Community Involvement

Community Involvement

Although our work is global, our focus is very much at home. We feel a responsibility to contribute to the improvement of the municipalities that we are actively growing.

Brookfield Resdiential supports non-profit activities and events by providing financial assistance, or in-kind contributions in North America. We have charitable donations committee within each of our Canadian offices. Every year, we designate a percentage of our corporate income for charitable giving, and each local committee, chaired and operated by Brookfield Residential employees, researches organizations and allocates funds within their own areas.

To make contributions more meaningful, Brookfield Residential also provides employee matching and volunteer programs to encourage our employees to contribute as individuals.

Wellspring Calgary

wellspring cancer centres How do you possibly thank someone for giving you a home?
How do you thank hundreds of people for coming together to build you a home with their own hands?

Wellspring Calgary had this once in a lifetime experience. On May 28, 2008, in celebration of their fiftieth year of business, 340 Brookfield Residential's (formerly Carma's) employees from across North America came together in an unprecedented generosity of spirit rolled up their sleeves, donned hard hats, hammers in hand, and with great hearts, built us a home!

Please be assured it is a day we will never forget.

We know that this gift of a 4,000 square foot home would not have been possible were it not for a very exceptional company; Brookfield Residential, and a very special leadership team who saw it in their hearts to make this happen. Today thanks to Brookfield Residential, hundreds of people living with cancer are welcomed into Carma House each and every day to take advantage of the myriad of free programs, resources and supports Wellspring Calgary has to offer.

We thank and salute this extraordinary company for a gift that will make a difference in the lives of those we love forever.
