Cheers! To the National Sustainable Building Program Fund Contributors RBC Foundation, Genworth Financial Canada, MCAP Group of Companies and PMI Canada for their grant of $10,000 to Prince Edward-Hastings Habitat for Humanity. The grant is being provided to our affiliate so that 100% of it can be used to help the affiliate build to Energy Star, the “Best in Class” energy efficiency standard in house construction. The current Belleville build is built to Energy Star standards.
Cheers! To Home Depot Canada for a non-building grant of $3,840 to be applied against the purchase of record-keeping computer software for the Affiliate.
Cheers! To Realtors Care Foundation for a grant of $1,000 to be applied to the 2009 Habitat for Humanity home build.
Cheers! To the students, staff and parents of St. Theresa Secondary School, Belleville, who have raised $30,000 to date towards the 2008 Habitat home build in Belleville this Spring and Summer. St Theresa is leading the build project, the second highschool in the Quinte region to do so since 2003 and perhaps the only highschools to lead Habitat builds in Canada.
Cheers! To Advantage Stewart Travel, Bayview Mall Belleville, who donated air travel for Executive Director Melanie Flynn who joined over 45 others from across Canada in Habitat for Humanity Canada’s “dream team” for the 25th annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project May 11-16 in New Orleans. “We are so impressed by the work our local Habitat for Humanity is doing to help break the cycle of poverty in our community by providing decent, affordable housing,” said Lori Weir, Office Manager, Advantage Stewart Travel. “With New Orleans being such a popular travel destination it is our pleasure to do what we can in helping to rebuild the area by supporting Melanie with her travel arrangements,” she said.
Cheers! to the Quinte and District Real Estate Board agents who raised $7,150.83 for our next build through their annual summer golf tournament.
Cheers! to the Ontario Real Estate Association Foundation that provided $4,000 to the next home build.
Cheers! to the Trenval Business and Development Corporation (Eastern Ontario Development Program) for a $2,400 grant to help fund an Affiliate marketing initiative as part of a five-year growth plan.
