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.

Since 2017, Trico has sponsored the Youth Scholarship Award, which recognizes the achievements and contributions made by youth immigrants in Calgary. Our founder Wayne Chiu was also proud to be the Keynote Speaker this year.

Accessible Housing is incredibly thankful for the dedication and support from Trico Homes in making our new home, Inclusio, possible. Trico Homes generously stepped in and supported our project as part of the RESOLVE Campaign. Inclusio is a 45-unit accessible and affordable home for adults with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis or a spinal cord injury. In September 2016, Accessible Housing hosted a Groundbreaking celebration to kick-off the construction of Inclusio to recognize the tremendous efforts and generosity of all of the supporters involved in the new home. Thank you, Trico Homes for supporting this project and our work!
