Welcoming Regina Legion Branch 001 to the Trusted Regina Community As A Trusted Regina Non Profit

26. Oct 2023 Trusted Regina Regina Non-Profits, Trusted Partner News, Trusted Regina new Trusted partner

The Trusted Regina team is thrilled to announce a new category in 2023-  Trusted Regina NON-PROFITS! This is such a good fit for us, as we have always had a strong community focus. Trusted was proud to be recognized as the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce ABEX Award for Community recipient in 2017. In 2023, we felt it was time to extend the love, and we are revealing the second of our three Trusted Regina Non-profits. We are excited to announce that Regina Legion Branch 001 is our second Trusted Regina non-profit partner. 

A Long History Of Supporting Veterans

In 1926, history was made when the Regina Legion Branch was issued its charter, marking it as the very first branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Nestled at 1820 Cornwall Street, this historical institution has served as a pillar of support and a home away from home for our nation's heroes. Today, we proudly welcome Regina Legion Branch 001 to the Trusted Regina community as a Trusted Regina Non-profit, recognizing their invaluable contributions to our society.

 Trusted Regina Lending A Helping Hand Where It Is Truly Needed 

The past few years have been exceptionally challenging for the Regina Legion, as the global pandemic disrupted their operations and gatherings. Coupled with an aging demographic, regaining past membership numbers, volunteers, and sponsors has proven to be an uphill battle. Nevertheless, the Regina Legion Branch 001 membership remains unwavering in its dedication to its mission.

The Royal Canadian Legion was founded by Veterans for Veterans, and the Regina Legion continues to passionately advocate for the care and benefits of all who have served, regardless of when or where they served. This dedication extends to the currently serving Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and their families. The Regina Legion offers them representation and assistance, and access to these crucial services is provided at no cost, whether or not individuals are Legion members. 

   

Legion Branches serve as the heart of communities across Canada, providing one of the largest volunteer bases in the nation. With 1,350 Branches spread from coast to coast, Legion members are pivotal in offering local services and support that contribute to building a stronger Canada. Their multifaceted efforts include assisting local Veterans, supporting seniors, initiating youth sports programs, fundraising, volunteering to aid those in need, and providing a welcoming space for gatherings, fun, and celebration. In essence, Legionnaires offer indispensable services within their communities.

Moving Forward 

The Trusted Regina team and our community stand alongside the Regina Legion Branch 001. We hope to provide support and increase community engagement and awareness that will, in time, help pave the way for their future growth and revitalization. Exciting developments are underway, such as the newly renovated event space, grants to get them back on track, and soon the re-opening of their museum; if you have not yet had the chance to witness the stunning interior of their building on Cornwall Street, prepare to be amazed by its historical significance and beauty.


As Trusted Regina welcomes the members of Regina Legion Branch 001 to our community, we also extend our heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering commitment to our Veterans and the broader community. The Legion has been an essential part of our country's history and is vital in shaping our future. Together, we can continue to ensure that the legacy of service, sacrifice, and support lives on. 

Regina, help us help Regina Legion Branch 001 go from surviving to thriving. Their work is too important, and to do it well, they need community support!

24. Oct 2023 Trusted Regina Trusted Partner News, Trusted Regina Directory , Trusted Regina new Trusted partner

The Trusted Regina team is thrilled to announce a new category in 2023-  Trusted Regina NON-PROFITS!  

This is such a good fit for us, as we have always had a strong community focus. Trusted was proud to be recognized as the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce ABEX Award for Community recipient in 2017.

In 2023, we felt it was time to extend the love, and we are revealing the first of our three Trusted Regina Non-profits. We are excited to announce that The Kinsmen Foundation - TeleMiracle is our first-ever Trusted Regina non-profit partner. 



The Trusted Regina team is thrilled to welcome the Kinsmen Foundation - TeleMiracle to the Trusted Regina community. 


