At 100 Women Who Care Fort Macleod & Area, our strength comes from the incredible women who choose to show up, give back, and invest in our community.

We’re proud to begin featuring our members — the women whose support is making a real difference locally.

Today, we’re highlighting Virginia Wishart, CIR Realty.

A Fort Macleod-based Realtor with over 25 years of experience in international sales and marketing, Virginia brings a high level of professionalism, innovation, and care to everything she does. Through her work with CIR Realty, she supports clients across Southwest Alberta with residential real estate needs — from family homes to acreages and heritage properties.

Known for her thoughtful, client-focused approach, Virginia understands that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s a major life moment. Her use of modern marketing tools, including professional photography, video, and digital promotion, ensures her clients are positioned for success every step of the way.

We’re incredibly grateful to have Virginia as part of our 100 Women Who Care community. Her support helps us continue to uplift and invest in local initiatives that matter.

Thank you, Virginia, for making a difference 💙

This week, Anthony Burdett proudly accepted $3,800 on behalf of the F.P. Walshe Sports & Alumni Association from 100 Women Who Care Fort Macleod & Area. 🏀🏐

The F.P. Walshe Sports & Alumni Association plays an important role in supporting student-athletes by helping ensure teams have access to proper, high-quality uniforms. These uniforms do more than represent a team — they build unity, confidence, school pride, and a strong sense of belonging.

This donation will go toward replacing aging uniforms for several teams, helping ensure all student-athletes are equipped with safe, professional gear and can represent their school with pride.

Our members are incredibly proud to support initiatives that invest in youth, teamwork, and the overall student experience in our community.
