Congratulations to Martha Hart for being named Calgarian of the Year by the Calgary Awards for her philanthropy with the Owen Hart Foundation.
The Owen Hart Foundation has three main philanthropic programs. A scholarship program, a home ownership program and a global partnership program.
The scholarship program helps lower income high schoolers with access to otherwise unaffordable post-secondary education.
The home ownership Program has successfully helped hundreds of lower income families purchase their own homes.
And the global partnership program sees the Owen Hart Foundation partner with outside organizations both locally and internationally with philanthropic efforts. Including the Calgary Zoo and Alberta Children's Hospital.
Hart has also created special projects such as backpack giveaways, food drives and foreign aid.
