Community Involvement

The community of Lethbridge is the backbone of our business at Stranville Living. It is crucial that as a business and as individual members of this southern Albertan city that we be involved in our community. We aim to build relationships with people and businesses who work and live in our home town as a means to encourage growth and mutual support for everyone regardless of background, status, or age.

Below are some of our own endeavors as a company support our community as well as some ways we do our best to give back.

Who deserves better?

Community Appreciation Program

Our tag line, YOU DESERVE BETTER, references what we believe you should expect in a new home from Stranville Living Master Builder; better products used in the build process and a quality of workmanship that is better than most. We truly believe that today’s home buyer DESERVES BETTER.

While we understand that not everyone can live in a new home, we do believe that everyone DESERVES a certain quality of life and to live in a comfortable, safe place. However, the unfortunate reality is that many people are challenged daily by this fundamental need and struggle to find a way to simply live a BETTER life.

These challenges are not the same for everyone. Some may find themselves challenged to get around in a living space that isn’t as functional as it once was for someone who’s getting older. Maybe the windows or doors don’t protect the inside living space from the outside elements like they once did. Perhaps access to the home is compromised by a set of steps or a ramp that poses a risk for injury each time they’re used.

Whatever that challenge is, we want to help. We know we can’t help everyone, but our team at Stranville Living Master Builder and our partners are launching this program today that will give us an opportunity to help someone in need. The WHO DESERVES BETTER? program intends to use our industry resources to assess, design, and execute a solution to someone’s home-based challenge or obstacle.

We were thrilled to receive dozens of nominations of deserving families in the Lethbridge area. We asked for nominations from the public, local charities, and non-profit organizations in and around Lethbridge telling us about someone they know and care about who needs the expertise of a group of motivated industry professional to help them LIVE BETTER.

After an extensive nomination period and selection process, the Blake family, comprising parents and their two young children, were chosen for this extraordinary transformation. The family’s story is one of courage and resilience, with a unique set of challenges that called for a remarkable solution.

KidSport Lethbridge and Taber

2022 Business and Sport Excellence Recipient

Supporting youths in sports is one of our favourite ways to give back to the community. Many of our staff coach local sports including soccer and hockey.

In the year 2022, the Stranville Living Master Builder achieved a significant milestone by making the biggest contribution ever recorded in the history of KidSport Lethbridge and Taber. This was accomplished through the construction of the KidSport house and by obtaining donations from 29 subcontractors. The total sum of the donation amounted to $70,030, which is expected to benefit a minimum of 281 children in Lethbridge by providing them access to sports facilities.
