Excel Homes Shines at the 2025 Calgary Corporate Challenge


This year, Excel Homes brought our A-game to the Calgary Corporate Challenge—showcasing not only our competitive spirit, but also our dedication to teamwork, community involvement, and a little friendly rivalry. The annual event brings together companies from across Calgary for weeks of competition, camaraderie, and giving back—and it’s become a highlight for our team year after year.

Our Excel crew jumped into a variety of events, from bowling and bocce ball to trivia and basketball. The energy, dedication, and collaboration from every participant was inspiring, reminding us of the power of teamwork and the joy of celebrating wins together.

And celebrate we did! Excel placed 6th overall in our division at the September Games, earning a record-setting 109 points—our best result yet. Along the way, we brought home three medals:

  • 🥇 Gold in Bowling
  • 🥈 Silver in Horseshoes
  • 🥉 Bronze in Laser Tag

We’re thrilled be the the winner of the 2025 Calgary Corporate Design Challenge. This year’s event celebrated the 30th anniversary of the September games, with the theme “Destination CCC," taking participants on an exciting journey around the globe.

Not only did we make a strong showing on the scoreboard, but we also strengthened connections within our team and across the community.

Giving Back to the Community

The Calgary Corporate Challenge is about so much more than competition. At its heart, it’s about supporting local charities, fostering relationships, and making a difference in our city. This year, Excel Homes proudly supported three incredible organizations:

Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta
In July, our team attended a Lunch and Learn to better understand how RMHC supports families with seriously ill or injured children. In August, a group of Excel volunteers rolled up their sleeves for Home for Dinner, preparing and serving a warm meal for families staying at the House—a truly rewarding evening that left smiles all around.

Canadian Blood Services
Excel Homes organized an on-site blood drive this year, welcoming six new donors to the registry. At the closing ceremonies, our efforts were recognized with a plaque from Canadian Blood Services—an honour we’re incredibly proud of.

Calgary Drop-In Centre
Through the Calgary Drop-In Centre’s Free Goods Program, lightly used essentials like furniture, appliances, and clothing find new homes with low- and no-income Calgarians. Excel was proud to contribute to this important initiative, helping individuals and families move forward with dignity and hope.

A Big Thanks to Our Team

We couldn’t have done it without the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication of our Excel Homes family. Whether you competed, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, or helped with logistics—thank you. You embody the spirit of Excel.

A special shoutout goes to our volunteer crew who helped run the Mini Golf event, proudly sponsored by Excel Homes again this year. From handing out swag to connecting with the community, we were front and centre—and loved every minute of it.
