This recognition is an exciting milestone for our team and reflects the care, hard work, and commitment that goes into everything we do. Platinum Club status is awarded to companies that have held their Best Managed designation for seven years or more, recognizing organizations that continue to show strong leadership, long-term growth, and a commitment to doing business the right way.

Over the past year, Deveraux has continued to grow as a leading developer, owner, and manager of high-quality apartment communities across Western Canada. As we expand, we remain focused on listening to our residents, understanding the needs of the communities we serve, and using feedback and market insights to help guide our decisions.

Innovation continues to be a big part of who we are. Through our “Invitation to Innovate” approach, team members are encouraged to share ideas, think creatively, and look for ways to make things better, whether that means improving day-to-day processes, exploring new technology, or enhancing the resident experience.

We also continue to invest in our people. Over the past year, Deveraux has strengthened its leadership team by welcoming experienced industry professionals and promoting talented team members from within. These changes support our continued growth while helping us build a strong, inclusive, and collaborative workplace.

Maintaining Platinum Club Member status is a meaningful achievement for Deveraux and a reflection of the people who make our company what it is. It reinforces the trust we’ve built with our residents, employees, investors, vendors, and partners, and celebrates the shared effort behind our continued success.

As we look ahead, Deveraux remains focused on building and managing exceptional apartment communities, creating great resident experiences, and continuing to grow with purpose.

The demand for EV charging continues to grow as more Canadians make the switch to electric vehicles, and we believe residential communities should evolve alongside that shift. By expanding access to convenient, reliable charging at home, we’re helping remove barriers to EV adoption while enhancing everyday living for our residents. These upgrades also align with our broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) priorities, reducing emissions, supporting sustainable lifestyles, and future-proofing our communities.

And this is just the beginning. In 2026, we will expand our EV infrastructure further with the addition of 80 new charging stations across our Regina properties. Looking ahead, EV charging will continue to be prioritized as a standard amenity in all new Deveraux developments currently under construction and in the design phase. We’re also leading by example by adding our first electric vehicle to the Deveraux fleet, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable operations from the ground up.

These investments reflect our long-term vision: building communities that are not only comfortable and connected, but also environmentally responsible. As we continue to grow our EV infrastructure, we’re proud to play a role in supporting cleaner transportation, reducing environmental impact, and contributing to a more sustainable future for the communities we serve.

This year’s campaign ran from December 8–19, 2025, with donation bins available in our apartment communities and offices throughout Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg. Every item contributed helped strengthen local food bank shelves during a season when demand is often at its highest.

A Meaningful Impact in Our Communities

The 2,272 pounds collected through this initiative is equivalent to approximately 1,900 meals, support that will make a real difference for individuals and families facing food insecurity.

While the total amount is impressive, what matters most is what it represents: a shared commitment to caring for neighbours and supporting the communities we call home.

Thank You to Our Residents, Team Members, and Partners

The success of the 12 Days of Giving is made possible by people who choose to contribute. We are grateful to every resident who dropped off items, every team member who helped organize and promote the campaign, and every trade partner who participated in the spirit of giving.

Your support reflects the best of community living and the values we strive to uphold across all Deveraux communities.

Continuing Our Commitment to Community Support

At Deveraux, we believe that strong communities are built through connection, compassion, and collective action. The 12 Days of Giving is one of the many ways we work to support local initiatives and organizations doing essential work year-round.

To everyone who participated in this year’s campaign: thank you for helping make the 2025 12 Days of Giving a success.

Moving to a new home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming if you're not prepared. Whether you're moving across town or just across the hall, here are 10 smart moving tips to help you navigate the process with ease, courtesy of our Deveraux Resident Rewards partner, Total Moving Winnipeg.

1. Start Decluttering Early

The earlier you begin sorting through your belongings, the better. Weeks (or even months) before moving day, start going through closets, drawers, and storage spaces. Donate or sell items you no longer need, and toss anything that's broken or expired. The fewer items you bring with you, the faster and more affordable your move will be.

2. Create a Moving Checklist and Timeline

Avoid last-minute chaos by breaking your move into smaller, manageable tasks. Create a checklist that includes everything from hiring movers and gathering supplies to changing your address and updating insurance. Assign deadlines to each task to track your progress and stay on schedule.

3. Confirm All Arrangements

A few days before the move, double-check all your bookings. Call your moving company to reconfirm details, remind any friends or family lending a hand, and ensure utility disconnections and connections are scheduled. A quick call now can prevent big problems later.

4. Pack One Room at a Time

Tackling your entire home at once can be overwhelming. Instead, focus on packing one room completely before moving on to the next. Not only does this help you stay organized, but it also makes unpacking simpler when you arrive at your new place.

5. Pack an “Essentials” Box

Pack a clearly labeled box with items you'll need right away in your new home. Include toiletries, a change of clothes, medications, chargers, snacks, important documents, and anything your pet may need. Keep this box easily accessible for a smoother first night.

6. Label Boxes Clearly and Specifically

Don’t just write "Bathroom" or "Kitchen" on your boxes. Be specific—like “Kitchen – Pots & Pans” or “Bedroom 2 – Bedding.” Also, note which room each box should go in at your new home. This makes unloading and unpacking much faster.

7. Take Photos of Electronics Setups

Before unplugging your TV, computer, or entertainment system, take photos of the cord setups. These reference images will be a lifesaver when it’s time to reassemble everything in your new space.

8. Protect Valuables and Important Documents

Keep passports, birth certificates, legal documents, jewelry, and valuables with you during the move. Do not pack these items on the moving truck—ensure they’re secure and easily accessible.

9. Arrange for Utilities Ahead of Time

Coordinate with your utility providers to ensure services like electricity, gas, water, internet, and cable are disconnected at your old address and activated at your new one. Schedule these changes in advance to avoid moving in without essential services.

10. Plan for Your First Night

After a long moving day, you’ll want to rest. Make sure your essentials box is handy, your bed is easy to assemble, and you have a plan for dinner – whether that’s takeout or a simple meal you’ve prepared in advance.

A successful move is all about preparation. By staying organized, decluttering early, and planning each step, you’ll be setting yourself up for a smoother transition into your new home. Happy moving!
