The <a href="http://cumberlandminorhockey.ca/">Cumberland Dukes</a> are a minor hockey club in <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/communities/">Ottawa</a>. They are based in the east end of the city and offer house league hockey programs for all skill levels. They are affiliated with the Cumberland Jr. Grads which offers a competitive program for young hockey players. This hockey club is well known in the area for great coaching, fun games, and lots of ice time for young players looking to have fun and develop their skills. Several members of the Hamre Real Estate Team and their family members have played for the Cumberland Dukes or the Cumberland Minor Hockey League as it was formerly known.
Every year the Hamre Real Estate Team sponsors local teams in the area by providing practice jerseys. These jerseys allow teams to enjoy scrimmages and drills in practice while keeping the gameday threads clean and pristine. We are proud to support the community in this way.
The Importance Of The Cumberland Dukes
The Cumberland Dukes are the go-to house league club for Orleans and the east end. Players from <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/gloucester/orleans-homes-for-sale/">Orleans</a>, <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/cumberland/navan-homes-for-sale/">Navan</a>, <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/cumberland/">Cumberland</a>, and more all look to play for the <a href="http://cumberlandminorhockey.ca/">Cumberland Dukes</a>. This club features many teams and will even have multiple teams at the same skill level due to the popularity of the club in <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/communities/">Ottawa</a>. There are several house league levels for all ages of youth so every child will have an opportunity to play. Many parents and children alike know this club and have many fond memories of early morning at the rink with a coffee in hand watching some hockey. This club offers not only training in hockey skills but the development of life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. Sports are a fundamental part of the development for young athletes in <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/communities/">Ottawa</a>. Whether it be hockey, basketball, soccer, or any other athletic endeavour. The Hamre Real Estate team has previously sponsored jerseys for many sports and are always proud to see our "Inspiring Dreams" branding hit the ice. Whether it's the dream of one day playing in the NHL or just scoring a goal one cool Saturday morning in December, we are grateful for the opportunity to be a small part of this community in <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/communities/">Ottawa</a>.
We'll be cheering for you all season long. Go Dukes Go!

The 2023 RE/MAX Month of Miracles flew by in August – and all the while, RE/MAX affiliates were busy finding creative ways to give back to local children. This article was originally published on remax.com.
The <a href="https://news.remax.com/his-fragile-birth-has-led-to-a-wonderful-life-the-impact-of-childrens-miracle-network-hospitals">RE/MAX Month of Miracles</a> is an annual month-long event that celebrates the year-round partnership between RE/MAX and Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. Since 1992, RE/MAX associates have donated nearly $200 million to CMN Hospitals across the U.S. and Canada.
Check out how the RE/MAX network gave back during the latest Month of Miracles – and learn what some affiliates have planned in the remainder of the year.
Creative efforts during the Month of Miracles
To celebrate his 50th birthday, Léo Bruneau, an agent with RE/MAX All Points Realty in Coquitlam, British Columbia, ran his "50th Birthday Campaign,” where he drove coast to coast across Canada to raise money for CMN Hospitals. He ultimately raised over $130,000 throughout the summer, completing his journey mid-August.
<img data-v-324cbf7c="" src="https://images.prismic.io/remaxnews/ed9ffad1-97f4-4c09-9c73-df2f13ef6adc_Unknown.jpeg?auto=compress,format" class="article-image__image" />
For the second year in a row, RE/MAX Plus in Buffalo, New York, got involved with the “Sunflowers of Sanborn” weekend-long event, where they hosted tethered RE/MAX hot air balloon rides to benefit Oishei Children’s Hospital. The event was held at a picturesque local sunflower farm.
