Hey friends, welcome to another Edition. It's been a while
of Calgary Living Real Estate lifestyle.
Today, I have a good friend, be good training,
buddy from a, we have a similar coach in crackles, beat
Myron, Tetro Myron, welcome to the show. Thanks, Brian. It's an honor and a
privilege Myron. I was tellin surely just 10 minutes ago.
How, you know, she asked me how my resume
appointments went this today. This afternoon
Soon and I said, well, I XYZ happened and now I'm meeting miring
at, you know, ten minutes. And she goes, who's miring, I go. Well,
he went to Nepal with us and she goes ah, ah, she goes,
you know, I often think of Myron and his nice smile.
That's an impressive and
said I miss them and she and I go Myron's nice smile.
Goes. Yeah, especially when his daughter would call.
I thought that was so nice because
I actually Mark that as well, when Pascal would call while
you and I were recently in Nepal together trekking and and you
know, your daughter who's very close. I would call and man, Myron just
be turned into this sponge of kindness and niceness,
not that you aren't all the time.
Anyway, Myron again bed. So early and
on the show we just got back from Nepal, you
You, we did. We had a wonderful trip with our wives and another friend, Bruce
hiking up to Everest Base Camp and it was fantastic. We will have to
dig down a little bit on how that all happened, but Myron. Um, this is a
show on Calgary living a little bit. And, and you've been in Calgary a
long time. Can you tell us a little bit about how you happened to Landing
Calgary? I think there was twice that you've
landed in Calgary. Sure. Well, I was
In Calgary. My father was a high school teacher at st. Francis High, School
years ago. And so I was born. Here we lived here up until I was about 8 years
old, other than one year, when we went my dad,
sabbatical for a year and we lived in
excellent bras cracked, which is where I didn't like my kindergarten.
We came back to Calgary and
then when I was in grade 3, my father got a job with in Saskatchewan
and, and we moved out there. And so I lived in
Regina from the age of eight up, until the end of hi, High
school and I went to universities in Ottowa. I did a business degree their
cookie or off when traveling the three years of
Law School in Saskatoon. And then when I
graduate decided, I wanted to be back in Calgary
and moved here in 1992 and I've been
here since and so in 1992 and was your family here when you came back,
they were not they, they stayed in Saskatchewan. Okay, good. And it
seems to me that in the end. How did you decide Calgary here? Your
In you I guess actually was had you already met your wife at that
you of Ottawa and I had not actually that's a longer story.
We were actually in grade 1 and 2 together here in Calgary, but we only
met a few years. After I went back to Calgary, she was worried about Uncle.
But no I moved here because I was interested in business and
initially in the area of business law and
I felt that Calgary was a good place for that with
Number of head offices, with a very
entrepreneurial feel to the city. I thought it
would be a good place for me to launch a career.
When you think back to that time
1992, I graduate from University 1990. And at
that time in my perspective as a, I was studying Recreation. So we're
certainly come from different backgrounds,
in mindsets, probably have time. There wasn't really any
work in 92. There be a little bit more where I mean,
actually Canada. Why my grad class?
There is like just no jobs for actually it's Municipal Recreation is kind of
what we were trained for and so how about it you in 1992? T
was Vancouver was Toronto other options or what
like why did it why did you pick Calgary in the end?
Was it the Alberta Advantage? Certainly didn't exist.
At that time, I don't think did it.
I was interested in Calgary
partly from having fun memories of when I was younger.
And also, you know, when I was in law school
School, that the law firms would come to recruit
when we were in. Second year. I did interviews
with some firms in Calgary, and I actually
had a job lined up prior to graduating from law
school. So, I came out here to start that job with law,
firm called been a Jones
and they had active busy practice, and was an opportunity
for me to jump in to work with some intelligent people. On some
very interesting cause I enjoyed it and kind of jump right into it. When I I
got here. Cool. Very cool. And tell us a little bit about mean I know
you're very involved in the mountains and the
outdoors that time like early may, like most of the 90s
and tell us about some of your first real estate decisions
in Calgary is where did you end up living? When you moved here 92,
was it the neighborhood that you like your early life perch?
