“Al is first class all the way! We had a basement renovation completed by Al and an extremely complicated garage added to our home.

If I ever need work done in the future, I will pick up the phone, call Al and never even question his bill. I truly do Trust him to do a great job” -Bob R.
A word from Trusted Sara about her personal experience with Al Schick Construction.
" I was told about Al Schick within weeks of arriving in Regina and looking for good, trustworthy contractors. He was quite hard to track down initially, as he had no website or social media, I eventually got his card from another client in the home building industry and gave him a call. He was friendly on the phone and seemed intrigued about the concept. He agreed to meet me for coffee to learn more but did warn me that he doesn't advertise. Our meeting went really well, he struck me as a warm, humble and friendly man who clearly cares about his customers. He talked about how important it was to him that his customers were happy with the work that was done, and how he was lucky to be doing what he loved for a living. To this day I am grateful that the only place he ever advertised is Trusted Regina, and that he extended his trust to me, he is a perfect example of the kind of businesses I love working with and promoting. In 2022 I met Les Schick for the first time. We met lots and worked together on website content, so I got to know him well which has been great. Les is a chip off the old block and it is great to see a long-term succession plan in place. Regina is lucky to have such a wonderful family construction business as an option, and I can't recommend Al Schick Construction highly enough. - Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Regina founder.
With their years of experience, dedication to quality, and trusted reputation, Al Schick Construction is a Regina general contractor you can trust. Congratulations, Al & Les, once again, on reaching this significant milestone!
Thank you for TRUSTING us, Al and Les. You have provided ten years of AMAZING service to the people of Regina & area as a Trusted Regina Partner in Regina Contractors and Regina Renovations categories.