<img data-v-324cbf7c="" src="https://images.prismic.io/remaxnews/60ba77be-6156-402f-a0d9-28f4f3719ee9_367711251_10228225089987027_2504403223208686168_n.jpg?auto=compress,format" class="article-image__image" />
Following their successful golf outing in July (which raised $25,000 for CMN Hospitals!), all 11 offices of RE/MAX Suburban in Illinois participated in a Crayons for Kids drive, where they and their clients collected over 1,000 items, including crayon boxes, pencils, marker boxes and coloring books for children being treated at nearby Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
And, RE/MAX Concepts in Lincoln, Nebraska, hosted an event at their office for clients to celebrate back-to-school and raise awareness for the partnership between RE/MAX and CMN Hospitals. In addition to bringing in a Kona Ice truck, the office hired local chalk artist Tom Meyers to draw chalk art on the ground and help others create their own art, too. RE/MAX Concepts recently became a Miracle Office, and encourages its agents to get involved with the <a href="https://news.remax.com/what-is-the-remax-miracle-home-miracle-property-program">RE/MAX Miracle Home and Miracle Property Program</a>.
Throughout the year, RE/MAX affiliates have an easy way to support CMN Hospitals by participating in the RE/MAX Miracle Home and Miracle Property Program, where they can achieve Miracle Agent, Miracle Team, or Miracle Office status. When RE/MAX agents designate a listing as a “Miracle Home” or “Miracle Property,” it means they will make a donation – on behalf of their client – to CMN Hospitals when the transaction closes. Best of all, when an agent makes a donation to CMN Hospitals, the money stays local and benefits the CMN Hospitals affiliate in their area.
Switching gears, Courtney and Sterling Forrest of RE/MAX Premier Realty in Ocala, Florida, celebrated the recent Month of Miracles by hosting “Bowling for Miracles," a charitable bowling event that featured bowling, matching shirts, an art auction, and more.
<img data-v-324cbf7c="" src="https://images.prismic.io/remaxnews/832635a7-47ac-4cd1-acff-e9b7279aecf9_PXL_20230826_161650609.jpg?auto=compress,format" class="article-image__image" />
Gianni Viscuso, an agent with RE/MAX Right Choice in Milford, Connecticut, recently organized and led the inaugural Charity Golf Tournament. In addition to golf, the day featured contests, raffles and a luncheon – and ultimately raised over $22,000 for Connecticut Children’s Hospital.
<img data-v-324cbf7c="" src="https://images.prismic.io/remaxnews/4f690583-36be-4869-9e69-626b43421188_366945990_10103882944535277_7444410837316381530_n%5B1%5D.jpg?auto=compress,format" class="article-image__image" />
And, Traci Palmero, an agent with RE/MAX Best Choice in Festus, Missouri, runs “Traci’s Miracle Shop” where she sells RE/MAX Miracle Agent apparel. In August, she debuted Month of Miracles themed t-shirts and donated a portion of proceeds to CMN Hospitals. Also in the spirit of the Month of Miracles, Palmero hosted a client appreciation fundraiser where she sold luxury box tickets at the St. Louis Cardinals’ stadium and raised over $11,000 for CMN Hospitals.
Exciting initiatives throughout the year
Celebration of the partnership between RE/MAX and CMN Hospitals doesn’t end when August does. RE/MAX affiliates find unique ways to raise awareness and funds for CMN Hospitals all year round.
For example, Torrence Ford, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Premier in Atlanta, Georgia, is hosting the third annual <a href="https://news.remax.com/annual-concert-helps-remax-broker-owner-connect-with-community-and-support-a-charitable-cause">Concert Under the Stars event</a>, where the community gathers to hear the music of talented local musicians and proceeds support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
RE/MAX Gateway in Chantilly, Virginia, will be hosting their inaugural Great Gadsby-themed Casino Night in October. Their other cornerstone event to support CMN Hospitals is an annual golf tournament each May. In 2023, RE/MAX Gateway’s golf tournament raised their highest amount of money to date, allowing them to donate more than $38,000 to CMN Hospitals. But donating to CMN Hospitals isn’t new to this charitable RE/MAX office – in 2022, through their agents participating in the RE/MAX Miracle Home and Miracle Property Program, RE/MAX Gateway raised over $100,000.
