Not all news is bad these days! Re/max of Western Canada is continuing their annual ‘Quest for Excellence’ program which is now open for 2021. Re/max in the west is committed to helping future community leaders by offering $16,000 in bursary funds for this Quest program. In addition to the bursary, one lucky recipient will also receive a hot air balloon ride for 2.
The ‘Quest for Excellence Program’ recognizes the pursuits in leadership and community contributions of Western Canadian students. High school students graduating from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon and Northwest Territories are eligible to write an essay describing their contributions to the lives of others and their communities through leadership, motivation, volunteering plus participation in charitable events or fundraising.
Sixteen winners will be selected from entries received online at remax.ca. Each winner will receive a $1,000 Re/max Quest for Excellence bursary and will be placed in a draw for the hot air balloon ride for two from the closest major city. Application DEADLINE is MARCH 15, 2021. Winners will be notified in April 2021, with a formal presentation at the students’ commencement ceremonies.
“All of the students we recognize each year through Quest for Excellence have made positive impacts on their communities,” says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President for Re/max of Western Canada. “This is a program we are incredibly proud of, because it helps empower these young leaders on their journey”.
We encourage all our clients and local families with grade 12 students who are making a positive difference to others and to their communities to enter. These young people are our future effective citizens – let’s give them recognition and encouragement.

Facts – fun and not so much:-
Is it any wonder this pandemic caused a ‘Get out of Dodge’ movement, when the recent housing affordability report clearly labelled Vancouver as the least affordable city in Canada? Owners and renters spend on average 58% of their income on housing as opposed to 12% in Regina!
On a positive note, did you ever think that you could obtain a variable rate mortgage at 1.165%? In 1976, people were talking about the “good old days” when mortgage rates had been 6%!!
