While Marshall has made his mark on a menagerie of industries—auto, aviation, real estate, film production, construction, and health, to name a few—it is his philanthropic work benefitting children and the community that is perhaps his most fulfilling endeavour.
Brent's determination to have
all of his companies donate to charity has allowed him to construct a
Children’s Wing on the UNBC hospital, an outdoor patio for a paediatric ward, a Cancer Lodge Family Room, an
outdoor all-wheels park for kids, and large donations to over 30 other charities.
Marshall has orchestrated the
donation of nearly $5 million dollars to charities these past 15 years, earning him the title of
"The Face of Philanthropy”.

Philanthropy
I believe it’s socially responsible for every successful business to give back to their community in some way, and help support others who may not be having the same success or luck in their lives. I have found the success of each of my companies is in large part due to our commitment to giving back—this attracts incredible people into our lives.
We all need to challenge ourselves to give back what we can. The community gives us and our neighbours so much, it’s really the least we can do.

It’s more than real estate done differently. It’s creating poverty relief solutions outside the box in a world where only hexagons will survive.

BMX was a big thing when I was a kid growing up in Eastern BC. The local contractors and business owners got together and built us this big BMX park and I remember all the good memories and how much time we spent there.

I thought the Season of Giving calendar was the most brilliant idea because it gives people the ability to give a gift to someone during the holidays that in-turn, gives back to others in need.
As a Dream Team member, I Relay to show my support for all those who have had to battle this terrible disease, and for all the friends and relatives it has taken from us.