Plus, RE/MAX has another designated event for giving back coming up soon. <a href="https://news.remax.com/10-ways-remax-affiliates-can-get-involved-during-global-remax-week">Global RE/MAX Week</a> – happening October 1-7 – is an opportunity for RE/MAX affiliates around the globe to give back to the communities in which they live and work.

They cover a wide scope and help children's hospitals across North America. The Hamre Real Estate Team is proud to be a major supporter of the Children's Miracle Network. Funds raised for Children's Miracle Network stay in the city or district in which they were collected. In Ottawa, that means supporting CHEO.
We all know someone who has had to visit CHEO. Whether it be yourself, your child, the child of a friend, or a loved one. This hospital is somewhere nobody wants to visit but we are incredibly lucky to have this in our own city. CHEO has numerous initiatives and research programs that require extra funding to better serve our youth. Raising money for CHEO helps make these important initiatives possible. CHEO stands for Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. This hospital is not only helping people from Ottawa and the immediate area but much of Eastern Ontario, as far west as Thunder Bay, children are brought to CHEO for help. Children are our future and we are passionate about helping them and our community.
<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2140/image/Childrens_Miracle_Network.jpg" width="1200" height="628" />
Over the years The Hamre Real Estate Team and RE/MAX Affiliates Realty have been leaders in the Ottawa area for the Children's Miracle Network. We are honoured to have supported various fundraising initiatives that passed through town as well as our own fundraising efforts. These initiatives raise funds and awareness that impact the community in a very real and tangible way. This article will tell you the story of our experiences supporting the Children's Miracle Network and the impact we have seen it make on the community.
RE/MAX and The Children's Miracle Network
RE/MAX has worked with the Children's Miracle Network for years. It is the cause at the forefront of the company's philanthropic efforts.
Here are some of the ways RE/MAX as a whole contributes to the Children's Miracle Network:
1. Miracle Home Program: RE/MAX agents participate in the Miracle Home Program by making a donation to the CMN after each closed real estate transaction. This voluntary donation helps support local children's hospitals affiliated with the CMN. The Hamre Team is considered a "Miracle Team" meaning that every single member donates a percentage of their income on every single home sold. Every home that is bought or sold with the Hamre Real Estate Team is a miracle home and supports CHEO.
2. Agent Fundraising: RE/MAX agents often organize fundraisers and events to raise additional funds for the Children's Miracle Network. These activities can include charity walks, golf tournaments, auctions, and more. RE/MAX Affiliates Realty LTD is at the forefront of these fundraising efforts in Ottawa. Ranked first in Ottawa for yearly contributions, RE/MAX Affiliates always steps up to the plate to support the cause.
3. Public Awareness: RE/MAX helps raise awareness about the Children's Miracle Network and the work it does to provide medical care to children. This can include advertising campaigns, social media promotion, and community outreach. The Hamre Real Estate Team is proud to support the Children's Miracle Network with public awareness in numerous social media posts.
4. Sponsorship: RE/MAX often sponsors various CMN events and initiatives. This can involve financial contributions, in-kind donations, or providing volunteers for events such as telethons, radiothons, and local fundraising campaigns. Our own Chelsea Hamre recently participated in a telethon in support of CHEO. More on that topic later in the blog.
5. Network Support: The RE/MAX network as a whole encourages participation in CMN initiatives and provides resources and support to agents who want to get involved. This includes sharing information, promoting fundraising efforts, and fostering a culture of giving back.
Through these efforts, RE/MAX and its agents help raise funds and provide support to the Children's Miracle Network, which ultimately benefits children in need of medical care at CMN-affiliated hospitals across North America.
