AREA Donations and Initiatives

Posted on February 02, 2023 by AREA Staff in News

Project Thrive Donation

In its 75th year, AREA was proud to contribute $150,000 to Project Thrive - a joint Inn from the Cold and HomeSpace project that retrofitted a downtown officer tower into an inviting building that houses a family emergency shelter, transitional housing, 82 affordable housing units, and community supports, such as a childcare centre.

AREA Ukrainian Support Initiative

As Alberta is home to one of the world's largest Ukrainian populations, AREA's Board of Directors felt strongly that there was a direct role Alberta REALTORS® could play in supporting refugees of the Russian invasion. AREA allocated $150,000 in funding to support housing, transportation, language training and basic aids to daily living for refugees and their host families.

Our membership work and live in Alberta, which we acknowledge as the traditional and ancestral lands of many peoples presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8 – namely the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta. We recognize the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today, and those who have gone before. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those on whose territory we reside.
