“We believe in what the  Famous 5 Foundation is working for, and we wish to support it any way we can,” says ProCura sales manager Sherry Schluessel. “Besides we do have our offices at the historical Nellie McClung House and what could be more appropriate than supporting the movement she helped build?”

“We are extremely thrilled to be building a relationship with ProCura,” says Famous 5 Foundation chair Gillian Lawrence.

The developer has pledged to give $100,000 to the Famous 5 Foundation when it sells out its Montana multi-family project. ProCura will donate $1,000 for each of the remaining units it sells in the newly completed highrise.

The Famous 5 Foundation is dedicated to preserving the legacy of famed suffragists, legislators and women’s rights advocates: Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards and Irene Parlby. The Alberta women were lifelong champions of the rights of women and children, and are perhaps best known for winning the 1929 “Persons” Case--inspiring Canada’s Parliament, and eventually the entire British Empire, to recognize women as persons under the law.

The Montana is a 27-floor residential tower at 817 15th Ave S.W.
