Sugar Bird is working in association with their sister corporation RA Hamilton Developments on their newest endeavor involving converting the old Rosedale Golf Course to an ecological community of small homes.

Bob and Norah Hamilton have big dreams of creating the ideal neighbourhood where they would like to retire themselves. One where both families and seniors intermix in a recreational cottage resort setting. A community where children, adults and seniors alike are active, interconnected, creative and involved. A place with breath-taking views of the surrounding valley, gardens, streams, walking paths, a large outdoor kitchen/bbq area, stocked fishing ponds, perhaps a chicken coop, beehives, a chip and putt green, pickle ball courts and a variety of eco-friendly activities that a person could partake of or ignore.  

Bob and Norah have pledged to donate a $1000 to Sugar Bird for each property sold at the Sagebrush location in addition to $500 per every property sold that they currently own.

Norah and Bob have funded building homes in India, Thailand, Argentina and Mexico. Norah continually preaches the most important pillars of mental wellness are, having a stable home, being involved in the community and staying physically fit. For this reason, Sugar Bird chooses to support organizations like Habitat for humanity, Hope for Nations and Hope House. 

Habitat for Humanity:
HFH collects Volunteers, Homeowners, individuals and corporations to donate their time and funds to build homes around the world.  In conjunction with Sugar Bird, Bob and Norah Hamilton have had the opportunity to build and rehabilitate safe, decent and affordable single-family and multi-unit houses for those who are less fortunate.
