A Reason To Celebrate: Charlesglen Toyota Community Year In Review!
2025 was a year full of milestones, memories, and meaningful moments at Charlesglen Toyota — and what a ride it’s been! From exciting sales achievements and customer celebrations to community events and heartfelt tributes, this year reminded us why we love serving Calgary and Southern Alberta so much. As your local Toyota dealer, we’re proud to reflect on a year that was as special as the people who helped make it unforgettable.
Toyota President’s Program Winner Circle Recipient
This year, Charlesglen Toyota is proud to have been recognized as a Toyota President’s Program Winner Circle dealership! This is an honour awarded to dealerships that excel in sales satisfaction, service experience, vehicle delivery, and team training. This prestigious recognition from Toyota Canada reflects our team’s commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences at every touchpoint. We celebrated this achievement alongside our Toyota Canada representatives with smiles, treats, and well-earned pride—made possible by the continued trust and support of our loyal customers. Yay team!
Community Events that Brought Us Together
One of the highlights of 2025 was the 8th Annual Steel Dreamz Show ’n Shine, held at our Calgary location on June 7. This beloved event brought car enthusiasts, families, and neighbours together for a day of custom rides, live music, and fun activities, all while supporting KidSport Calgary & Area. The energy and generosity of the community made it a truly memorable celebration of automotive culture and charity.
We also enjoyed hosting family-friendly moments and small celebrations throughout the year, from “What’s Up Wednesday” posts encouraging local engagement to everyday reasons to smile at the dealership. These events remind us that Charlesglen Toyota isn’t just about vehicles; it’s about people, connections, and shared experiences.
Celebrating Team Achievements
2025 was also a year of recognition within our own Charlesglen Toyota family. In addition to the Toyota President’s Program Winner Circle, we were proud to celebrate several team members who earned excellence distinctions with Toyota Canada, a testament to the passion, professionalism, and dedication that our staff bring to every customer interaction. Their hard work helps ensure that every visit to our dealership is welcoming, informative, and supportive.
Strong Sales and Popular Toyota Models
This year, drivers from across Calgary and beyond came through our doors to check out the latest Toyota lineup. From the versatile 2025 Toyota RAV4—a top pick among SUV buyers—to rugged trucks like the 2025 Toyota Tacoma, Charlesglen Toyota had something for everyone. We also saw strong interest in efficient everyday favourites like the 2025 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hybrid — models that continue to win over drivers looking for value and reliability.
Whether you were browsing our selection of new cars for sale or exploring our dependable used cars for sale, our goal was to help you find a vehicle that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Honouring a Dear Friend: Remembering Mike Loritz
This year also brought moments of deep reflection and gratitude. We were heartbroken to share the passing of our dear teammate Mike Loritz, who lost his battle with cancer in 2025. Mike was more than a colleague — he was a friend, a trusted advisor, and a familiar face to many who visited Charlesglen Toyota. His kindness, humour, and commitment to customer care left an impact on everyone who knew him, and his memory continues to be honoured by our entire team.
Serving Our Calgary Community with Pride
Throughout 2025, we continued to serve not just as a dealership but as a hub for Calgary’s automotive community. Whether you were stopping by to compare the latest Toyota vehicles, explore our selection of dependable used cars, or schedule service with our certified technicians, our team was honoured to be part of your journey.
Some customers found their first vehicle with us, others upgraded to a more adventurous ride, and many returned again and again because they trust us to treat them like family.
Looking Ahead to 2026!
As we close the books on 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for every customer, every handshake, and every story shared on the lot or in the service lounge. From community events and charity support to everyday deals and dealership celebrations, this year gave us many reasons to celebrate — thanks to you.
Here’s to an exciting 2026 full of new Toyota models, continued community involvement, strong sales, and meaningful connections.
