#CdnBuilt: Giving Back and Creating Communities
Members of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) have been building, developing and renovating homes from coast to coast for generations, and they know that strong communities are not just about bricks and mortar, but about the people living in them. That’s why our members are so passionate about giving back to Canadians. Whether it’s through fundraisers, community-based charity activities, or countless other good-will initiatives, CHBA members are doing their part to make their neighbourhoods thrive.
Our #CdnBuilt for Generations series began in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 and CHBA’s 75th anniversary in 2018. Through it, we celebrate the contributions that CHBA home builders, developers and renovators make within their communities every day.
