As Chair of the Downtown Bolton Business Improvement Area, Maureen Tenaglia helps bring local businesses, residents, and families together through events that build pride in the downtown core.
BOLTON, ONT. – June 2026 – For Maureen Tenaglia, real estate and community have always been closely connected. An agent with Coldwell Banker Select Real Estate Brokerage in Bolton, Ontario, Maureen is also Chair of the Downtown Bolton Business Improvement Area, where she helps bring local businesses, residents, families, and community partners together through events and initiatives that support the downtown core.
Coldwell Banker Canada is proud to recognize Maureen as the June 2026 recipient of the Extraordinary Impact Award, a national recognition created to celebrate agents whose contributions to their communities reach beyond the transaction. At the heart of the award is a belief that strong communities are built by people who continue to show up for them, support them, and invest in them over time.
In Bolton, Maureen has done that through her work with the BIA, helping organize events that bring thousands of people into the downtown core and create opportunities for local businesses to connect directly with the community.
Maureen’s work with the BIA includes signature community events such as Christmas in the Valley, which brought together vendors, food trucks, local businesses, families, and community members for an evening of celebration and tree lighting. She is also helping lead Midnight Madness, a long-standing summer event that continues to grow each year and in 2025, saw record participation from vendors and members of the community.
Alongside these community events, Maureen has helped champion the beautification of downtown Bolton through the flower program that lines the core each season. For her, creating a welcoming environment is part of creating a sense of home. The flowers, streetscapes, and public spaces all contribute to the feeling that people belong there and that the community is something worth taking pride in.
These events bring people into the downtown core, create greater visibility for local businesses, and give residents a chance to gather, connect, and experience what makes Bolton feel like home.
That connection to place is also closely tied to how she views her role as a REALTOR®. For Maureen, helping people feel at home means helping them understand the community around them. It means knowing where to shop, who to call, suggest businesses to support, and how to become part of local life.
Her approach is grounded in connection. She believes real estate professionals can play an important role in helping people find their place within a community, whether that contribution is large or small.
“Every realtor’s life is different, and it comes down to what they can do,” Maureen shares. “Community involvement can be small or big, but it all helps.”
It is a perspective that reflects the way she shows up in Bolton. Alongside her work as a real estate agent, Maureen balances her role on the BIA board with family life, including raising teenagers involved in sports, managing the demands of work, and continuing to give her time to the community.
That balance is not always easy, but Maureen has made community involvement a lasting part of her life and career.
Through her leadership, local businesses are given more opportunities to be seen, residents are encouraged to support the shops and services close to home, and families have access to events that bring people together in the heart of their community.
As part of this recognition, Coldwell Banker Canada will make a $1,000 donation in Maureen’s name to Caledon Meals on Wheels, supporting an organization that provides services and connections to residents across the community.
The Extraordinary Impact Award was created to recognize agents whose contributions help strengthen the places they serve. Maureen Tenaglia’s work reflects the kind of local leadership that builds connection, supports small businesses, and helps people feel more at home in their community.
