Activa

A big thank you to our incredible summer students! This summer, Activa was fortunate to have seven talented individuals join our team, bringing their enthusiasm and skills to various departments. As part of their experience, each student received a passport that challenged them to complete a variety of tasks, including: 🛠️ Immersing in Role-Specific Tasks and Company Events: From the Activa Bus Tour to Joint Health and Safety Committee Meetings, our students actively engaged in essential company activities. 🌱 Contributing to the Green Team: Our students participated in important conversations about sustainability and Activa's environmental impact. 🎯 Setting and Achieving Goals: With the guidance of their mentors, our students set personal goals and worked hard to achieve them throughout the summer. We’re so proud of our summer students and can’t wait to see where their bright futures take them next.

Activa is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the University of Waterloo! Together, we're committed to creating unforgettable experiences and fostering athletic development for youth in our community.   As the Title Sponsor of the University of Waterloo President's Golf Tournament and Presenting Sponsor of key events like Warriors Family Day, Multi-Sport and Games Camp, and the Team-Up Community Outreach Program, we're proud to support the Warriors' mission.

Ever wonder what makes the Activa homebuilding journey unique to our homeowners? Let’s ask the Liningtons! As a family, their journey wasn’t just about finding a house, it was about finding a builder they could trust. "In dealing with the Activa team, we have been nothing short of amazed at how well they respond and how professional they are - and most of all how they fix the issues. We've now been here six months and are very delighted with the home that we bought and the support we've had from Activa and their team."

Meet Rhys and Gillian. Looking for a home to truly make their own, they found their dream experience at Activa's Design Studio. "The design studio was a highlight of our experience. The team’s creativity and attention to detail were evident from the start. They took the time to understand our vision and offered fantastic suggestions that brought our dream home to life. The wide selection of materials and finishes made it easy to personalize every aspect of our home, ensuring it truly reflected our style."

"The Community That Groh Built" isn't just a documentary about a class project—it's a glimpse into the brilliance of the next generation! In collaboration with Activa, Groh Public School's Grade 7 students embarked on re-designing the “Harvest Park” community in Kitchener. Split into small groups, they took on roles as city planners and developers to create a community plan considering demographics, affordability, sustainability, and placemaking. Speakers from across the Waterloo Region inspired these young minds to create something bigger than they imagined. Watch their vision come to life in the full documentary! https://lnkd.in/eN8xK8cE
