International Woman's Day March 8th
This day, whether you are male or female, is a good excuse to call your mother, sister, daughter, friend, or any woman whom you appreciate and/or love and tell them…just that. Give them some true appreciation. Tell them those things you love about them that you never say, those things that we assume the other person knows.
According to the UN, International Women’s Day is “a day when women are recognised for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women.”
Here are some great quotes by women, about women:
“Girls should never be afraid to be smart.” – Emma Watson
“In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.” – Sheryl Sandberg
“There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.” – Michelle Obama

Realtor.ca 2020 Statistics
While sales activity broke records in 2020, it was also a year that emphasized the importance of having a safe space to call home, as Canadians were asked to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
REALTOR.ca continues to be the go-to trusted real estate platform for Canadians. It has maintained its spot as market leader with 73 million visitors last year—up 45% from 2019!
Let’s take a closer look at how REALTOR.ca continues to help connect consumers to REALTORS®:
- REALTOR.ca sent 4 million leads to REALTORS® in 2020, up 38% from 2019.
-Visitors looked at REALTOR® profiles 11 million times in 2020, an increase of nearly 24% from 2019.
-REALTOR.ca visitors looked at property pages 1.7 billion times (up 73% from last year). That’s an average of 196,000 property views per hour!

Miracle Home Agents
The PEDLAR Team wants to send a huge thank you to our clients that make it possible for us to be Miracle Home Agents and donate a portion of every sale to the Children's Miracle Network! We made our largest donation in 2020 and Doug has been in the program for over thirty years!
Can you believe that in a pandemic, our RE/MAX Miracle Home Agents had a record year? Drum roll please … $208,089 raised for kids with serious health issues at Children’s Hospital in London by Re/MAX Miracle Home Agents. These funds will go to supporting urgent and emergent needs at the hospital as life with COVID-19 continues. But to break it down, here are some of the items your support can make a reality:- A Progressa Sports Bed for the PCCU ($45,000) to protect immobile patients from complications such as lung issues
- A Giraffe Omnibed for the NICU ($63,000) to create a microenvironment for fragile babies to thrive
- Fun and laughter with Ollie the Therapeutic Clown ($75,000), helping to ease stress and anxiety related to the hospital and the pandemic
Sick children continue to fight cancer, heart disease and other serious health issues. COVID-19 has complicated their care. Even in uncertain times, our children remain our greatest hope for the future.
