Mattamy Rides the Greenway to Fight Cancer

In August 2023, team members from Mattamy’s Calgary office got on their bikes and took to the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway for the first-ever “Mattamy on the Greenway: Ride for a Cause” event. The cause, in this case, was the Canadian Cancer Society, a charitable organization chosen by the division, in support of loved ones who had battled against cancer, and in support of one of their team members, Health and Safety Specialist (Alberta division), Pedro Guerra-Zuniga, who had recently overcome a cancer diagnosis.

Inspired by Pedro’s personal story, the Alberta division surpassed their fundraising goal, raising more than $30,000. The bike ride commenced at Shouldice Park and finished several hours and 40 kilometres later at Yorkville’s Central Park.

Given the event’s success, the Alberta division plans to make “Mattamy on the Greenway: Ride for a Cause” an annual event, with a different charity to support each year.

The Rotary/Mattamy Greenway, developed with the help of a $5 million contribution from Mattamy, consists of 145 kilometres of urban pathways, providing a connected system throughout 55 communities around Calgary.