Or how did you choose that neighborhood
coming in on the law school from Ottawa? Yeah. Well I mean
coming out of this University I did not have
the funds to buy a house. I ended up
renting a townhouse with three roommates
who were friends from law school. We
lived up near the shagging a golf course and then eventually purchased
a house with roommate and then when
I got married my wife and I bought a house in elbow
Park and that's where our first one was very nice and
so You're saying that be, so you've always lived
south of the Bow River? Yes. Is there a reason?
I mean, I do you think do you think
there's any truth in calgarians either live on the North of the
Bow River or the south of Bow River and
that tends to be where their life is? Yeah, I
guess I should back off from that we did
live in VAR C Acres when I was younger. He's right about that.
Yes. And then so, for a short period time
when I had a roommate, we lived North River as well.
But for a long time, I have been So I don't necessarily see that as the big
divider for me, but Elmo Park was a great neighborhood for us with Inner
City close to downtown. And work was an important thing at
that time and like that neighborhood.
Then we eventually later on. Once we had our
third child and we needed a little bit more space.
We moved into discovered rich and little bit
further in the southwest and that was a
nice neighborhood for many years. We just
recently sold there, but live there for a long time.
I enjoyed Griffith Woods. It's
very easy, access to brag Creek into the mountains and, and a
nice family friendly neighborhood. What was it?
Like moving from a older inner-city neighborhood to
Discovery Ridge? I think you as I remember, he moved there and I think 2007
and the community was fairly new, I think 2004 and stuff was being built up.
Well, how was that in terms of adjustment or transition? Obviously
lots of families and young kids Your kids were in that age.
Yeah I mean it was very much more suburban and of course the
that area and we I guess liked it, there's less
traffic. There were a lot of young kids
on the street that we lived on. And so, you know, our
kids develop friends in the neighborhood.
And as I mentioned, the recreational aspect, it was a
really good spot for running and for cycling in the areas around there. And then easy
access to the mountains which we often
went to on the weekends. Nice modern. Um,
obviously, I'm very interested in real estate.
You have some interesting real estate stories,
can you tell us a little bit about maybe some of
your first investments in downtown Calgary? I mean,
parking lots. We I just like shocking a little
bit and actually and relating that to the boom and bust
economy that we have in Calgary.
Can you kind of touch base on those two points and maybe around the
same story? I suppose as I understand it and you're telling me in Nepal?
Yeah, I'm so real star. State has been a big part of
my business career when I left the practice of law in 1998. I went
into two business will time and in a number of areas and one of the aspects that
I've devoted a lot of energy and is in the real estate side.
And so I have a real estate company
called Fitzroy developments, with two business
partners that we started back in 2003.
And our first purchase was a package of
six parking lots in park at the time.
I'm had been sold to a private Equity Group
and they were moving away from ownership
of their parking. Lots just simply managing them
managing the locks. And so they put these up for sale,
we did on it, we were successful,
we were able to renegotiate the parking contracts,
which bump the income on them and our plan
was to hold them for indefinitely as a source source of income.
And then I guess shortly after that, things started picking up with the
development in the areas where they were,
We have two parking lots in Calgary Edmonton and
Regina and over the course of the.
Next number of years, we had opportunities to sell them not
as parking, lots but as development sites into
other projects and that was really, what sort of
gave us a base of capital to expand into other areas of real
estate. And who do you like most about Calgary? Well,
definitely the, I think it's a great place to do business on mention before we
never had Offices here. Downtown core obviously with
some boom and bust but generally has been very vibrant
place to work. There is an entrepreneurial
spirit and you know, unlike other cities where
there tends to be more, generational wealth. And
here, I think a lot of people are entrepreneurs
people who came from humble beginnings
and moved here, worked hard and we're successful.
And I liked that spirit in Calgary.
And so as part of that, I guess I also met my
wife here and built our family. And really enjoy the community. I'm
fortunate to have lots of great friends and and that's been a big part of
Calgary's. Well, the area's. Beautiful. We go, our
kids were big into downhill ski racing, we spent a
long time in the mountains doing that and as you know I've
got into the triathlons and trail running and Calgary has been absolutely
fantastic place for that. Both within the city of areas like fish
knows he'll even Griffith woods with Was near our place along the river
downtown. There's there's so many great running paths within the city and then you're just a
short drive the way to Greg Creek Dam or to math.
