Lethbridge modular builder Triple M Housing brings Christmas to local kids
Each year, BILD Lethbridge member Triple M Housing turns its Holiday Party into a celebration of generosity, raising vital support for Lethbridge Family Service’s Angel Tree Christmas campaign.

Triple M Housing employees rally behind the cause by purchasing raffle tickets for special prizes – an effort the company proudly matches dollar for dollar. Last year alone, Triple M donated $7,500, helping to ensure all children and youth in the region get to experience the joy of Christmas. ATCO, Triple M’s parent company, also runs an annual giving campaign that matches 100 per cent of employee donations to about 800 Canadian and global charities – totalling almost $59 million since 2006.
Modular builder Royal Homes donates $150,000 for new CT scanner at local hospital
When the Wingham and District Hospital set out to bring a state-of-the-art CT scanner to the community, Royal Homes, a member of Waterloo Region HBA and of the CHBA Modular Construction Council, stepped forward in a major way. Contributing $150,000 to the hospital’s $3.6-million Caring Together campaign, Royal Homes helped ensure that residents would no longer need to be transferred to distant sites for urgent imaging. As a result of campaign, patients in the Wingham region can receive critical diagnostics close to home, reducing delays in care, supporting faster clinical decisions, easing stress on families and lowering system costs by minimizing ambulance transfers. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the campaign,” says Nicole Duquette-Jutzi, executive director of the Wingham and District Hospital Foundation. “Your support has been instrumental in bringing this vital technology to our hospital.”
