Wesbild is excited and honoured to be nominated by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce for their 2018 Business Excellence Awards in the category of Community Spirit.

Wesbild takes our responsibilities as a corporate citizen very seriously and we have since we began in 1981. We believe being a good corporate citizen means giving back, which is why Wesbild continues to give back to the wider community.

We are proud of our work in the Tri-Cities community including our ongoing relationship with Share Family and Community Services, the Wesbild LIFT Scholarship program supporting SD43 students to take post-secondary education and many other local initiatives. Our goal is to truly find a way to help individuals have better lives.

Thank you again for the nomination. Looking forward to seeing all of the nominees at the Nominees’ Lunch on November 6!

Smiling Creek Elementary Opens on Burke Mountain

/in /by

Last night, Wesbild joined our neighbours on Burke Mountain at the official Grand Opening of Smiling Creek Elementary School in Coquitlam.

The first new school in the community, Smiling Creek Elementary is a seven-acre joint school-park site in partnership with the City of Coquitlam.

Wesbild has been instrumental in bringing schools to Burke Mountain, donating $5 million to fund a synthetic field at the future Middle School and High School site, as well as 6 acres of land to the School District for the future Elementary School site (Marigold) on the far east side of future development.

Wesbild remains committed to working with the School District, City and Province to ensure that new schools remain a top priority for the Burke Mountain area.
