Dharma in the Community

Dharma strongly believes in giving back to the community by actively promoting the arts, supporting
charitable organizations and fostering the growth of our economy.

Urbana is our charitable fundraising party hosted annually with the goal of preventing
homelessness in Ottawa. The innaugural event in 2005 raised $20,000 and has since been our benchmark
annual contribution. As home builders, we believe that decent, safe, affordable housing should be
available to everyone. We hope that you share this vision and join us at our next Urbana party.

Dharma Arts is an online magazine devoted to showcasing and promoting our artists in Ottawa that
are making waves. Every great city on our planet has a vibrant arts community that has contributed to its
story. Art is a medium to explore and question our beliefs, celebrate our innovations and inspire
creativity. Art is not just a way to adorn our lives, but an integral part in designing our lives to be better...

Sponsorships are a great way to 'meet the neighbors' in our community and celebrate their successes. We
proudly have sponsored Canada Day in Kanata 2005, Goulborn Rams Major Atom A Hockey Team since
2006, participated in the Nortel Dragon Boat Festival since 2006, provided a scholarship to Studio de
danse Danielle in 2007, and have committed to build a private room in the new wing of the Elisabeth
Bruyere Hospice in 2009.

A small but meaningful Christmas tradition... each year we commission a new Ottawa artist to design our
company holiday cards. We are delighted with the results and are always happy to show their work to our
networks of suppliers, clients, friends and family. See 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007.
