2013 saw Team Greenwin featured in a number of respected publications, including our very own superstar CEO Kris Boyce on the cover of Canadian Apartment Magazine's Women of Influence issue. Kris and Greenwin were also featured in various articles in Rental Housing Business magazine and FE Magazine. In the fall, The Toronto Star profiled our work in transforming The Oaks into a vibrant neighbourhood - it was an inspiring piece that shows the power of community and positivity!

Last year brought us several opportunities to get together with the Greenwin family and celebrate our successes. Our annual summer boat cruise took place on the tall ship Kajama where we also celebrated Kris' birthday with an impromptu rendition of "Happy Birthday". In October, Greenwin itself reached a big milestone - 65 years of building great communities in Canada! We took the opportunity to celebrate this achievement with our closest friends and family.
November saw an amazing recognition bestowed on Greenwin's very own Cary Green - he was honoured at Chabad Lubavitch's 35th Annual Dinner. Cary was celebrated for his commitment to giving back to the community through a number of wonderful initiatives, as well as his social consciousness that is steeped in family. Congratulations once again to Cary for inspiring us!

Last week, on a break from visiting Northern Israel's Hula Valley with PM Harper, Cary was spotted in local Israeli weekly newspaper Meida 8.
Check out the top-right image in the article attached. Translation: "This week, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited the Hula
Valley along with the leaders of the Jewish community in Toronto, Mr. Alan Greenberg, Mr. Cary Green and Mr. Kevin Green, true lovers of Israel and our city. Respect!"

2013 found Team Greenwin coming out in full force to support SickKids not once, but twice! In February, we
rocked the indoor volleyball courts to raise funds for
SickKids during the Icewave tournament. When the
weather turned decidedly warmer, we hit the beach
to take part in the SickKids Heatwave tournament. These
are some of our favourite events each year and we are
looking forward to taking part again in 2014.

Team Greenwin was proud to sponsor a number of amazing events and initiatives in 2013, including the rockin' Isrock Festival in April that was put on by our friends at Motek Cultural Initiative and the Spider Jones Fight for Youth Boxing Championship in November. Among the other amazing events that the Greenwin family sponsored or took part in were for great organizations like the Israel Tennis Centre & ORA, Scadding Court Community Centre, Enbridge's Ride to Conquer Cancer, the Scott Mission, Neighbours Night Out, San Romanoway Revitilization Association, Thorncliffe Park Tenant's Association, Doorsteps' Annual Masquerade Ball, Valley Park Go Green Cricket Field, Kehilla Residential Programme, and Spin Master Caring & Sharing.
2013 also saw the launch of our First Annual Charity Golf Classic. This event, benefitting the ITC and ORA, proved immensely successful and even featured a special appearance from World Series hero Joe Carter. Get those golf clubs shined up for the 2014 edition!
Finally, one of our favourite moments of the year was when our own Kevin Green and Brian Turpin donned the shoes and wigs to clown it up as Celebrity Clowns in the 2013 Santa Claus Parade!

Here We Grow Again!
Kris’ Korner: what a year for Team Greenwin. As this edition of The Green Pages can attest, we worked hard in 2013 to achieve some incredible goals. I am particularly proud of how much the Greenwin family loves to give back to our communities—the generosity and kind spirit of everyone on Team Greenwin is so wonderful to see and to be a part of every single day. Let's keep it going all year long!
Wishing everyone on Team Greenwin a happy and healthy start to 2014!
