REALTORS Care® Days 2024 Report
2024 saw 18 impactful REALTORS Care® Days take place from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. Boards and associations rallied their members to volunteer their time in support of housing and shelter-related charities and community groups working to help those who are underhoused, experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. Each REALTORS Care® Day profiled in our 2024 report is symbolic of the shared belief across the REALTOR® community that everyone deserves a safe place to call home, as well as the work our members do to give back to their communities day-in, day-out.
A Message from James Mabey, 2024-2025 Chair, Canadian Real Estate Association
“As we turn the page on the first year of REALTORS Care® Days, I’m proud of the REALTOR® impact this program has highlighted. I’m even prouder knowing REALTORS Care® Days are just the tip of the iceberg. In countless neighbourhoods across our country, REALTORS® are, often quietly, putting in time and effort to help make their community a better place for all. The impact captured through REALTORS Care® Days is symbolic of this and represents the shared values across our profession of giving back and community leadership.”
