MAKING A DIFFERENCE WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK

Giving back to the community is important to the WE HBA. Our members donate their time and resources to help families and organizations in the Hamilton-Halton area.

WE HBA has and will continue to have a growing Community presence. We have made major steps towards supporting our community and we are constantly looking to increase our presence and contribution to the local community.

YWCA DONATION

The West End Home Builders’ Association has and will continue to have a growing Community presence. In 2022, we made major steps towards supporting the YWCA in Hamilton and donated $10,000 to help support the build fund of the Putman Family YWCA, Hamilton’s first affordable permanent housing residence for single and mother-led families.

MOHAWK COLLEGE BURSARY AWARD

Each year, the WE HBA awards a bursary to a deserving Mohawk College student. The funds are aimed at assisting the most deserving graduates of the construction and renovation technician programs to launch their own construction or renovation company. We have partnered with Mohawk College Foundation to create a $50,000 endowment fund to assist students enrolled in skilled trades programs at the College.

HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE

During the Holiday Season, the WE HBA hosts its annual Toy Drive and Social, where those in attendance bring a new, unwrapped toy for needy children in our community.

The new toys are donated to City Kidz, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children living in the inner city.

ANNUAL SUMMER BBQ

Our Annual Summer BBQ is a fun social event for our members with the purpose of raising funds for the Mohawk College Bursary Program. Our recent BBQ was well attended with over 100 members helping to raise $2,500.

The money raised has gone toward assisting the most deserving graduates of the construction and renovation technician programs at Mohawk College in order to help students launch their own construction or renovation company.

ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

The WE HBA Annual Golf Tournament is a popular event that raises funds for the Presidential Charity of Choice.

Members have helped raise funds for multiple charity organizations like Good Shepherd, Mohawk College and others. More than 200 members attend our Golf Tournament that successfully takes place every year.

Our UForty group continues to support its bursary program with the Building Construction/Renovator program at Mohawk College

“WHAT HOME LOOKS LIKE TO ME” CHILDRENS’ ART CONTEST

In 2015, the WE HBA ran its first art contest for Grade 5 children at a local school in Burlington to have them think about the concepts of house and home.  One resounding theme rang true:  it often doesn’t matter where you live, it is who you are with and how you feel when you are there.  The successful artists’ works hang in the lobby of WE HBA offices, and all participants are treated to lunch with the judges.
