Charities & programs

Kirby is an active volunteer, fundraiser and a generous contributor for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.  As a company, Royal LePage’s philosophy has always been to take an active role in the communities we serve.  We accomplish this in many different ways including assisting in neighbourhood initiatives and supporting local programs and charities.

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation operates from a local and national perspective, meaning that those funds generated in Calgary will go to help abused women and children in Calgary.  Here in Calgary, Royal LePage Foothills - in partnership with Discovery House, has made a commitment to aid in the development of Shelters for abused women and children – and specifically – has signed a deal to help raise $1 million over the next five years to build a much needed new shelter in Calgary.

Kirby is also a fundraiser for the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank.  Every year in the fall, Kirby hosts "The Great Pumpkin Giveaway" in which over 1000 pumpkins are purchased and given free to the public in return for a donation to the Calgary Food Bank.

The Calgary Food Bank acts as a crisis facility to feed Calgarians in times of financial trouble.  Individuals and families receive hampers containing enough food for approximately one week to a maximum of six per year. The food bank operates with food and cash donated by the community.

As well as contributing to the aforementioned charities, Kirby also contributes to local community associations, schools and junior hockey. Contributions are made in the form of cash & prizes to help raise funds for the various groups and provide exciting prizes for a variety of events held throughout the year.
