Alberta Realtors have come together through the Facebook group Realtors Support Fort McMurray to connect Fort McMurray residents who were displaced by the wildfires with available housing options.
Realtors and their networks put forward accommodation options that were available to house evacuated residents. Evacuees posted their circumstances to seek assistance and get connected with those who have available accommodations.
“Alberta Realtors are actively involved in their communities throughout the year, but we come together even more swiftly in times of need,” says Ian Burns, CEO of the Alberta Real Estate Association. “Realtors know the importance of home and their work lends itself to a unique awareness of opportunities that may be available in a difficult time for our friends in Fort McMurray.”
