Red brick is pretty traditional and prevalent almost everywhere. Yellow (buff) brick of the sort that you see in SW Ontario is due to the high lime content of the local clays, I believe I read somewhere once.
Does anyone else remember the old brickworks that used to be down on Heiman St between Mill and Highland in Kitchener (where Charles Best Pl is now)? It operated into the 1960s, at least. I remember as a kid we'd sometimes go over there to "explore", but it was always slightly forbidden territory.
