We asked, and you delivered! With your help, Osgoode Properties was able to send 8 essential service workers (and their nominators) to the CHEO For the Kids Ga...la. Given these hard times, it was important to us to recognize the people who are on the frontlines helping us get through the pandemic. We invite you to read through the inspiring stories of our #HomegrownHeroes in our latest blog.

Oh The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss is one of Olympic medal winner Phylicia George's favourite books. It’s a reminder that life is full of possibilities, that... setbacks are a normal part of the process and that no matter what, if you keep moving forward you’ll always be alright."
