Helping My Community
As an entrepreneur, I recognize that my success as a mortgage broker and a community partner is directly related to the health of the community that I work and live in. That’s why I am committed to a number of Ottawa Charities.
I think one of the greatest things I have witnessed in my profession is when a client learns of some of my charitable work, and then shares their very personal story of how they benefited from the work of that charity in the past. This enforces my belief that giving back to my community truly makes a difference, especially when that person is in front of me, applying for a mortgage. I get to see their lives go in a positive direction. What a wonderful feeling
Although there are a number of worthy causes in our Nation’s Capital, there are three charities that really speak to me.
Cornerstone Housing for Women
Cornerstone provides emergency shelter and supportive housing for a diversity of women. Their services are offered in an environment which promotes dignity and a sense of hope. They are committed to public education and advocacy, and strive to increase safe, affordable housing and to end homelessness.
To learn more about Cornerstone visit their website: www.cornerstonewomen.ca. Check out the video footage from Jacquie’s last fundraiser for Cornerstone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Canadian Red Cross
The Canadian Red Cross mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world. The Canadian Red Cross is the leading humanitarian organization through which people voluntarily demonstrate their caring for others in need.

The Christopher Leadership Course of Ottawa
The Christopher Leadership Course provides a welcoming and supportive environment where students build strong leadership skills and learn to overcome the fear of public speaking. The course is a powerful asset and confidence-builder for anyone, but it is tailored for people in transition, from school into the workforce, from another country into Canada, or from one career to another.

Each of the amazing charities above inspire me in so many different ways. I encourage everyone to find a community cause that inspires them. I believe I receive so much more back than I give. If you have any questions about the charities I suppose, please contact me.
