A Cochranite is building homes on the Wesley First Nation and has been quietly collecting furniture donations to fill the houses upon their completion.

While working on those homes, Tilma noted some of them were lacking furniture and other amenities— The observation sparked an idea to collect furniture and donate it to the residents.

Seven years later, Tilma is now working with the Wesley First Nation building new homes, and he is still collecting furniture donations for the homes he builds.

It was a change in life circumstances that sent Raelee Dielwart off to find a new roof over her head. And with precise ideas of what and where she wanted said roof, it didn’t take long to find.

With two young children, she wanted three bedrooms and a play area plus a modern floor plan and little to no maintenance… it had to be move-in ready and located on the west side of Calgary close to her parents in Springbank, where she was raised.

[Trico] has turned functionality of an action-area of their web site—the “find your home” button—to a Canadian-based technology upstart Openhouse.AI that brings an array of personalization filters into play for new-home shoppers.

Working on the “back-end” of the Trico Homes website, for instance, is an AI-powered marketing platform designed for a user experience that works like a cross between Match.com and Netflix.
