For the second day of our annual charity tradition, we held food drives site-wide across Ontario and Quebec, and we had an amazing response from all our residents and staff! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to organize their respective food drives, making sure the donations were safely stored and got to the families that need them most! And to all our residents, thank you for your donations – You all made a real difference in your communities!
In Ottawa, we also challenged ourselves to fill our CLV Group Fiat to the roof with our Ottawa properties’ food drive donations. During this year’s pickup, we thought we could probably fill the Fiat, but with the generosity of our residents and reminders from our staff, WE FILLED IT TWICE, making two trips to the Ottawa Food Bank. Staff at all locations were all smiles, and everyone was so happy to contribute. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, our total amount donated was 807 lbs!!
