In 2025 Minto and CHEO celebrate 25 years of dreams

The 2025 Minto Dream Home for CHEO is named the Sterling for good reason. Because it’s the ‘silver edition’ home, marking the 25-year partnership between Minto and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. It represents a legacy of support for the CHEO Foundation’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. 

The partnership stems back to when Robert Greenberg was Minto’s Executive Vice President. Robert, the son of Gilbert Greenberg, one of the founding brothers of the Minto Group. His dream was to create a partnership that not only supported a local hospital but served the community as a whole. 25 years later, that dream still holds strong.

Steve Read, president and CEO of the CHEO Foundation, was quoted in the Ottawa Business Journal, saying “They’ve been an outstanding partner to us and everything that we’re trying to achieve. I hope everybody at Minto feels very much part of the success of the lottery, and that they feel connected to the work that takes place at CHEO to treat the kids and youth in this region.”

That’s what designing and building the Minto Dream Home is all about: contributing to the success of the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery and supporting CHEO families. Which is why so much effort, innovation and team work goes into the lottery’s grand prize.

It’s the Minto way. It’s the CHEO way.

Minto doesn’t just build homes or develop communities. We started as a family real estate construction company, aiming to give Ottawa residents better places to live, work and play. That’s been our goal for the past 70 years—giving is at the heart of it and that’s exactly what CHEO does.

CHEO gives parents and their children care, compassion and hope. And our partnership allows us to give back to a hospital that impacts half a million lives each year, with the Minto Dream Home and the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery bringing us all together. From trade partners and media relations to the whole community, everybody plays a part to give CHEO children and their families hope for a brighter future.

“Every ticket purchased in the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery means more support for the children and families in our community.” Steve Read, President & CEO, CHEO Foundation

Minto donated a wall mural to the hospital in 2020, as a display of commitment to our partnership and our appreciation for everything CHEO does. “Minto Way” is located in one of the main hallways within CHEO and serves to brighten the day of those who see it daily.

Start dreaming Today!

Together with CHEO, the Minto Dream Home and Dream of a Lifetime Lottery have raised millions for the CHEO Foundation since 2001. This allows the hospital to continue its life-changing services. And you're part of that dream when you purchase a ticket, giving hope and support to CHEO families.

The 2025 Minto Dream Home is located in Mahogany, Manotick, a community homeowners dream of, with established amenities, parks and pathways and new homes you won’t find anywhere else. All within walking distance to historic and charming Manotick Village.

The 2025 Minto Dream Home for CHEO is designed in partnership with Minto’s Product Development Team and Tanner Vine Interiors. It’s built on a grand corner lot with stunning views of the community pond, featuring 5,360 square feet with an interior design inspired by contemporary Art Deco. There’s also an unexpected surprise space in the basement (but we can’t give away more than that).

“[It’s] an absolute honour to collaborate with Minto on such an important fundraising project for CHEO … There’s all these amazing trades and suppliers and craftsmen who are all coming together in a very collaborative effort to support this worthy cause.” Tanner Vine, Tanner Vine Interiors
