Garry
Bhaura, vice chair of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and broker of
record at RE/Max President Realty, celebrated his 50th birthday through
environmental stewardship with the planting of 50 trees at the Claireville
Conservation Area in Brampton.
The
September 6 event, organized in collaboration with the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the City of Brampton, aimed to combat climate
change and promote a greener future.
The trees
planted will enhance local biodiversity, provide essential green space and help
mitigate the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon and improving air
quality.
Significant
for both the community and the real estate industry
The
initiative was significant for both the community and the real estate industry.
It attracted Bhaura’s friends, family, colleagues and community members — all
committed to supporting environmental sustainability.
Attendees
included Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, City Councillors Rod Power and Rowena
Santos, Regional Councillor Gurpratap Toor, Member of Provincial Parliament
Hardeep Grewal, Don Kottick, president of Sotheby’s International Canada, Larry
Cirqua, CREA past chair, Winson Chan, Tridel VP of sales and CREA director,
along with members of the Re/Max President Realty team.
Reflecting
on the event, Bhaura states, “Planting a tree is planting hope for a greener,
more sustainable future. Each tree represents our commitment to nurturing the
planet. Together, we are shaping a healthier environment for generations to
come.
I’m deeply
thankful to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the City of Brampton
and everyone who joined us in this meaningful endeavour.”
