A message from our presenting sponsor Re/Max Realtor Fatima Bregman:
I live here, work here, and raise my son here and I am committed to the community and its many volunteer and community resources (like SRCPC) because that’s one of the many things that makes the neighbourhood so special. I am proud to support the SRCPC and the work they do in building strong families and enhancing the parent/child bonds in the community. They are an invaluable resource and one so deserving of everyone’s support.
I believe thriving and healthy families is what makes a desirable and beautiful community. It is for my family and for the clients for whom I work with in leveraging their most important asset or finding a new home in the neighbourhood.
My goal as a real estate professional is the same as your goal as a citizen of Riverdale – to serve with integrity, to provide solutions that help make lives better and to continue to build on the strengths we already have in Riverdale.
