The real estate Associations of the four western provinces have donated $20,000 from surplus funds from the Banff Western Connection conference.
REALTORS® from across Canada have been meeting at the Banff Springs Hotel for 12 years and know that many of the hotel staff live in Canmore and were directly affected by the spring flooding.
“We reflected upon the strong ties that have been forged between our members and the staff who make their homes in Canmore, a community that was particularly hard-hit by the flood and we agreed to contribute $20,000 on behalf of the Banff Western Connection to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Floods Relief Fund through CREA’s Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation,” said Alberta Real Estate Association CEO Dan Russell.
This summer, the Foundation raised over $200,000 for this cause.
