Supporting Students Across Canada

The 2025 Quest for Excellence program will invite eligible students to write and submit an essay based on one of three key themes: charitable community contribution; the vision for a brighter future; and ensuring Canadians have a safe, secure and affordable place to call “home.”
“At RE/MAX Canada, we understand the importance of supporting the communities where we live and work,” says Christopher Alexander, President, RE/MAX Canada. “Through initiatives like the Quest for Excellence, we aim to not just help students achieve their educational goals, but to also inspire a culture of giving back. These programs serve as a beacon, illuminating future leaders within our communities.”
