Killam Apartment REIT has been a tremendous partner of YWCA Halifax, supporting our housing programs for women experiencing homelessness, our employment programs for women moving out of poverty, our newcomer programs for women recently arrived to Canada, as well as our organization more broadly as a donor and contributor. As our Housing Manager once said, “It’s like Killam staff are a part of our housing team.

Since Shelter Nova Scotia began our Supportive Housing Program in 2010, Killam Properties was our first and primary partner. Over the years we have worked together to house many people experiencing homelessness. Partnerships like these ensure people have access to safe and appropriate housing, with supports in place to promote housing stability. We are grateful for what we have achieved together.

Ronald McDonald House Charities® Atlantic is incredibly fortunate for the generous support of Killam Properties. The suite they provide RMHC® Atlantic helps ensure that families with sick or immune-compromised children requiring long-term stays in Halifax have a place to call home while their child is receiving hospital care. Killam Properties’ support continues to have a lasting and meaningful impact on the well-being of our visiting families.
 

After five years at The Plaza, I would like to express my appreciation to Killam for the various social activities offered to the tenants. My granddaughters participated in the seasonal parties hosted by the resident managers and had fun every time. I looked forward to attending the pot luck suppers held in the lounge which gave those that attended an opportunity to chat and share a meal. My all time favorite was the yoga classes, held twice a week for six weeks/twice a year. Scattered in between were various exercise workouts which I normally would not have had the opportunity to try. So I would have to say, there's always something entertaining happening at The Plaza!

I have been a resident of Williams court for nearly three years. My changed circumstances suggested a move to a different apartment would be appropriate. The Williams Court leasing department assisted my search. Once an appropriate apartment became available, Jessica of leasing couldn’t have been more helpful with all aspects of the move. I greatly appreciated her assistance and would recommend her to prospective clients without reservation.

Killam sponsors several tenant events over the course of the year. For example, the BBQ held each summer, is a special event held out in the large courtyard where residents  are invited to enjoy food, drinks and rousing music. The weekly coffee mornings are also a great way for residents to get together and socialize. So as you can see Killam is doing its very best to make all of us feel valued and welcome.
