Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem. One third of what we eat relies on pollination by bees. That is why Morguard is taking action and including them in our sustainability efforts. We have partnered with Alvéole, urban beekeeping specialists, and incorporated beehives, naturalized gardens, and bee-hotels at our various properties across Canada, so we can have a positive impact on the bee community.

To the frontline healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters and other essential workers who keep us safe and provide us with essential goods and services, thank you! We recognize the commitment, dedication, and resiliency they demonstrate in the face of this current environment of uncertainty. We also extend our thanks to Morguard’s essential workers including property and operations teams, maintenance employees, as well as those working from home. Their hard work and dedication in continuing to serve our communities is helping our residents, tenants, and stakeholders to be safe at home and at work.
