In Ottawa a National Research Council supported test builds houses under polythene domes like wartime Nissen huts. Armstrong Construction used laminated arches and plastic film to create a self heated, 45 degree warmer interior, withstood 50 mph winds and snow. If successful, domes could be moved and reused, advancing year round construction and pay.

Paved Highway Stretches Across Two-Thirds Of Canada
A Canadian Press survey shows Trans Canada Highway paving expanding across Canada. By 1960 Canadians may drive coast to coast on a surfaced network, with provinces and Ottawa sharing costs and gaps to be sped up. Saskatchewan completes its 406 mile section and PEI nears full paving. Newfoundland has limited paving and relies on rail for some segments. National Parks hold 143 miles of the route under federal control.