Fundraising Efforts in Ottawa Through The Years
Paddle For Miracles
In 2021 RE/MAX Agent Jennifer Evelyn paddled from Toronto to Ottawa on her stand-up paddleboard and was able to raise $126,412 for the Children's Miracle Network. These funds were distributed between Sick Kids in Toronto and CHEO in Ottawa. This journey took incredible perseverance and was made possible by RE/MAX agents along the way. Agents offered Jennifer a place to stay or paddled along with her for parts of the journey. The Hamre Real Estate Team joined her for the last leg of her journey and paddled alongside her on the Rideau Canal to the finish line at Dow's Lake.
Motorcycle For Miracles
<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2140/image/Motorcycle%20For%20Miracles.jpg" width="1000" height="706" />
<br />Bruce Johnson's Motorcycle for Miracles is an inspiring initiative that combines the love for motorcycles with a heartfelt dedication to supporting the Children's Miracle Network (CMN). Bruce's story is an inspiring one that deeply affected us and we were thankful to be able to support him in his journey. As a passionate motorcycle enthusiast and a strong advocate for children's health, Bruce Johnson has undertaken the incredible endeavor of riding his motorcycle across vast distances to raise funds and awareness for CMN hospitals. With unwavering determination and a spirit of generosity, Bruce embarks on his journeys, captivating audiences and communities along the way. His selfless efforts not only bring joy to motorcycle enthusiasts but also contribute to improving the lives of children in need of medical care. Through Bruce Johnson's Motorcycle for Miracles, he showcases the power of passion and compassion, reminding us all that even the simplest of hobbies can make a profound difference in the lives of others. The Hamre Real Estate Team was proud to meet Bruce at CHEO where he presented his cheque to the hospital and was thanked for his incredible contributions to the cause.
Miracle Treat Day
<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2140/image/Miracle%20Treat%20Day.jpg" width="1000" height="750" />
<br />Miracle Treat Day is an eagerly anticipated annual event organized by the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) and Dairy Queen. This special day is dedicated to indulging in delicious treats while making a positive impact on the lives of children in need. On Miracle Treat Day, participating Dairy Queen locations donate a portion of the proceeds from every Blizzard treat sold to the CMN. It's a time when families, friends, and communities come together to satisfy their sweet cravings and support a worthy cause simultaneously. The event not only brings smiles to the faces of treat enthusiasts but also helps fund vital medical treatments, equipment, and programs for children's hospitals. Miracle Treat Day serves as a powerful reminder that a small act of kindness can go a long way in making a difference in the lives of children and their families.
Every year on Miracle Treat Day the Hamre real Estate Team and RE/MAX Affiliates purchases Blizzards for any friends or clients that want one. This event goes a long way to supporting the CMN. Every year on August 11th these tasty treats go to a good cause and raise awareness for Children's Hospitals across Canada.
Team Leo's Cross Canada Fundraiser
Starting in June and continuing until August 13, Leo Bruneau drove across Canada, visiting each province along the way. His goal was to raise funds and awareness for Children's Hospitals throughout the country, with the aim of making a positive impact on the lives of countless children and their families. Leo raised $100,000 for the Children's Miracle Network. RE/MAX Affiliates adn the Hamre real Estate Team were responsible for 10% of the total raised by Leo Bruneau's cross Canada drive.
CHEO Telethon 2023
<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2140/image/CHEO%20Telethon.jpg" width="1000" height="575" />
<a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/about/chelsea-hamre/">Chelsea Hamre</a> participated in this year's CHEO Telethon on behalf of RE/MAX Affiliates and the Hamre Real Estate Team. This Telethon aired on CTV and raised money for the Children's Miracle Network. The CHEO Telethon on CTV is an annual televised event that serves as a beacon of hope and a testament to the unwavering commitment to children's health. Organized by the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and broadcasted on CTV, this telethon brings together communities, volunteers, and generous donors to support the vital services provided by CHEO. During the telethon, heartwarming stories of brave children, their families, and the dedicated healthcare professionals who care for them are shared, touching the hearts of viewers across the region. The event showcases the incredible advancements in pediatric care made possible through donations and highlights the ongoing need for financial support to provide specialized medical treatments, equipment, and research initiatives. The CHEO Telethon on CTV embodies the spirit of unity and compassion as people come together to make a lasting impact on the lives of children facing health challenges.
