Roger Burns did exactly what late MREA CEO Brian M. Collie would have wanted.
After Collie’s funeral and reception was held in Winnipeg in April, there were trays of deli sandwiches, veggies, pickles, cheese and dainties left over.
MREA Shelter Foundation chair Roger Burns and another volunteer loaded up two cars with the trays and dropped off all the food to help serve inner city families at Siloam Mission in Winnipeg.
With Collie’s leadership, REALTORS® in Manitoba have worked in partnership with the mission on a number of initiatives over the years, including the Siloam Mission REALTORS Care® Easter dinner which this year celebrated the 10th anniversary.
Collie was famous and loved for many reasons. One was making sure that there was always more than enough food to serve at every gathering. Another was giving to those in need – as generously as possible – and at every opportunity possible.
