Mainstreet Equity Corp. is working to provide shelter and support for Jasper residents displaced by the wildfires that continue to wreak havoc on western Canada. Mainstreet’s offer includes a six-month lease, with no rental fees for the first two months.

According to Bob Dhillon, Founder, President and CEO of the Calgary-based real estate company, occupational opportunities at Mainstreet are also available to help support the independence of those in need.

“People are fleeing a serious threat, and that means they are forced to abandon their lives to seek safety elsewhere,” he said. “Many are now grappling with the devastating loss of their homes, the uncertainty of their current situation, and the challenge of finding a new place to go. We would like to help these individuals, by making this offer during these times of tight rental markets, to move into a place that is stable and comfortable.”

On July 24, the wildfire swept through the region destroying more than 350 buildings in the mountain town of Jasper, which is home to just under 5,000 people and thousands of seasonal workers. Further west, hundreds of people across B.C. continue to face evacuation orders as out-of-control wildfires continue to spread.

Jasper residents in need of assistance are encouraged to call 866-480-6246 or email customerservice@mainst.biz