WINMAR® to fly in 2023 Give Hope Wings Prairie Expedition
Pilot Kyle Jacques, and his co-pilot Yianni Macris, along with the support of WINMAR® Property Restoration Specialists, will be flying in the 6th Annual Give Hope Wings Prairie Expedition from June 18th through June 23rd. I have attached a press release and an infographic where you can make a donation to support Kyle, Yianni and WINMAR® on their journey!
"As the owner of multiple WINMAR® franchises in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, I understand the importance of helping our local communities and supporting those who support us each day. Often the remote communities that are spread throughout the Great Plains are still left without access or adequate transportation to the larger cities to access health and medical resources when they truly need them. Without a program like Give Hope Wings, some would never make it to medical appointments. In efforts to bridge this gap and to raise awareness to others that these programs and opportunities are out there for families truly in need. I will be taking part in Give Hope Wings expedition of 2023. The idea of helping remote communities and deserving families transport loved ones to the medical care they need, that they normally may not be able to get to, is not only life-changing for those families but also truly soul-filling for the ones helping make these differences in the lives of many.” – Kyle Jacques
The Give Hope Wings Prairies Expedition begins and ends in Regina. The group will fly east to Winnipeg, north to Thompson, then west to Fort McMurray then back via Lethbridge.
This is a total of 2,245m if you fly the entire route, about 23 hours at 100K.
The Expedition is organized so that you may join the group at any stop and finish at any point as well.
Give Hope Wings has raised more than $1.8 Million since 2017, which is enough to fund nearly 6000 flights for needy patients. For 2023, they’re targeting $600,000 raised which will help more than 2,000 individual patients in their healthcare journey. Our patient ambassadors, along with the impact it has on their family and friends, are the people you help by supporting Give Hope Wings.
Thank you again for considering the important role you can play in helping patients get medical care. If you'd like to support this cause, you can make a donation here: https://support.hopeair.ca/give-hope-wings/kyle-jacques-winmar
CONGRATULATIONS, WINMAR® REGINA - CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF TRUSTWORTHY BUSINESS PRACTICES IN REGINA
TRUSTED REGINA RECOGNIZES OUR PARTNERS WHO HAVE BEEN TRUSTED FOR OVER 10 YEARS!
In this series of recognition articles, we continue to spotlight the businesses that have been Trusted Regina Partners for over ten years. Currently, we are recognizing Partners that joined the Trusted Regina community in 2012. We want to thank them for TRUSTING our team, and we are identifying each of them individually for providing ten years of OUTSTANDING service to the citizens of Regina and the surrounding area! This latest article celebrates and recognizes WINMAR® Regina, a Trusted Regina contractor specializing in abatement and disaster services.
'We're Coming Through For You'
Who do you turn to after a disaster? You talk to your insurance company but then what? You are asked to get quotes to rebuild your life. As part of Canada's most extensive restoration network, WINMAR® Regina has been in business since 2010; a family-owned business that carries the values of the Co-owners, Anna Tzortzis and Kyle Jacques: honesty, integrity and a high level of professionalism. When disaster strikes, customers are provided with a personal service with a fundamental understanding of their loss.
Anna got her start in the construction business when she was just a teenager at her mother and stepfather's WINMAR® location in Chatham, Ontario. She started as a labourer, and she was working and learning how to run the office when she graduated high school. Kyle began construction during his teen years as well. Continuing in the construction field after high school, he found himself working as a roofing contractor for WINMAR® Chatham. That is where this power couple met and the beginning of something special.
Anna and Kyle started dating in 2013 and married in 2017. Together they are raising their two children. This family enjoys camping outdoors, snowmobiling and playing on their five acres. But for how much fun they have away from job sites and the office, work is a serious business for this couple.
WINMAR® Regina works with insurance companies to restore all kinds of claim work. These specialists are trained to take on a damage claim caused by anything from earth, fire, wind or water as a minor repair or a fully finished restoration. From city to country, firm to farm, they will do it all — residential, business or commercial.
But what if the problem wasn't from a disaster? Kyle and his crew also cover a wide range of specialties, from asbestos abatement and mould removal. They are qualified in water damage restoration, structural drying, microbial remediation, fire and smoke restoration and odour control. Winmar has the qualified staff for customized repair, or renovations, leaving you to decompress — not stress.
A LOCAL ENTREPRENEURIAL SUCCESS STORY.
Anna and Kyle have grown their business significantly since the Trusted Regina team first met them in 2012. They now own 5 WINMAR® locations across Saskatchewan, and recently, they moved into Manitoba!
WINMAR® Regina, SK, was opened by Anna in 2010 and she brought Kyle into the Regina location in 2013.
WINMAR® Moose Jaw, SK – Kyle opened in 2010 with Anna's parents. Kyle and Anna are the current owners.
WINMAR® Estevan, SK – Kyle and Anna opened in 2016
WINMAR® Yorkton, SK – Kyle and Anna opened in March 2019
WINMAR® Brandon, MB – Kyle and Anna opened in September 2022
WINMAR® Regina believes in having a positive and meaningful impact in the communities where they operate. They proudly support many local non-profits and organizations. Since their teen years, Anna and Kyle have spent their time restoring the lives of others. Even through their charitable work, they have been involved in helping children live better lives. They have made donations, including Ronald McDonald House and fundraising for autism. They have been involved with Santa's Anonymous and the Boys and Girls Club of Yorkton. They also sponsor the Regina PATS. Whatever they can get involved with, they will get involved with.
Anna launched Willy WINMAR®, everyone's favourite handy-bear, on July 1st, 2021. Willy has already attended Regina's "Food Truck Wars," "Summer Bash, and Summer Market" and has posed in countless selfies with his adoring fans.
This cuddly blue bear has only started working but has a vital role in the community. There could be times of trauma when Willy Winmar will be on-site handing out teddy bears to children who need a stuffed friend…a simple act of kindness showing this family-owned company's integrity.
WINMAR® Regina's most recent donation initiative was before Christmas 2022, and it was to the Inpatient Mental Health Adolescent Unit and Youth Detox at the Regina General Hospital.
They took "Willy WINMAR®," shopping at Walmart in the Eastend and bought several items from a list provided by the Units manager, Shalon Fleming BPAS; CSEP, CEP.
They got pretty much everything on the list and purchased an additional Ten $25 gift cards to top up anything else they may have needed that was not on the list. The total tally of the Donation was $2,600.
They then ventured to the Hospital, where the staff greeted the WINMAR® with lots of excitement and appreciation for the gesture. They also mentioned that they do not receive much attention regarding people or companies donating to their Unit. Willy finally arrived at the Adolescent Psychiatry Unit and wandered down the halls handing out some of the gifts purchased earlier that morning. They shared that the expressions on the kids' faces were priceless. They were hugging Willy, High pawing him and just super happy to see him and receive these items.
What WINMAR® Regina Clients Say…
“ WINMAR® did a total home renovation after a fire at my house. The service was excellent and they did an amazing job, especially during COVID. The whole WINMAR® team deserves recognition. Their sub-contractors were very good too with Velocity Plumbing and Heating doing the HVAC and Active Electric doing the electrical. All were professional and communicated with me as the homeowner. I would recommend them all.”- Don Hamilton
“We recently had water damage to our family room bar area. My insurance adjuster hooked me up with WINMAR®. Their reps called me immediately and came over to inspect the damages within the hour. The next day they had a team remove old rugs, tile-damaged walls, etc. I found their team to be very courteous, friendly and hard-working. Our Project Manager was amazing. He made sure the workers and job duties were coordinated in a timely manner and that everything was done to our satisfaction. I would recommend this company to anyone”- Patti Schlechter

A word from Trusted Sara about her personal experience with WINMAR® Regina
“ I first met Anna in 2012 and was impressed by her drive and I enjoyed hearing her entrepreneurial story. I had been referred to her by Selena, her cousin, who, at the time, also co-owned a WINMAR® franchise in Saskatchewan. There's not many women owned disaster services and construction companies, so I was interested to hear how she ended up owning a WINMAR® franchise in Regina. Anna shared that she was a second generation WINMAR® franchise owner, and that she had literally grown up in the industry. It was clear that she was not afraid of getting her hands dirty, Anna is a shinning example of a woman in trades, and she really knows her stuff! Over the years it has been wonderful to see how Anna and Kyle have grown and expanded their business, they are a dynamic duo and 100% committed to doing the best job they can for their clients, partners and the growing team of employees across the Prairies. Community support is a big part of their brand, and the whole family get involved in giving back in so many ways. If you are looking for a Regina disaster services comany or a general contractor I guarantee that WINMAR® Regina is a local family owned company you can trust! " Sara Wheelwright
