(CALGARY, AB) September 16, 2020 - This year marks a major milestone year for CF Chinook Centre as it proudly rings in its 60th anniversary. As one of the city’s most beloved shopping and entertainment destinations, CF Chinook Centre is known for its engaging in-property experiences and diverse retail offering. To commemorate this significant occasion, Cadillac Fairview is honouring its commitment to building vibrant communities by empowering each of its CF Chinook Centre employees to give back to the local community it proudly serves. Now more than ever, community support is vital and Cadillac Fairview is pleased to donate $200 on behalf of each CF Chinook Centre employee to contribute to a local charity. The property team at CF Chinook Centre is thrilled to donate $12,800 to support Seniors Secret Service, a Calgary-based charity dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals 60 years or older who are alone or isolated in the community.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate six decades of operation. This marks an incredible milestone for our business and is a true testament to the strength and tenacity of our employees and our retail partners,” said Cam Gresko, Vice President of Operations, Cadillac Fairview. “We recognize we would not have attained this achievement without the support of our local community. Community is at the heart of our business, and it will continue to be a driving force as we look to maintain our legacy in Calgary.”
