QuadReal supports our communitiesBack in February 2017, we proudly announced that your building was going to be managedby newly formed QuadReal Property Group LP. From the very beginning, QuadReal recognized the importance of getting involved in their communities, so much so that community involvement became part of the QuadReal vision statement: “…making meaningful contributions to ourcommunities…now and for generations to come’’.

Our Calgary team embraced this theme and throughout 2017 we organized many eventsfocused on supporting our community. We invited you, our Tenants, to get involved in theseinitiatives and your generosity was amazing! Thank you for all your donations and support for these events! You helped to make a notable difference in our community.

Throughout 2017, we…

• Hosted over 20 building events and initiatives;

• Supported 7 local charitable and non-profi t organizations by organizing drives and/orallowing them to use our buildings to have sale campaigns in support of their cause(Veterans Food Bank, Children’s Cottage Society, Jacket Racket, Children’s Wish Foundation,Parkinson Alberta, Calgary Police Foundation, Riverview Artists);

• Planned 4 markets throughout the year where most of the participating vendors werelocal businesses;

• Gathered 2,450 pounds of food, 200 winter jackets and other clothing items valuedat $1,500 through several food and clothing drives;

• Raised over $16,000 through our bottle and can recycling program, in support ofChildren’s Wish Foundation;

• Collected over $3,500 through different events in support of Children’s CottageSociety, our current charity of choice;

• Participated in various charitable fundraising campaigns, contributing $10,000.

Also, QuadReal’s Calgary team held their United Way campaign through the month ofNovember, which featured a number of fun events and fundraising initiatives in which everyone could participate. The team’s fundraising efforts kicked into high gear in late November with asilent auction that we hosted at Western Canadian Place, to which we invited all our Tenants to participate. With incredible support from its service providers, the QuadReal team raised $14,337 for United Way Calgary during this four-hour event. Not only was a signifi cant amount of money raised and much fun had by all, but many happy tenants went home with great buys to assist with their early Christmas shopping!

We also proudly hosted several holiday events including:

• Stampede breakfast

• Children’s Halloween party

• Festive Musical performances

• Our country’s 150th anniversary.

Thank you for all your support, participation and generosity! 2018 will bring morecommunity focused initiatives along with other exciting events.

Vehicle Break and EntersChristmas is over but that doesn’t mean car prowlers have stopped ‘shopping’ for goods. Statistically, vehicle break-ins increase in the early months of the calendar year across the city. Below are a few hints to help protect yourselfbetter from car prowling:

• Park in well-lit areas,specifi cally at night.

• Lock your doors and keepall windows/sunroofs closed.

• Hide your valuables out ofsight, or better yet, take themwith you.

• Do not keep extra keys inyour vehicle.

• Garage openers shouldnever be left in parkedvehicles, or should at leastbe disengaged – thievescan use them to gain entryto a home.

• If you witness suspiciousactivity, contact buildingsecurity. You may be helpinganother person to preventbeing a victim of a carbreak-in or worse.

Waste Not / Want Not Jacket Racket campaign

During National Waste Reduction Week, October 9 – 20, we held a winter clothing drive for Jacket Racket at Livingston Place, Jamieson Place, BP Centre, and Intact Place. We scheduled the drive for two weeks this year instead of the usual one, due to the previous years’ successes.

Bins were located on the main floor of each building and tenants were encouraged to bring in their gently used winter jackets, snow pants, gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Altogether 200 jackets were collected from Livingston Place, BP Centre, Jamieson Place, and Intact Place.

Jacket Racket is a non-profit, Calgary organization that collects, sorts, cleans and distributes winter outerwear through Calgary schools and various other helping organizations.

A little recycling goes a long wayAll of the pop cans/bottles and milk cartons from all 4 downtown buildings are donated to the Children’s Wish Foundation of Alberta, a national non- profit organization dedicated to fulfilling a favorite wish for children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses. From October to December $3,500 was raised; and the total for 2017 was approximately $16,000! Please keep those cans and cartons coming in 2018…!

Tricks and treats at Children’s Halloween Party

Tenants at Jamieson Place, Livingston Place, BP Centre and Intact Place were invited to our annual Halloween Party that was held in the Winter Garden of Jamieson Place on Saturday, October 28 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon.

The event was successful with approximately 350 children and their parents attending. The festivities included a magic show, pumpkin decorating, arts and crafts, balloons, light refreshments and Halloween photos.

The Halloween Party always sells out quickly and is a favorite for the QuadReal staff who get to see so many cute kids dressed as their favourite character.