And those areas where there's just a world
of possibilities of places to go running and other types of recreation. Exactly. I'm
Martin something about that. I actually one of the things I love about Calgary is actually,
is is like the sport, the health Wellness, the outdoors
kind of thing, but the other kind of cool.
Thing that I kind of remark on. There's a lot of
fast, guys and women, but in her age group, I mean, we're kind of, like, we will
not know we like between between 40 and 60, any comment on that. I mean, your big
part of that group, I'm thinking specifically about the Bowl here, one of the the bo
Valley harriers. And I give me this just like it's kind of fascinating at
how many well, you know, maybe amateur kind of Canadian titles that a lot of our
colleagues similar age. Have and do. And can you just talk a little bit
on that? Maybe. I mean, I know you're big part of that
community and have lots of friends from Ken young
to Jody to Coach Cal zosky. Well, I think
Calgary at there's definitely a part of the community is that has this
culture of sport. And I think a number of reasons for me, the history of the
1988 Olympics and some of the Legacy facilities that were left here from that, lots of great
training places in Calgary. And I don't know, I think it feel that
young entrepreneurial Spirit translated, it also into people that want to challenge themselves in other
ways. And we see that in Calgary with there are a number of sports that have
their head offices for those Sports associations here and you have a number of Olympic athletes,
you know, painting in particular, winter sports, you know that can more Calgary area
and number of schools that are dedicated to that. So I think there's some support for the
sport and I think He's been building with cells when you have a core of people that
are doing it, it attracts other people. And I think we're fortunate to have just really
great group of people in that running swimming,
Triathlon community in Calgary that you're also part of
that. Makes it fun to be part of. Yeah, yeah. It's really about, I mean,
you know, we do these things, but it's actually
about the people we do it with. And, you know, they have these
experiences. But I just love that about where we live,
my, I can't help. I want to talk. That may be but your own kids, tell us about your kids,
and maybe can relate it to little bit too. I guess, you know, choosing their schools in
later life and all your involvement with Weber Katha me, and you've been very
involved and, but like really helped. Not only, I mean, that's one group of
organization that I know if that you've helped. And, but in terms of land, acquisition
and development, that would tell us a little bit about well, maybe your kids and in the school they
went to and what's going on with What's exciting about all
that land stuff that you've done it like, completely
unrelated to anything? We've already spoke about
One pork is three boys and a girl. There are youngest as a
daughter and she just graduated from high school. She's off at University and Concordia our
oldest son, graduated from University of Calgary with mechanical engineering degree and my second
son is studying accounting and third son is studying Finance. They're both in
Calgary here as well. So they were active growing up as well involved. With a lot of
sports. They did swimming and karate and other things when they're younger and
then all four of them. Did ski racing, who spent a lot of time out in the can were
area are from Club was the Bow Valley Club out of Norquay,
bamf Alpine Racers. And so, we spent a lot of years taking the kids out there with ski
racing and they've stayed active in those kinds of things, when are both my wife
and I come from French background? So when we,
the kids were younger, we sent them to the Catholic
francophone school called Saint Margaret Bourgeois. And they went there up until about the
gray day. Eight, it varied a little bit by Kid, and then they went to high school
at Weber Academy. The grant graduated from there. Now, what work Adam? He's the school that was
founded by my Uncle Neil Webber, and when it was being founded, I was working as a lawyer at the time,
and I helped him with the establishment of at school and sat on the board of the school
itself for about 20 years. And then a few years ago, we broke it into two pieces. We
established an endowment for the school and I share that in down. So, spent lots of time over the
years, working with them, Remember early on when we started the school first
three years, we rented a facility in North Calgary, just off of
Center Street and we quickly outgrew that space and so we were looking
for an errand. We did a lot of studies of what would be the right spot for a new
private school. And we ended up choosing both with Calgary and we had an opportunity to buy 42 acres
of land. Just to the west of the West Side Recreation Center there and
and nearby. Aspen area. But at the time it was it was outside of the city limits of
farmland and course over the last 20 plus years, 25 years. I guess
things have grown up around there and it's now part of a Vibrant Community, but we're very fortunate to
acquire that land and then over the course of its existence, they've expanded the facilities are number of
time it times, it started with the main school and then we added a Kinder Center
and then the next wave, I think we added a high school building. And then we also
finally added A Performing Arts Theater, wonderful
school grades facilities and they built a science center there for the high school kids as well.