Continuing Support for Children's Miracle Network
The RE/MAX Network continues to support the Children's Miracle Network every single day. Whether it be a bold and inspiring fundraising effort such as Paddle for Miracles or a silent donation. The Hamre Real Estate Team is a Miracle Team. We donate a portion of the proceeds on every single home sold directly to the Children's Miracle Network. We are so lucky to have CHEO in Ottawa and we will be proud to support Children's Miracle Network for years going forward. 2023-07-17T08:11:00-07:002023-07-17T10:52:16-07:00Leif Olsontag:weknowottawa.com,2012-09-20:18939Team Leo's Cross Canada Fundraiser

This November The Hamre Real Estate Team and RE/MAX Affiliates Realty LTD partnered with local businesses to collect snowsuits and donations for The Snowsuit Fund!
We are still collecting the snowsuits to be dropped off at the Snowsuit Fund early next week.
Thank you to everyone who participated in bringing donations and awareness to this incredible cause. Every year the Snowsuit Fund distributes 16,000+ snowsuits to underprivileged children in Ottawa.
We are proud to support such a worthy cause. Allowing children to be warm on their way to school as well as giving them the opportunity to play and enjoy the winters in Ottawa.
Although our official deadline has passed the Snowsuit Fund is still accepting donations directly year-round.
If you want to participate or get involved we strongly encourage it. They are a worthy cause to support and they make a tremendous difference in Ottawa.
Thank you!

I am always surprised the generosity from our clients and the public in Ottawa is unbelievable.
We're just finishing our last week with the annual snowsuit collection for the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund, which is an annual collection in the fourth quarter of every year, and this year the demand is as big as ever.
And especially for the smaller size children's suits. Anything new or used is greatly appreciated. But I want to tell you about three different situations.
One is a client of mine, Judy, who doesn't have any children and calls me every year to donate on a regular basis. Another client of mine just delivered a thousand dollars check to go directly to the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund.<br />
And then our contacts in the US shipped up three snowsuits this week with a surprise delivery which is just outstanding. <br />
I'm overwhelmed. <br />
I'm so thankful to be associated with that, with such great people and again, if you have it in your heart to or find a newer use snowsuit or have it in your heart to donate, we're still collecting snowsuits until Friday of this week, the 9th of December.
For all those that have contributed and supported this. Thank you very much.
Our storage room here at the office is full of great snowsuits that we're bringing over on Monday, and I know they're anticipating our delivery and I'm really looking forward to it.<br aria-hidden="true" /><br aria-hidden="true" />
My name is Greg Hamre from RE/MAX Affiliates in Ottawa and the Hamre Real Estate Team
Again, OTTAWA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
2022-12-07T14:09:06-07:002022-12-07T14:38:07-07:00Greg Hamretag:weknowottawa.com,2012-09-20:16253The Snowsuit Fund 2022 - Leif Olson - Hamre Real Estate Team RE/MAX Affiliates Ottawa
If you live in Ottawa you know how cold it can get in the winter.
That's why this year, for the third year in a row, the Hamre Real Estate team has partnered up with the <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/snowsuit-fund/">Ottawa Snowsuit Fund</a> to help keep Ottawa warm!
This past week we met with the <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/snowsuit-fund/">Ottawa Snowsuit Fund</a> and we were able to get a behind-the-scenes look at their operation, how things are working and where the need is, and we were able to talk about that.
And a lot of it is new families coming to Canada who aren't able to get snowsuits!
Every day so far this season they've given out around 200 snowsuits, if not more.
That's people in the Ottawa community that are unable to purchase these snowsuits for their children and are coming in to try to stay warm.