We are grateful to have a wonderful relationship with the folks at The Kinsmen Foundation here in Saskatoon. Our sister company, Trusted Marketing Services, has been working with The Foundation for the last ten months, helping them with social media and other marketing pieces, and a past Trusted Saskatoon team member, Carman Praski, is the Fund Development Manager. Carman introduced us to the organization in 2022, and we are in awe of all they do for this province! We look forward to helping them reach even more people through our networks and assisting them in raising as much money as possible through the 2024 TeleMiracle Telethon, which takes place in Regina on February 24th and 25th. 

"Ring Those Phones"


TeleMiracle, the beloved annual telethon, has been a cornerstone of Saskatchewan culture for decades, raising millions of dollars to support people in need. As we open our hearts and arms to the incredible team at TeleMiracle, let's explore the history of this iconic event and its remarkable impact on the people of Saskatchewan.

The TeleMiracle Legacy

The history of TeleMiracle stretches back to 1977, when it was first introduced as an annual telethon organized by the Kinsmen and Kinettes of Saskatchewan. Over the years, it has become a cherished Saskatchewan tradition, as much a part of the province's cultural fabric as wheat fields and prairie sunsets.

Every year, TeleMiracle unites people across Saskatchewan with a shared purpose: to raise funds to support individuals with medical expenses, special needs, and mobility challenges. The telethon is more than just a fundraiser; it is a symbol of hope, unity, and the indomitable spirit of the people of Saskatchewan.

The Impact of TeleMiracle


TeleMiracle's impact on Saskatchewan cannot be overstated. The funds raised through this annual event go to support a wide range of programs and services, including medical equipment, travel assistance, and other vital resources for individuals facing life-altering challenges. See an example of their impact in the video below. 



The Kinsmen Foundation, through TeleMiracle, has played a crucial role in transforming lives and providing much-needed assistance. Many families and individuals have found hope and relief through their initiatives. The positive impact of TeleMiracle extends not only to those directly assisted but also to the entire province. It reflects the compassion and generosity that define the Saskatchewan community.

A Team with Huge Hearts


At the heart of TeleMiracle's success is the dedicated team of dedicated individuals working tirelessly to make it all happen. The Kinsmen Foundation's dedicated employees, who work tirelessly behind the scenes all year, the Kinsmen and Kinettes of Saskatchewan, along with countless volunteers, have shown unwavering commitment and enormous hearts in their efforts to organize the annual TeleMiracle telethon. They embody the spirit of Saskatchewan, where people come together to help one another, where communities rally in times of need, and where kindness knows no bounds.

This exceptional team exemplifies the very essence of Trusted Saskatoon, where businesses and organizations that are committed to their community and share a genuine desire to make a positive impact are celebrated.




“The Kinsmen Foundation is an amazing organization with a genuine mission to help Saskatchewan residents with miracles of mobility equipment and much needed financial support when they have nowhere else to turn. I’m so humbled and grateful to be able to give my time and talents to making our province a better place, one individual and one family at a time. TeleMiracle is truly rooted in Saskatchewan with such a long-standing tradition of success, and without our generous TeleMIracle donors, who are our true Miracle Makers, we couldn’t do what we do in Helping People Every Day. Thank you, Saskatchewan!” – Carman Praski, Fund Development Manager, Kinsmen Foundation

As we welcome the Kinsmen Foundation's TeleMiracle to TrustedRegina as a Non-Profit, we embrace not only a tradition but a symbol of hope, unity, and the incredible spirit of Saskatchewan. TeleMiracle has touched countless lives, providing assistance, support, and a beacon of hope to those who need it most. We look forward to supporting their continued efforts and to standing alongside this incredible team. In an ever-changing world, it's comforting to know that the values of compassion, community, and a willingness to lend a helping hand remain unwavering in Saskatchewan. TeleMiracle is a shining example of these qualities. We salute the Kinsmen and Kinettes of Saskatchewan and all who contribute to this incredible endeavour. Together, we'll continue to positively impact our province, as their motto says...