And then as we looked forward to Future a few years ago we
wanted to see if there wasn't a piece of land that we could buy and Springbank that would allow us to
expand the school in the future and we're looking for a smaller
piece of land, but as it turned out, we had an opportunity
to buy a bigger piece of land and took advantage of
that. And so the school right now is in the process of on that Lambda building out an
athletic Park that will host. It already hosted a
baseball club but will also be a great facility for the
neighborhood in the area as well. And the initial phase of that athletic part involves for
baseball diamonds who soccer fields and a 50,000 square-foot field house and the field
house will have batting cages pitching analysis, weight
rooms, And then the top floor will be adding some multi-purpose rooms including
a robotics lab for the high school. Very excited about that. And that's
being in the construction phase over the last year or two here and we're getting just
close to finishing finishing. Now, the to baseball diamonds are finished and the field house will
be officially open and sometimes in a few months. Hmm. It's it's cool to
me, how involved you are in really Number of projects, but
Community. Remember you tell me, actually, maybe we'll sort of relating
a little a little bit back to community like thinking, local and acting Global
or, you know, being somewhat Global as well. The
you told me a little bit of years ago, your dad was teacher. I think 10 years or so ago you and your
dad for whatever reason decided to go to Nepal and I think he built a
school or you know and have been supporting books or Zero in the polls. Tell us a little bit about your
involvement. Maybe, you know, internationally and how you're giving back to, you know, to
communities like that one. Well, you know, way too much about me. Brian.
I know some of those DUI pieces.
As you mentioned, we have been involved in some community activities and few years ago,
my wife and I set up a foundation and but prior to that with my business partners who are real
estate company. We decided to to Do some charitable
activities and we partnered up with the charity out of San Francisco called room to
read that back in that time was building schools and libraries around the
world and they actually started in Nepal and their founder was filming
drawn Widow. At it, a chance to meet and just felt a lot of kinship with him.
We had some similarities in our story. We'd both been backpacking in Nepal when we were
universities there earlier in our life, I guess. That and saw that some of the needs over
there. And so we threw room for Reed. Decided to build a school there
in 2009 and we dedicate it to our parents. And so for me it was a
trip that I did with my father. We went to the opening of that school and it was a great bonding trip and
an opportunity for us to share that together. Yeah it's awesome
and then you end up going to flying into lukla I believe and doing a track with your dad to
Nancy bizarre. Correct. Yeah we kind of Hard, part of the same ground on our recent trip
there, right? I was going to say, like, which are very familiar to me, all of a sudden. And modern,
Let's, uh, let's talk a little bit about. Let our audience know a little bit, how I
happen or how you happened are and well, you and Katherine, and then how I
happened to, what's your perspective, how did truly,
and I and Bruce half of them to come along with you
guys to Nepal, let's just share that from your purse. Sure. I mean, of course, you know, I've
known each other for over 10 years because you mentioned at the opening, the We have common coach
Cal's Rescue Training with a group called critical speed and so we've known each other from that. And
then when we recently decided to make the move to sell our house and Calgary
we hired you as a real estate agent and it was a
tour. De force performance where everything just went absolutely perfectly in
terms of how you want to sail to go. I think we picked the right timing. We did. We had
spoken in probably six months in advance with the idea that we We had planned to sell our
house and so he had met with my wife and I and
we talk through what the market look like in some of the things that
we could do to prepare our house for that sale. And then in the lead up
to it before we actually did the listing, of course we completed some of those things and then we prep
the market a little bit by speaking to some of the agents in the neighborhood.
Let it was a time where there was
quite a bit of demand was a little bit before the busier spring season and we thought we
would get ahead of that and we let people know that this was going. To come up for sale.
