🎉 A legacy created by Alberta REALTORS®🎉 The Alberta Real Estate Foundation was established under the Real Estate Act in 1991, made possible because REALTORS® created a way to give back to the community and the profession through interest earned on trust deposits. In this clip, past Chair Janice Resch and Chair Melanie Hulsker reflect on the early days of the Foundation and the people who helped bring it to life. 35 years later, that vision has grown into $36 million invested and 800+ projects strengthening the industry and benefiting communities across Alberta. The Foundation is a story of foresight, generosity, and industry leadership.