Kinsmen Foundation - TeleMiracle is a Trusted Regina Non-Profit



Trusted Regina receives a negative Google review from Trevor

10. Dec 2015 Trusted Regina Trusted Partner News, Trusted Regina Directory , TRUSTED TIPS, Website
The Trusted Regina directory team really care about the opinions and thoughts of YOU, the Regina public. WE work for you by finding the best locally accountable Regina businesses and promoting them as a community. We do this so you can find trustworthy companies really easily. We are just like you, and we have been burned in the past from disreputable companies who over promised and undelivered, in fact the founder Sara was ripped off and this prompted her to start Trusted!! ( read the story here)  

The internet has really been a game changer for consumers and for businesses. On the positive side it means we can research companies and products much easier BEFORE we contact them, saving us time.....but what if you read reviews that are bias, misinformed or simply not the truth??  We have supported Trusted partners through this process and tried to guide them in how to deal with this sometimes devastating process, it’s something that most local businesses really do fear.

This time it is our turn.....Trevor took the time to leave a review for The Trusted Regina team today, so we wanted to make something positive out of a ‘ negative situation ‘ for the Trusted team. Read his review and our founder Sara Wheelwright’s response  below.    
We truly thank Trevor for allowing us an opportunity to speak about what we do , and hopefully explain that we are indeed the REAL DEAL, also this allows us the opportunity to  use our experience to highlight one of the biggest things local and big businesses are having to deal with!  Words are powerful and we all have a voice online, please be informed, be nice and be wise in how you use that voice. 


Response from Sara 

 Trevor- firstly thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and giving our team a chance to explain to you who we, what we do and why we are set up the way we are. 
Firstly a business does't pay to be Trusted - they qualify to be Trusted after passing a strict verification process ( pass or fail) and signing an annual contract to uphold a specific standard and set of guarantees. We welcome feedback and you can contact us by phone, email or on our many social media pages . We are a local team with offices in Regina and Saskatoon. 


We are not a ' review company ' you are correct - they are 10 a penny all over the web, most reviews online are not verified in any way. In addition evidence and data clearly proves that up to 40% of all reviews are false . Also, we know that many people who review businesses negatively are not interested in solving issues , but just use these review sites to complain. This can really effect local businesses who would otherwise have worked hard to rectify any wrongs they may have done! No one is perfect are they? 

At Trusted - we are unique- the testimonials you see displayed on the feature listings are from real people that we spoke to personally as part of the verification process- we contact 25 previous clients and survey them in person and over the phone. 

( See an example below) 


We work with the businesses over the year - helping them with service questions, sharing info from the public, training them about the internet and social media and supporting their endeavors by promoting them as wonderful local companies that meet our high standards and believe in what we stand for. However who we really work for is YOU - the public. We also mystery shop a random selection of the businesses to check that they are doing a great job when they don't know we are looking! 

If there are issues - We offer a hands on dispute resolution process that determines if the business has broken their contract with Trusted - if we find they have, we give them the opportunity to rectify their mistake - if they do not we remove them from the Trusted website(s) - we speak to both parties on the phone, on email and in person to ensure we know all the facts before making our decision. 

The businesses pay an annual membership fee which is minimal, from that we invest heavily in marketing to promote them as a community. How else do we let people know about our service in the cities we serve?  Also, of course our hardworking local team  are compensated for the countless hours we put into providing the best possible on and offline  experience for the public and the partners. 

If you wish to complain about any Trusted business , you can contact us via any of the ways mentioned above and we will be happy to offer assistance, advice and even mediation if you feel you need it? 
However by just reviewing Trusted negatively, like you have today with out truly knowing who we are and what we do, means you are again solidifying to our team that review sites are not what we ever want to be ...We offer a local service that is specialized, unique , personal , locally focused , accountable and absolutely trustworthy . 

Many thanks again for the opportunity to educate you and any others that may have been feeling the same way. We hope you reconsider you 2 star review of our services, we would love nothing more than to be an asset in your life! 


 Sincerely on behalf of my team and the Trusted Partners across SK . 

Sara Wheelwright , Owner S & E Trusted Online Directories