It was really remarkable the way it played out. I mean we listed that that house at
I think 7 p.m. on a Monday and by 7:30 you had six or seven
calls with several of them. Insisting on seeing the house that night, there are a
few showings on the very first evening, we got immediately and unconditional
offer above list price. Ask them to leave it open for 24 hours and then we loop
back with everyone else that expressed interest and it
turned into into a bidding war, amongst some
parties that really wanted the house and eventually within 24
hours, we accepted an offer. Well above list unconditional. So
it, we were just thrilled with way that happened and so to celebrate our successful transaction
Katherine and I invited you and surely to go for a hike, though, which
hike we did. We went out to somewhere around can more and
you came in and visit us here in can work for
hiking, we're telling you about our plans to go hiking. In the Paul and that we were
open to having some people join us and you guys
immediately jumped on that. I think within a few
days said we're in and we finished off the planning that trip and then ended
up inviting your friend Bruce and six months later I guess we did our trip.
Yeah it's interests and thank you for sharing the story. But my really are great
work and getting your home sold and that wasn't where I really was going with it
but I'm so glad you told everybody in most every transaction. Action. I do is just like that
one. That's that story because that's better success than that. And
I remember sitting with you and Catherine can more after our hike and
I think that was when you told me you were going to apologize.
Like kind of looked across to him, honest like
just like, well, can I come or can we come? I kind of said, I
think it was like, I don't think I waited for your invitation and I was just
like, what is like, what how you doing that?
And you're like yeah. Kind of self, organized it using an
appellee supplier through a, you know,
contact yours with, you know, summited Everest in the
late 90s, I believe and it seemed quite affordable
and like, in terms of the, you know, what?
We are getting and so, yeah, surely. And I think
immediately said yes. And then I had to like, you know,
kind of push really little bit, just a little bit
because she's not terribly really interested in Southeast Asia as a Canadian
and her background is like She loves Canada and our climate
and, you know, southeast Asia kind of scares her a little bit,
but what I what a great opportunity
and actually I kind of went to related a little bit to you as
a planner and you and Katherine has planners.
And and I find I'm finding my this personally
later as I become, you know, the age where ash I'm really starting
to realize, I'm not a good planner. I'm not a great planner at this kind of activity so I
really need like a friend like you who's doing this. Then I'm like, I think I'm a willing
and active and good participant. Any thoughts on that Meyer? And
why are you a good planner? I would say, actually, your friend, our friend,
now Bruce, put us all to shame in that regard. Once he jumped on board,
don't think he'd mind me sharing that our net. Please
guide in a friendly way dumped him. Mr. Many emails
Bruce of many emails. Yeah. Yes. But But no, I think it was
fortunate that I had been there before,
so I had some familiar with the country. I was able to get
a contact through a friend who had been there as you mentioned. And then the group
there helped us plan plan, the trip and I think traveling has been a big part of
my life, right? From when I was young playing sports as a kid,
it's growling. And then in the University had an
opportunity to do a couple of longer backpacking trips and
University. And you know through that of You that love of travel and so, you
know, when once you've done that a little bit, you think of the things you need to
plant in order to do those trips. And we just put
that together for Nepal and everything worked out really. Well,
we're very fortunate with some of the decisions we made to be able to get in
to the Everest region, even though the weather was not great. And
yeah it was it just turned out as expected and we had a great trip
that a great trip. Um they might that leads me again. Like, actually, I saw her when I was a
young High School student. I was very involved with the International Red Cross, and
in 1985 is a Year's graduating from high school probably yours as well. I
think we're exactly similar age, and then, and that year, I don't know if you remember was
International year of the youth and there was a big, a lot of slogan, especially around the
Red Cross that I was involved in. It was a think, I think
Global act local. And so I, and I to me is a The buzzword and has
been a bit of a buzz word you know for years. And I think a lot of people talk
about that that would thinking Global and acting you know, local
but I think I actually want to commend you on being that person who is doing
that and so what was so great about traveling with you, folks is to Nepal,
was your involvement in like the community locally, you know,
you and Katherine Brave, don't Wicket rainstorm.
Thank God. You're still with us in some ways and a long drive to visit the
school that your family, you know, and helped, you know, and you had helped build
in 2009. But then, you know, we've set out with you. We started
opportunities in namche Bazaar, particularly to visit schools,
and income Jung with a Hillary Mallory school.
And I was just so impressed with your ability to Like want to pick like a project
and like I hear about a lot of people doing that but like you're actually
really taking an action steps towards that.
