During my first year with Trico, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a Kids Cancer Care Shave Your Lid for a Kid event at Samuel W. Shaw. The school raised over $18,000 for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation. It was truly humbling to be among these brave young children who told their stories as well as the students and faculty who buzzed off their locks for this great cause!

When Mount Royal University’s Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Institute for Community Prosperity had the bold idea to open a co-working space on campus to encourage collaboration between student and community changemakers, there was one obvious partner for the endeavour – Trico. After an initial meeting with Wayne Chiu and Dan Overall from the Trico Foundation, we knew we had found passionate partners that would help us make a positive, sustainable impact on our community. Trico Homes has been impacting people and communities for 25 years and the Foundation has amplified that impact even further. We feel immensely grateful to have an organization in our community that embodies change making values and is so willing to invest time and resources into making a positive change on us all.
