Our focus on building communities is carried out in many ways and everyone at Porte is encouraged to get involved. We fundraise each holiday season for the Food Bank, we set aside a budget to match employee charitable donations, and we run a charity from our office called Cassie + Friends that is dedicated to changing the lives of children who are living with Juvenile Arthritis. Plus, we give back to the community through each of our new developments by donating $100 per home that is built to the Breakfast Club of Canada to help ensure kids don’t go to school hungry.

And, of course, you’ll be an integral part of a family company building on over 54 years of success, and progressive leadership in the real estate industry.