It's a really important cause in our city, and it's an organization that's run super well.
They have an incredible staff of dedicated volunteers.
So how can you help?
You can donate a new or lightly used snowsuit, or you can donate through the link on our website: https://www.weknowottawa.com/snowsuit-fund/
All the proceeds go to the <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/snowsuit-fund/">Ottawa Snowsuit Fund</a> and they use that money to buy new snowsuits<br />for children in need,
One of the areas where there's a true demand is the zero to nine months age range.
So if you're out shopping and you happen to pick up a snowsuit for a young child, it can really make a big difference in their life, not just for them, but for their entire family and for Ottawa.
So please, let's support the community.
My name is <a href="https://www.weknowottawa.com/about/leif-olson/">Leif Olson</a> with the Hamre Real Estate Team RE/MAX Affiliates in Ottawa.
Let's keep Ottawa warm.

TRICK OR TREAT
Are you ready for Halloween?
It’s time to start putting up decorations and carve some pumpkins.
This awesome Holiday is meant to be spooky but it does not have to be inaccessible!
Every year over 400,000 kids across Canada are unable to participate in Halloween due to long driveways, strobe lights, and stairs.
Join the movement and “Bring the Treats to the Street”
Help make people feel safe and supported by displaying this sign to let people know you will meet them at the end of the driveway to provide accessible trick or treating.
2022’s best Halloween decoration is this sign!
Contact the Hamre Team to pick up your sign today! 2022-10-26T09:00:00-07:002022-11-01T08:11:26-07:00Leif Olsontag:weknowottawa.com,2012-09-20:12166Treat Accessibly Ottawa<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2140/image/Treat_Accessibly.jpg" width="1200" height="628" />
What is Treat Accessibly?
Treat Accessibly is a grassroots movement that started in 2017. By 2020, 40,000 homes were having a Treat Accessibly Halloween. This movement was started by Siena, a 10-year-old who believes that every child should be able to access Halloween.
How Many Children Can This Impact?
400,000 children, in Canada, and 4 million in the U.S. identify with having a disability that may prevent them from Trick-or-Treating with their siblings and other kids because of something as simple as stairs or steep driveways.
By making Halloween accessible it can also help children feel supported and encouraged in other aspects of life.
How Does It Work?
You put out our orange sign that tells families in your neighbourhood that if their child has a disability, they are welcome to experience Halloween without barriers at your home. This could mean setting up a trick or treat station in your garage, at the curb or coming down your front steps to meet certain trick or treaters.
The sign also promises a safe environment for all children to feel welcomed and included on Halloween.
How Do I Get My Sign?
Signs are completely free and can be picked up at our office: 1180 Place d'Orleans Drive. We will provide the sign and a stake to place it in the ground.
You can contact us below if you want to give us a heads up before coming by to grab your sign! We hope to see you soon!

✨I’m Chelsea Hamre from the Hamre Real Estate Team at RE/MAX Affiliates in Ottawa and we have a huge opportunity to make a difference as RE/MAX Agents through donations and helping our hospitals across Canada.
With many Children’s hospitals relying heavily on the fundraising initiatives of partners and supporters who engage the community, the effects of COVID-19 has caused a 50% decrease in donations for @cmncanada <br />
We can change that with our donation - It’s easy! Click on the link shared above, sign up and make a contribution of your choice. Whether that’s $50, $100, $1000 or more, it all makes a difference!
Within an hour after that, you’ll receive an influencer package with a frame to add to your FB profile, IG and other socials to show your support of the RE/MAX Season of Miracles Campaign. Make sure to also Like/engage with other influencers posts to spread the word. <br />
RE/MAX always steps up, and I encourage you to help make a difference!
We are RE/MAX; you can make a difference, but together we will make a change in the health of Canada! Our opportunity is now, to NEVER leave a generation behind, click below and donate today. ❤️
