As participants in the Monkland Merchant Association Annual Street Festival, Royal LePage Ville-Marie in Montreal hosted a sidewalk corn roast recently in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. The corn was sponsored by Desjardins. Great weather and enthusiastic crowds helped them raise $1,292 for Auberge Transition House. Royal LePage Ville-Marie is working to reach a $7,000 fundraising goal for the local women’s shelter by year end.
