- What does a “brighter future” look like for you?
- How have you demonstrated leadership or charity within your community to make it a better place?
- How can we ensure fair and affordable housing for all Canadians?
“COVID-19 has really highlighted the importance of home and community for many of us. We yearned for connection during lockdowns and isolation periods, and we leaned on our communities to carry us through the dark days,” says Elton Ash, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Canada. “As we come out on the other side of the pandemic, let’s refocus on how we can support the communities around us.”