Can you share a little bit about maybe how you choose to,
you know, how it came about that? You visited a small school
and we saw what we saw and, you know, we're considering
doing some sort of activity within help with that school and how
if we do, how it will take place, which is Is also you're not just like throwing money
at something, which is which is great too. Can you share a little bit? Well, well, well
thanks for the kind words. I think my view is is if
you're visiting some of these places that
it's a good idea to you know, hopefully contribute back to
those places that were able to get some pleasure from and Nepal's a
country. I've now been to three times. I have a real soft spot for it. It's a wonderful place to
visit and in their earlier trip and through On the other things that we've done with our
foundation, we've met a lady Frances class old news from Kenmore,
who's lived in Nepal for a number of years, and has set up a charity there. And so in, at the time
we built a school, we were involved with helping Francis with some programs that she
did. So microcredit programs and educational support programs in
Katmandu itself. And so when we were heading back there, I
reached out to Francis and we were able to Have dinner. And then, of course, we had a
coffee with her with you and surely as well just brainstorming on some ideas for some
projects. And so it was at the top of my mind as we were doing our Trek to look out for things and
she had introduced us virtually and then we were able to meet with a fellow
in a bizarre who cut, you know,
multi-generational family there that's quite active there and he able was able to let us see the
school and tell us about some of the needs. In that community and a bit of the
history of how things have developed with the climbing industry in the
tracking and how that's affected the community around there.
And so we really we're looking to do something
where it wasn't just a gift, but it was more a partnership with people within the community and
asked the this fellow is as well about his
ideas on how to do that. And he came up with some good suggestions for potential
projects that would involve the local youth group. The Women's Group in the
community would involve some contribution from the locals and then some
contribution for us and then Francis would oversee the project to help
improve things at the school there. So it's still in the planning stages right now,
we're waiting for a proposal
but it's great to be able to explore those things. And see if we can find a way to get back to that
place that we will visit. I love it as we were planning or
preparing to go. To Nepal, will show, you know, weaker? Ten days, prior
occurred to us. Well, let's bring some pencils or sticklers for a couple of books
to like, handout it like, you know, schools and like do our part, and we didn't end up
doing that. But now, I just want to commend you on your involvement and, you know,
traveling into these third world countries that have a soft spot for you.
And, you know, looking for opportunities, to
maybe build or support awesome work. Myron. In respect
of our audience and maybe, you know, we're kind of clean this up. Part of finish this up as shortly.
I guess, you know, it seems to me that while actually two questions for you,
maybe kind of related as we as we come to a close
about your career, it seems to me that you've like landed in the perfect career for
yourself, and I've done great. But if you,
if you had to choose a different career, what would it be?
Let me ask you that. And then also maybe in related to that.
What advice would you give your
younger self? He
questions. I mean I I'm happy with the path that my career has taken. I come from a
family of teachers and I think I could have easily pursued that that as a career as
well, it's also important way that could have been an altar about. I think I was an
interesting business from very young age, even in high school. It
was something that I read about and that I wanted to get involved in,
but I didn't took me a while
to find the right path to get into it. And when I was at,
Diversity, one of my summer, jobs was
running a student painting business.
That was sort of my first taste of the entrepreneurialism
and I think I went into law. Really is a pathway into business
and and it allowed me to then move into the
more entrepreneurial things I've done since then,
if I were to give some advice to younger self, I would
suggest that what the most important thing is community and relationships.
And and, you know, so much of the enjoy
I've got out of my career and a lot of the success
as well as been able to find mentors, who have been very helpful to me and also
to build solid relationships with business partners and in others.
So, you know, taking that time to get to know people. It was one of the shifts from
law, you know, where you come from a
business where you judge your time in, you know,
point point 1 increments of an hour and so your productivity
is measured on how much you're actually
sitting there working. And when I left the perhaps Of law.
I think it took me a while to shift into that. Mold
that a lot of what you need to do, is around the Strategic thinking, and,
and building those relationships and getting out and being part of doing things. And
that is very much part of your work.
Is that? And that's also one of the things you get
pleasure out of this because of those relationships that would be one thing.

I've pulled a lot of that information out of them over a lot of years and was
able to share with you guys the listeners. He develops that he didn't really
know or want or need. He didn't think that I knew so much about them. That
was fun. Myron is a real Community guy, and the idea
around that slogan, that was A lot really seemed to me. It was an overused
