Kelly Lerigny

I came to Chilliwack in 1972 when I was just 10 years old. I met my husband Steve in 1978, yes, my high school sweetheart, and we have been married for over 40 years now. We have one lovely daughter, who is now also married, making us grandparents in September of 2007 and again in March of 2010. Before becoming a REALTOR® in 1987, I worked in retail management and later I was an arts council administrator.

In addition to my real estate career, my husband and I enjoy cooking together and we love good wine. Our real passion is boating the gorgeous BC and Washington islands and coastline in our power boat. My quiet obsession is with knitting and I’m working diligently to increase my skills.

I hold a strong philosophy towards giving back and have always ‘been involved’ my whole adult life. I am a past President of the BC Real Estate Association an organization which amongst other activities lobbies governments for housing opportunities for all people and the protection of property owner’s interests. After that role I was a Governor and past Chair of the Real Estate Foundation of BC, a philanthropic organization that funds healthy communities, good environmental stewardship and land use. I serve locally on the Affordable Housing Committee with the City of Chilliwack. In recent years my giving back to Chilliwack has included sponsoring two murals on Mill Street as part of the Chilliwack Mural Festival. Being a big advocate of the arts, it is my kind of billboard.

I support the contributions that RE/MAX makes to the Children’s Miracle Network by donating a portion of every sale to BC Children’s Hospital. My husband Steve and I are also committed to building inclusion,acceptance and accessibility to all people in our life and in our community. We drawn to and support many individual initiatives that promote those ideals in Chilliwack and worldwide.
