airport in Newfoundland, about 20 minutes' drive from the resort.
Ocean's Edge in St Kitts is a development of 185 properties ranging from beach and hillside apartments, garden cottages and villas being built between a rain forest andthe beach.
Due to open in 2008, its facilities will include communal pools, fitness centre and spa, tennis courts, clubhouse and beach restaurant.
A Caribbean resort operator will market and manage rentals for owners.
St Kitts is part of the Leeward Islands, 40 miles west of antigua in the eastern Caribbean. A number of airlines fly either to Antigua or direct to the R L Bradshaw airport on st Kitts, about 10 minutes' from the resort.
