The Quest for Excellence Program recognizes the pursuits in leadership and community contributions of Western Canadian students. High school students graduating in 2012 from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, North West and Yukon Territories are encouraged to write an essay to convey the contributions they have made to enrich the lives of others and their communities, through leadership, motivation, volunteering and participation in charitable events or fundraising.

“We are amazed at charitable contributions these young adults are making within their communities,” says Marie Sheppy, Senior Coordinator, Corporate Affairs, RE/MAX of Western Canada. “These outstanding students recognize that building a great community and future starts with caring and supporting local programs and organizations that make a profound difference in everyday lives.”

“It is an honour and a privilege to recognize our outstanding young adults in Western Canada for their achievements and contributions,” says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western Canada.
