Strategic Group CEO offering carte blanche to meet the demand
By Brodie Thomas for Metro, Nov 17 2015: Calgary’s landlords are stepping forward to say they’re ready to accept Syrian refugees into their properties.
[…] Riaz Mamdani, the CEO of Calgary-based Strategic Group said his company – which owns rental properties across Canada – is prepared to open its properties to Syrian refugees with no limits imposed.
“If that means we’re not going to charge them for a period of time, that’s our commitment to the overall cause,” said Mamdani.
He said his company doesn’t have a budget in this undertaking.
“Our plan is to do what it takes,” he said. “Our plan is to assess the need. The greater the need, the greater the resources – and we’ll find the resources.”
Mamdani is himself a refugee. His parents fled Uganda in 1973 when he was just a small child, and they settled in Calgary. He went on to study pharmacy and law before finding his niche in real estate.
“My family are immigrants to Canada who came in a difficult time from a part of the world that was in chaos,” he said. “This is part of giving back to people 45 years later in a similar circumstance.”
