It was a night to be remembered and celebrated as Guelph-based Skyline took home not one, but two FRPO M.A.C. Awards, the first for “Property Management Advertising – Corporate Branding” and the other for “Outstanding Community Service”. FRPO, which stands for Federation of Rental Housing Providers of Ontario is the province’s leading advocate for quality for rental housing and has over 800 members.

On December 3rd , 2009, FRPO held their annual MAC Awards at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, where hundreds of industry professionals where in attendance. These awards are much like winning the academy awards for the Apartment industry and Skyline was both thrilled and honoured to be among the winning companies.
Skyline attributes their community service win to their continued dedication to charitable events in both the cities in which they operate and in their apartment buildings. Some highlights include a $21,000 monetary donation to Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph and Onward Willow, a $150,000 land donation to Habitat for Humanity, a sponsorship of the Guelph Storm OHL team for the 2009/2010 season, food drives and toy drives at their buildings, an office space donation to the Red Cross to bring tenant services into their building, as well as many tenant events and programs.
Skyline was also nominated for four additional categories including, “Curb Appeal”, “Property Management Website Award – Corporate Branding”, “Lobby Renovation of the Year Award” and “Suite Renovation Award – Over $5000.
This year’s MAC Award competition was the largest in its history with over 112 submissions in 15 categories.
