The Renfrew County Real Estate Board is appealing to REALTORS® across the country to join them in sending a little reminder of home to Canadian troops in Afghanistan this holiday season. The Board hopes to send a $5 Tim Hortons gift certificate to each person serving in Afghanistan on behalf of Canadian REALTORS®.
“Base Petawawa is within our Board’s jurisdiction and we have witnessed the grief of the family members of those killed in action,” says Pat Cleator, president of the Renfrew County Real Estate Board. “We would like to show the troops that we do appreciate their sacrifices. And what could be more Canadian than a Tim Hortons coffee and donut?”
Ontario Real Estate Association President Tim Lee says he hopes people will get involved in the effort, “regardless of their political thoughts. This is about supporting people, not policies.”
The Board needs to raise $15,000 to provide this gift. A notice will be included informing the troops who the donation is from.
