Realtors CARE® Challenge and Award

CANADA – REALTORS Care® Week from November 15–21, 2021 is open to members of all 70 real estate boards and associations in every province across Canada. This national event supports housing and shelter-related charities. Take the Realtors CARE® Challenge: join in projects organized by your real estate board or create your own, then contact Sutton Spirit with your news. Your participation in the REALTORS Care® Week makes you a contender for the $5,000 Canadian REALTORS Care® Award.

Seven people have received the Canadian REALTORS Care® Award since it was established by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) in 2016.

Each year, the award recipient is revealed at CREA’s annual general meeting, and their inspirational story is shared across the country. To commemorate their charitable accomplishments, CREA donates $5,000 to the recipient’s favourite charity.

Every recipient of the Canadian REALTORS Care® Award has demonstrated a commitment to bettering the lives of their fellow community members, according to CREA. They made an impact by volunteering, advocacy, fundraising or philanthropy.

The transformative power of REALTORS Care® Week is felt from the boardroom to the streets of our cities and towns. Sales associates, Brokers and staff have helped to provide people in need with hot meals, blankets, warm clothing, and opportunities for brighter futures.

All of this began 27 years ago with a few REALTORS® in Vancouver. They were moved at the sight of homeless people huddled on the cold, wet pavement without adequate clothing or bedding. Those sales associates coordinated the collection of blankets and clothing and ended up assisting 3,000 people in Vancouver’s downtown core.
