Corporate Social Responsibility

Cadillac Fairview & Corporate Social Responsibility
As one of the largest investors, owners, and managers of commercial real estate in downtown Vancouver, Cadillac Fairview is frequently called upon for sponsorship and donations. To ensure that our giving is targeted to issues that affect the community where we do business, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy and committee have been developed. The CSR strategy focusses giving on homelessness, mental health, and community safety.

Partner Organizations
We have partnered with following organizations that provide resources and assist to make life more manageable for thousands of people living on the streets and/or with a mental illness.

The Kettle Friendship Society: The Kettle Friendship Society’s mandate is to provide an open door drop-in centre. They provide a complimentary service to the mental health teams and other organizations in the city.

Lookout Emergency Aid Society: Lookout Emergency Aid Society offers a range of services and housing 24/7 to men and women who are destitute and require assistance. The Lookout is the safety net for those who have few housing options or are homeless.

Coast Mental Health: Coast Mental Health promotes recovery of persons with mental illness. Coast improves the lives of people with mental illness by providing housing, jobs, social/recreational opportunities, food, clothing, and life-skills training.

While most of our local giving is linked to the involvement of our partners, Cadillac Fairview finds additional ways to help strengthen community life.

A BIG THANK YOU!
$45,000 RAISED THIS YEAR

As one of the largest investors, owners and managers of commercial real estate in downtown Vancouver, Cadillac Fairview recognized that, with our resources and relationships, we could play an important role in helping to address homelessness and mental illness. These important issues are often overlooked by many fundraising efforts.

As such, we have partnered with three organizations that assist in making life more manageable for thousands of people living on the streets or living with mental illness. These organizations provide valuable resources for those in need in our community:
• Coast Mental Health
• The Kettle Mental Health Services & Housing
• Lookout Emergency Aid Society

In order to raise funds and awareness for these organizations Cadillac Fairview hosted the ‘Big Brolly Brunch’ at at the Four Seasons Hotel. We are very proud to share that $45,000 was raised this year for our partner organizations!

This event was made possible through the generous contributions of our sponsors, supporters and volunteers; we are grateful for each and every
contribution. Thank you!
